About Wi-Fi Calling

Wi-Fi Calling is a free feature for T-Mobile 

customers using this device with the new 

micro SIM card. Wi-Fi Calling is an excellent 

solution for coverage issues in and around 

the home or wherever cellular coverage is 

limited. Minutes used while connected to 

the Wi-Fi network count against available 

rate plan minutes. 

Unless your rate plan provides otherwise, 

Wi-Fi Calling minutes count the same as 

T-Mobile cellular calling minutes on your 

phone bill.

Note: To use Wi-Fi Calling, you must first turn on 

Wi-Fi and connect to a Wi-Fi network.
Note: This feature is active by default. If you are 

in an active Wi-Fi call and go out of range of your 

Wi-Fi, the call will be dropped.

When the Wi-Fi Calling feature is on, your 

phone displays 

 (

Wi-Fi Calling On

) on 

the Status bar.

When on an active call using the Wi-Fi 
Calling feature, your phone displays 

 

(

Wi-Fi Calling Active-In Call

) on the Status 

bar.

To stay on a Wi-Fi call, you must remain 

within range of the Wi-Fi network you 

are using. As you leave the Wi-Fi signal 

area, your phone beeps and displays a 

message advising you to move to an area 

with a stronger signal. If you lose the Wi-Fi 

network’s signal, your call will be dropped.

Connection options

Wi-Fi Calling allows you to choose between 

these connection options:

Wi-Fi Preferred:

 All calls are 

made over an available Wi-Fi 

network. If there are no available 

Wi-Fi networks, then calls are 

made over the cellular network.
