WiFi Calling works like other voice over IP (VoIP) applications—think WhatsApp and Skype. However, there are a few key differences that make it unique.

The data packets go through different streams, but they all end up at the core data network, rerouting that information back to the recipient. (This simplification, of course, does not address all the nuances and brilliant technology like IMS that facilitate this sort of interoperability.)

How much data does a WiFi call use?It varies, but you can assume about 1 MB of data per minute for a call and 6-8 MB of data per minute for a video call. Do all phones support WiFi calling?No. You need to have a phone that’s VoLTE enabled and has the WiFi calling feature activated. If you don’t know if your phone is HD Voice-enabled, check this list. What if my phone doesn’t support it?If your phone, or carrier, doesn’t support it, you can always call and text from WiFi via third-party apps. The most common ones are Skype, Google Hangout, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Viber. How fast does my WiFi connection need to be?The more bandwidth you have, the better your connection will be. A minimum of 1Mbps should be enough to make calls. However, we’ve seen reports that WiFi can hold a call as slow as 80Kbps, but the quality will be lower.
