Cellular Wi-Fi calling

February 25, 2020

Wi-Fi calling can be used in the North Wing or any other areas where there is poor cellular coverage.  This can be done by enabling the Wi-Fi feature on your cellular device.  This feature, available on iPhone IOS and Android devices, allows you to call and message (text and multimedia) over Wi-Fi when you have little or no cellular coverage.  You can use Wi-Fi Calling to call and message as you do on the cellular network, even if the person on the other end is not using Wi-Fi Calling.

Wi-Fi calling is supported by most major carriers (Bell, Telus, Videotron, Rogers, Fido, Virgin, Freedom, Lucky).  Please contact your cellular provider to confirm if Wi-Fi Calling with your device is supported.
