Will Wi-Fi calling still work if roaming is activated?
Yes, Wi-Fi Calling still works even if you have International Roaming activated. Think of Wi-Fi Calling as your "home base" connection—whenever you are on a stable Wi-Fi network, you can call and text at your standard domestic rates.
How it works abroad:
⚠️ Warning
To avoid unexpected charges, we recommend not having both enabled at the same time if you can help it. If your Wi-Fi signal drops even for a second, your phone might automatically jump to a roaming cellular connection, which will start using your Pay As You Go credit.
✅ Pro-Tip If your roaming service isn't working or the local signal is weak, disable Wi-Fi Calling in your phone settings. Sometimes having both active can cause the phone to "get confused" about which signal to prioritize.
How it works abroad:
- On Wi-Fi: Your phone uses the internet to connect. This uses your regular plan minutes and avoids extra charges.
- Off Wi-Fi: Your phone switches to local cellular towers. This is when International Roaming kicks in, and charges are deducted from your Pay As You Go balance.
