4G & Wi-Fi Calling

Stay connected wherever you are. 4G and Wi-Fi Calling allow you to enjoy clearer calls using your phone's mobile data or Wi-Fi connection.

Easy to use

There’s no separate app to download. Once set-up, 4G and Wi-Fi calling connect automatically

More reliable

Connect both inside and outside without fuss, and call from places that regular phone signal can’t reach

No extra costs

We don't charge extra for 4G and Wi-Fi Calling - all calls come from your usual allowance

4G Calling

When enabled, your phone will use 4G instead of the usual 2G/3G, which means you'll connect faster and enjoy crystal-clear voice and video quality. Plus, it won't affect your other data streaming.

Wi-Fi Calling

We know that sometimes walls or nearby buildings can interfere with your coverage. With Wi-Fi Calling you can make and receive calls in any location that has a Wi-Fi network, even if there’s no regular phone signal or poor indoor coverage.
