Questions 1: What is Wi-Fi Calling?

Wi-Fi Calling lets you use your actual carrier phone number over the internet. This is quite different from Google Hangouts and Skype which let you talk to other people using call forwarding or an internet-based interface. Wi-Fi Calling is also distinct from VoIP technology, which lets you use an internet-connected phone exactly as you would a landline.

When making Wi-Fi calls, your voice is connected to your mobile carrier's network using the internet instead of the traditional cell towers. You can take advantage of Wi-Fi calling and even call with your phone number when your network cuts out or you're outside your coverage area.

Questions 2: What Carrier Support Wi-Fi Calling ?

T-Mobile is clearly on-board, as they said over and over again at their Uncarrier event. And since iOS beta 3, T-Mobile users are able to make Wi-Fi calls.

AT&T and Verizon are not with so much zeal compared with T-Mobile. They said they will support WiFi calling, but not until 2015.

Sprint supports Wi-Fi Calling for compatible Android phones, but there's no word on any forthcoming support for iPhones.

Questions 3: Which iPhone Support Wi-Fi Calling?

Wi-Fi calling is not for all iOS 8 devices. T-Mobile currently only supports the iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models with Wi-Fi Calling. Hopefully, there will be more devices compatible with Wi-Fi calling when AT&T and Verizon enable Wi-Fi calling.
