Thanks, Daniel. I did find the Apple support earticle to which you referred. That had not come up when I simply googled Wi-Fi calling. But I am still not sure whether or not I'm going to have a problem if I have Wi-Fi calling turned on and I'm out around town in a place where I do have a cell connection but no Wi-Fi. Is the phone going to be smart enough to simply use my cell connection? Or do I have to turn Wi-Fi calling off? I guess I can just go down the Street away from my house and find out the hard way.
