As long as you’re on your local network you can still do all the FaceTime tricks mentioned, wasn’t trying to confuse things. With it not being available you’re still fine. All WiFi calling does is allows the phone to be out of the picture and the calls to go to the carrier directly over your

Hi, No, WiFi Assist is used when you have a poor WiFi connection. If the WiFi connection is poor, then the iPhone will automatically switch over to LTE or whatever data you have to give you the fastest connection. Many people have turned it off as they found that the process was making their

Is this the same as Wifi Assist? If it is, I have that option. By the way, on that same area in phone settings is "announce calls". I have it set to never but would like to know what it is as its apparently not the same as being notified when a call comes in which I do hear. From

To answer E.T.’s question, I believe verizon does have WiFi calling. They didn’t when I was there but I think it’s been added since. Go to settings, phone, and look for a WiFi calling option and try enabling it. > On Oct 18, 2016, at 9:54 AM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > > Hi, > >

Not only that but if your carrier supports WiFi calling your devices can log in to your provider directly. The watch does this, and FaceTime on other devices. If you have it enabled you can still use the phone with out your iPhone even having to be on or in range. > On Oct 17, 2016, at 5:28

The last time it happened, I was in the middle of something and did not want to get into a mess. So because the Mac has no phone app per se, all calls will come though Facetime? I assume if I have a headset connected, the audio will come through that. I will volunteer a friend to help
