Wi-Fi Calling is a feature that allows you to make and receive voice calls over a Wi-Fi network instead of using a cellular connection. It is designed to provide better call quality and coverage in areas with weak or no cellular signal.
When it comes to the question of whether Wi-Fi Calling automatically switches to cellular, the answer is typically no. Wi-Fi Calling is designed to prioritize using a Wi-Fi network whenever it's available. However, there are certain scenarios where the switch to cellular may occur:
1. Loss of Wi-Fi connectivity: If your device loses its Wi-Fi connection while on a Wi-Fi call, it may automatically switch to a cellular network to ensure uninterrupted call continuity.
2. Weak Wi-Fi signal: In some cases, if the Wi-Fi signal becomes too weak or unstable, the device may transition to cellular to provide a more reliable connection.
3. Incoming cellular call: If you receive an incoming cellular call while already on a Wi-Fi call, the device may switch to cellular to handle the incoming call.
4. Settings configuration: It's worth noting that some devices allow you to manually configure Wi-Fi Calling preferences. In such cases, you may have the option to prioritize cellular over Wi-Fi under specific circumstances.
Overall, Wi-Fi Calling is set up to prioritize Wi-Fi network usage to take advantage of its benefits, but it can switch to cellular in certain situations to ensure seamless communication.
