The Wi-Fi calling feature will be offered in addition to the 3G and LTE voice-over services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Does It Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wi-Fi calling allows users to make calls from their cell phones while connected to a personal or business wireless network, instead of calling through the typical carrier 3G, 4G, or LTE network. Though it does still count toward a user&#8217;s phone plan minutes, calling over Wi-Fi is typically more stable since it relies on a short-range, high-powered network. That&#8217;s why a home or work Wi-Fi network is just fine for streaming HD movies, but sometimes even high-speed LTE isn&#8217;t. Coverage also plays an important role: More Wi-Fi routers have a very small area of coverage, but calling works well almost anywhere within that range.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carriers<\/strong> <strong>Vary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wi-Fi calling could be a major boost for carriers and users, too. It&#8217;s unclear whether the service will support sending SMS messages over personal Wi-Fi networks in addition to calls, and whether Wi-Fi communication will cause a noticeable impact on home and business networks&#8217; performance.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited AT&amp;T is going to offer Wi-Fi calling on the new iPhone 6?<\/p>\n<p>Image courtesy of <a target=\"_blank\"
