What is "wi-fi" calling?

How is it different than regular calling?

Why would I want to use one over the other?

Thanks.

As I understand the term...

It means your phone uses the wifi rather than a cellular signal to make voice calls.

It saves data for those that are on pay-as-you-go plans, or are in a area of weak cell service.

When we were overseas, we turned of cell service but could still make calls when in a wifi area

Yes, that’s how we use our cell phones at home. Same problem as pique, weak cellular signal.
