How your phone's Wi-Fi calling is billed
Wi-Fi calling on an iPhone or Android uses Wi-Fi instead of a cell tower. But it's still your carrier's call, on your carrier's price list.
- Calls back to your home country are often charged as if you were at home. Many carriers treat these as normal calls from your plan.
- Calls to other countries are usually billed at your carrier's international rate, which can be over $1 a minute.
- It may not work at all. Some carriers only allow Wi-Fi calling in certain countries, and some countries block it.
Check your carrier's Wi-Fi calling page before you rely on it. Rules differ between carriers.
