Does Google Fi Wireless support Wi-Fi calling?

Wi-Fi calling is an almost essential feature for those who live in areas (or large buildings) with poor cellular reception, but not all phone carriers fully support it. Wondering if there is support for Google Fi Wi-Fi Calling? The short answer is yes; all Fi plans support Wi-Fi calling.

Wi-Fi calling on the Google Fi network works as the name suggests: you can send calls or texts even if you have poor cellular reception, as they will use your Wi-Fi connection instead. Almost all iPhone and Android devices support Wi-Fi calling, unless they are terribly outdated. Wondering how to enable Wi-Fi Calling on Fi? It's quite simple, as we'll explain in the next section.

Is Google Fi Wi-Fi calling not working?

What if Google Fi Wi-Fi Calling isn't working properly for you? Don't panic, there are steps you can take to resolve the situation. Here are some reasons why things might not work:

Your phone is not properly connected to Wi-Fi. Check your connection and verify that Wi-Fi Calling is actually enabled in the Google Fi app. Is this a new line? If you just got Fi and are in the middle of a number transfer, Wi-Fi calling won't work until the transfer is completely complete. Airplane mode can be turned on accidentally. To solve this problem, just disable it. Simple. You are using outdated software. Check for updates and apply them if you find any. Your phone doesn't support Wi-Fi calling to begin with. Try searching for a Wi-Fi option in your phone settings. If nothing is displayed, the phone was probably not designed to support the feature. For iPhone, go to Settings > General > About, and you should see Wi-Fi Calling as an option if available.

If your phone isn't compatible, you'll need a new one to enable Wi-Fi calling. Be sure to check out our guides to the best Android phones as well as the best cheap phones you can buy.
