Configuring Wi-Fi Calling on Mobile Devices

This article outlines steps to configure Wi-Fi calling features on popular mobile device platforms.  Wi-Fi calling ensures adequate network coverage to make and receive calls in buildings that lack cellular network signal.  It's important that the mobile device is connected to a campus Wi-Fi network when setting up or using Wi-Fi calling.
