Samsung launches Wi-Fi Calling: how it works and which Galaxy are compatible. Samsung announces the launch of the Wi-Fi Calling feature for its Android smartphones, which allows you to make and receive calls over the Wi-Fi network. This is a function that could be particularly useful for those who have difficulty receiving telephone reception at home or in the office since it allows you to take advantage of Wi-Fi ensuring call continuity when switching from the cellular network. Let’s take a closer look at how it works, how to activate it and which models support it for the moment.

Samsung announces Wi-Fi Calling: how it works and how to activate it
The new Wi-Fi Calling function is quite simple to explain: it allows you to make or receive calls when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, offering continuity in the eventual switch from 4G cellular network to Wi-Fi (and vice versa) without the user has to do nothing, since everything happens completely automatically. The switch is managed on the basis of specific signal level thresholds, in order to avoid too frequent changes between VoWiFi and VoLTE, and continuity is also guaranteed by the fact that the functioning of the Wi-Fi Calling technology is based on the same infrastructure.
The service is enabled by default and does not require switching from the settings or downloading additional apps, given that it is fully integrated into the One UI 5.0 based on Android 13, which has already arrived on many Samsung Galaxy smartphone and tablet models in recent weeks .
No changes regarding the main network services: Wi-Fi Calling supports, for example, call waiting, voice mail and calls to emergency numbers. It allows an optimized management of the coverage inside the buildings by the operator in areas with poor cellular coverage and a consequent optimization of the quality of the voice service.
Compatible Samsung Galaxy models with Wi-Fi Calling
For the moment, Samsung only offers the Wi-Fi Calling function on the smartphones of the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, consisting of the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra, but the technology will soon be available on other models. The service is being activated for compatible operators (such as WINDTRE), so it may not have arrived yet for everyone.
