Learn about 4G Calling

4G Calling means that when you make or receive a phone call, your phone will stay on 4G so your internet doesn't slow down. That means you can use data at 4G speeds even when you're on a call. Sounds simple, but you'd be surprised how few mobile providers will let you do this.

  • With 4G Calling your calls now go over the 4G network, which makes them crystal clear between compatible phones

If you're using Wi-Fi Calling, 4G Calling means your calls will seamlessly hand over between wi-fi and 4G.
