One of the greatest little features T-Mobile has had over the competitors for a quite some time was their Wi-Fi calling function. Simply put, it let you use your Wi-Fi connection to make and receive calls. It was a great benefit to those that lived on the outskirts of a coverage zone. Of course it was a built-in function that was only sometimes able to work with custom ROMs and such. For the stock user out there, it was pretty good. Now Sprint is jumping on the bandwagon and is bringing Wi-Fi calling to two of their devices. Beginning today the
Samsung Galaxy Mega and
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will be granted an OTA that will enable the function.
- Enhanced coverage for in-building coverage or areas with challenging network conditions.
- Easy Setup:Â Once activated, everything is seamless and happens in the background.
- Unlimited voice calling and messaging on Wi-Fi: All domestic calling and messaging is FREE (standard CDMA international rates apply for international calls).
Sprint is fully planning to expand the Wi-Fi calling functionality in an OTA to more devices through-out the year.
