Most of the winter road does not have cellular network coverage but if you have access to a Wi-Fi hotspot you can still call or text with WiFi calling. Not all devices or mobile network operators support Wi-Fi calling.
Here is how to enable Wi-Fi calling on Android and iOS:
Android
- Open the Phone app
.
- Tap More
Settings.
- Tap Calls.
- Tap Wi-Fi calling. If you don’t see this option, it’s because your carrier or phone doesn’t support this feature.

- If Wi-Fi Calling is available, you’ll see Wi-Fi after your carrier name in the status bar. Then your calls will use Wi-Fi Calling.
