The one thing that I think happens if you leave it on and are out somewhere
else is that if you ever had an emergency, 911 would get your home address
even if you ended up using wifi in another town. It seems like it's another
thing one has to remember to go in to and continuously update just in case.

Yes, Both T-Mobile and Sprint default to WiFi when connected.

For Sprint WiFi calling the service provider name changes. Also Sprint
WiFi is always on in my house even though I have good signals in most of
it.

You can leave it on at all times. It only uses wifi for devices that don’t
have a cellular connection, or when your connection gets weak on the
phone.

Thanks, Daniel. I did find the Apple support earticle to which you
referred. That had not come up when I simply googled Wi-Fi calling. But
I am still not sure whether or not I'm going to have a problem if I have
Wi-Fi calling turned on and I'm out around town in a place where I do
have a cell connection but no Wi-Fi. Is the phone going to be smart
enough to simply use my cell connection? Or do I have to turn Wi-Fi
calling off? I guess I can just go down the Street away from my house
and find out the hard way.

Hi Mary,
If you have t-mobile or sprint, you can use what’s called enhanced
wi-fi calling, which allows other iPads, iPods or Macs to make and
receive wifi calls, the same way your phone does. However, the really
awesome advantage to this is you can leave your phone at home, or
somewhere else entirely, or even turned completely off, and your other
devices you have set up will ring as if you had normal continuity set
up. Do a google search for making a call with wi-fi calling, and a
result from apple support should pop up. That page will give you all
the information you need.

My new iPhone has the capability of doing Wi-Fi calling. It was not on
by default. When I turned it on, it seemed to allow me to also have my
iPad mini two, which is not a cell model, do this Wi-Fi calling. So I
googled around and wasn't really able to find out very much
information. I understand the purpose of Wi-Fi calling is to let you
make phone calls when your cell network is weak. However, if you have
it enabled, and are in an area with a strong cell signal, will you use
your cellular network? Or will you use your Wi-Fi network? This is, of
course, assuming the Wi-Fi network is also strong. And how would a
Wi-Fi enabled iPad with no cellular capability do wi-Fi calling? Or,
if you do have Wi-Fi calling enabled, and are out in the city and have
no Wi-Fi available, will you still be able to use your cell network
without turning this feature off? I am just not clear about whether it
is a good idea to have it turned on all the time, or just turn it on
when you need it.
