[NJTechDiv] wifi calling on an Iphone

Mon Nov 29 03:29:57 UTC 2021

Hi Ken, you should be able to get a hold of her through FaceTime. Using her Apple ID. Which could be her phone number. WiFi calling will still use her minutes and also it depends a straight talk offers Wi-Fi calling on their service. As a temporary, but not for the faint of heart people. You can set up a textnow or Google voice phone number on her phone. This is an app download it from the App Store that gives you a real phone number and you can call out on this phone number. But it is an app and it can’t be use through Siri. if she has Internet access, maybe look into a different cell phone provider like mint mobile for $15 a month. Or some other cell phone carrier.

Hi list, denise lesko has an Iphone but she can’t call out on it. She has a phone number and can facetime but if you call her number no such thing.Who ever got her the iPhone has set her up with something called stratetalk from Walmart. They didn’t set the phone up right for her.Since she has apparently a limited minutes, should she enable wifi calling?I’m aware that she can’t make 911 calls unless she assigns a numberbecause wifi calling transmits not a phone number but data packets to a dispatcher. Will she be able to make calls with wifi and will she be able to receive calls from any of us using the regular cell service. Also what else should she do if she does enable wifi calling?Am not sure how to get her hooked up with TTJ she’s at her day program during the sessions.
