How can I enable Wi-Fi Calling (VoWiFi)?

    Using Wi-Fi Calling (VoWiFi) on your Xperia smartphone

    Wi-Fi Calling (also known as VoWiFi) is a telephony service provided by your network operator that lets you make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi® connection instead of a mobile network.

    • Important: Features and menu names can vary by operator and software version. Contact your network operator to confirm Wi-Fi Calling support for your Xperia™ model and subscription.
