People are just realising there’s a free lifesaving iPhone trick to make calls when you have no mobile signal

THERE’S nothing worse than being without mobile signal just as you need to make an important call.

But little do some iPhone owners realise, there’s actually a special trick which could save the day.

Apple has a feature called Wi-Fi Calling.

Whenever you’re without a signal from your network – or if it’s very low – the tool will kick-in.

It allows you to take or make calls over Wi-Fi instead.

The calls will still come out of your usual allowance.

How to switch on Wi-Fi Calling on iPhone

Your network provider has to support Wi-Fi Calling for it to work.

Most networks do allow it these days.

To turn on Wi-Fi Calling on your iPhone, start by going to the Settings.

Scroll down for Phone.

Then tap Wi-Fi Calling.

Switch on Wi-Fi Calling on This Phone.

Now you’re all set.

Next time you’re low on signal, a small phone icon will appear next to your signal bar.

This means your iPhone is currently using Wi-Fi for calls.
