Calls over wifi??

[aquarelle]

Hi!! 

I’m a nurse and I work in Nunavik. (1 month in montreal, then 1 month in Nunavik). However, there is no cellular data available in the North which makes me unable to receive texts/calls on my number. I was told by multiple people to turn on some setting like "call over wifi" (not sure exactly) but I cannot find any setting that seems similar to that on my device. 

I have no idea if it’s relevant but my phone is an iphone 11 and is updated to iOS 18. 

Thanks!!

if you have a robust wifi signal where you work, consider downloading  WhatApp. You'll be able to keep in voice and message contact with others using that app too.

@aquarelle  Not with public mobile no unfortunately, but you get try text now app or fongo and get a number thru them for free to make calls  and text over wifi
