Wifi calling

Jeeprs

Wanting to get rid of my house phone but doesn’t seem like public supports wifi calling? Any plans to enable this in future? We are in a remote area with no cell service - only way I can get service is right beside our cell phone booster which makes using a cell phone for calls at home impractical. Would love wifi calling but don’t want to leave public.mobile

Correct. But with a ZTE box or the Panasonic option both have battery back up and no need for wifi. The question  is….how long do batteries last. The only failure is if a tower went down.

Other options.  

A wifi option is to use voip.ms. All over wifi. 
I had my voip.ms ring my home phone set and my cell phone. Lots of programming options. 

Another option is use a ZTE box with a SIM card…..placed close to your booster. 


Another option is use a cell phone  with Bluetooth close to your booster with a Panasonic Link 2 cell phone set.

sorry @Jeeprs no Wifi calling with PM, and as a tier 3 provider, I doubt they will be bringing it in any time soon
