But this place is usually a little more reliable.
T Mobile is now offering wi-fi calling. Actually, I know it has existed for a while, but I have not focused on it. But my question is, if I am in a remote area where I do not have cell coverage, such as when I went to visit my dad in Tennessee, will I be able to receive telephone calls if I am on a WiFi network there? In addition to just making them?
I receive little to no benefit from it otherwise, as I have unlimited plans for calling, data, etc. with no throttling But that would be a big benefit to me if I could pull over or use a hotel's wifi and make *and receive* telephone calls almost like I had cell phone coverage. Is this what it does? Even without cell phone coverage? Sorry for the ignorant questions.
But while I am engaging in ignorant questions, I will ask one more. I assume that traveling down the interstate I would never be able to obtain wifi coverage from any real source, would I? In other words, even if this wifi calling helps me at the hotel or at a local store, restaurant, etc. in terms of making telephone calls, it will not help me traveling down a roadway that does not have cell phone towers on it. Is that accurate?
