Staying connected is more important than ever in today’s digital-dependent world. However, in rural areas where traditional cell service can be spotty or unreliable, even something as simple as making a phone call can become a challenge. With MidSouth Fiber Internet, you can leverage the power of your fiber connection to make calls with ease. Whether catching up with loved ones or making phone calls for business, Wi-Fi calling ensures conversations stay clear and uninterrupted.

Wi-Fi calling is a feature that allows users to make phone calls using an internet connection rather than relying on a cellular network – eliminating unstable connections and dropped calls. MidSouth Fiber is ready to provide your home or business with fast and reliable internet to bridge the gap and provide a clearer, better calling experience.


Benefits of Wi-Fi calling

  • Better call quality: Dropped calls and poor audio are eliminated as Wi-Fi calling uses fiber internet to keep calls clear.
  • No extra fees: Wi-Fi calling is included by most major mobile carriers and works through your phone app.
  • Ideal for home or business: In places were cell service falls short, such as remote areas or low service buildings, Wi-Fi calling stays consistent.


Here’s how Wi-Fi calling works:

  1. Connection: Your phone connects to your home or business network.
  2. VoIP Technology: The call is converted into data packets using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology and sent over the internet, instead of a traditional voice network.
  3. Routing: The data packets travel to the receiver’s phone through the internet. Once they reach their destination, they are converted back into audio.


How to enable Wi-Fi calling:

  1. Access settings:
    1. For iPhones:
      1. Go to Settings > Cellular > Wi-Fi Calling
    2. For Androids:
      1. Open the Phone app
      2. Select More (3 dots) > Settings > Calls
  2. Enable Wi-Fi Calling: Toggle on “Wi-Fi Calling” to activate the feature. You may be prompted to enter emergency address details for location services.
  3. Test your connection: Once enabled, place a test call to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

With MidSouth Fiber, reliable phone conversations are no longer dependent on cell towers. Wi-Fi calling brings better communication to rural Texans. Explore the possibility of Wi-Fi calling using MidSouth Fiber Internet to stay connected with those who matter most!
