iPhone users on Sprint will be able to make Wi-Fi calls using their phone number. Over the next week, a software update will be rolling out to owners of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, as well as iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.
Sprint is enabling the feature as a way to augment coverage, particularly in situations where a traditional cellular signal cannot reach, like basements or densely built areas. This affords Sprint customers to maintain connectivity with the carrier’s services.
In addition to that feature being free (Wi-Fi usage does not count against minutes or data limits), iPhone customers on Sprint will also be able to bring Wi-Fi calling with them internationally, with free calls to the United States from more than 200 countries.
