My apologies...this is the WRONG setting to turn on Wi-Fi calling. Under SETTINGS go to PHONE and under the CALLS section you will see Wi-Fi calling if you have an iPhone 5c or new. Turn it on.

As far as Wi-Fi assist, which in incorrectly pointed out above, I would recommend not turning on this feature. Basically, if your Wi-Fi signal is weak, this allows your device to switch over to cellular data. This could result in some surprises in the usage of your data allowance.

I use the ATT MicroCell at my home and never have a problem. Always a strong signal.

this is going to be a problem for us because we just got the PAL emergency system, and it is causing problems with our Brighthouse home phone lines. so we were thinking of going with the option of the cell phone unit, but the cell phone company is AT&T. Guess we'll just have to try it out.

I have Verizon, I live in Sanibel. I have TERRIBLE cell phone calls in my house, especially my computer room. Calls drop all the time.

I bought my used ATT Microcell on eBay and it works great. Very easy to connect. I did a search this morning on eBay and they have several listed with current bids from $19.00 to around $45.00. My ATT iPhone stays on five bars constantly with the Microcell and I've never had a problem with calls at all. Well worth the expense!

I live in Sanibel BTW, south of 466A.

There is no reason to buy a Microcell because AT&T will probably give you one for free. Mine was free (south of 466a)

The AT&T Microcell is a great way to go. When the Pennecamp/Buttonwood/Tamarind Grove/St James area was new, we had terrible AT&T service on this part of town. We were told a new tower was coming, but in the interim, the POA arranged for AT&T to provide Microcells at no cost. They worked pretty flawlessly. I have heard that if you contact AT&T you can still get them at no or low cost (and can always sell them on eBay after AT&T adds more towers in the south.)
