You are at home and you do not get your network well? Are your calls jerky, preventing you from having an end-to-end conversation? Did you know there is a simple solution? Make your Wi-Fi phone calls! We explain how to proceed.

You've been walking around your living room on the phone with a friend for 30 minutes. A sudden urge to snack takes you, you head for the kitchen, when suddenly ... "Tuut tuut tuuut", the phone goes off! What a pleasure! And it always comes at the best moment of the conversation (otherwise it wouldn't be funny).

Find the smartphone of your dreams at SFR

Fortunately, there is a simple and very effective solution to overcome this problem: wifi calling! Indeed, you do not necessarily need the mobile network to communicate, especially when you are at home. Only three conditions are necessary to take advantage of wifi calls and SMS at SFR:

These three conditions met, you will be able to call, but also send messages and share content, without having to worry about connection problems. The option allows you to communicate without interruption, knowing that the wifi and the 4G or 5G network will each take over automatically if you are on the move. And this without you even realizing it!

On compatible Huawei brand smartphones, it's still a little different, but it's still very simple:

  1. Go to "Settings"
  2. Select "More"
  3. Select "WiFi Calling"
  4. Activate the slider and press "Activate"

Once your smartphone is connected to wifi, whether via your box or a hotspot, the service can work. Thus, you will be able to receive and make calls, or even send SMS without problem. Nothing changes except the connection mode. If you have followed the above steps correctly, your network will now automatically switch to 4G/5G or wifi, depending on the strength of your signal. This way, you can continue your calls without being afraid that it will cut off as soon as you go get something to snack on!
