Before you can make calls over Wi-Fi, you'll need to turn on the feature in your settings.
Important: Some of these steps only work on Android 6.0 and up. Learn how to check your Android version.

Settings.Make a call using Wi-Fi
Once you’ve set up Wi-Fi calling, you can make a call over Wi-Fi just as you would any other call. When you’re connected to the Internet, you’ll see 'Internet call' or 'Wi-Fi calling' on the notification screen.
When you're not connected to Wi-Fi, your calls will use your mobile operator, if you have one.
