How to enable or disable Wi-Fi calling on BlackBerry Priv

BlackBerry's new Android powered smartphone Priv supports Wi-Fi calling, which means you can make and receive calls over Wi-Fi networks in case you have limited or no mobile network coverage. But while the phone supports this feature, to make it work you need to ensure that your network service provider supports the feature too.

Enable Wi-Fi calling on BlackBerry Priv

• Swipe down from top of the screen, either once using two fingers or twice using one finger
• Tap Settings>> More>> Wi-Fi calling
• Turn on Wi-Fi calling switch
• Turn on the Wi-Fi calling status to check when your device will make calls
• Tap Wi-Fi calling preferences>> Connection preferences

1. To use a Wi-Fi network when you have a cellular signal, tap Wi-Fi preferred
2. If you don't want to use a cellular network and only use Wi-Fi network, tap Wi-Fi only
3. To use a Wi-Fi network for calls when you don't have a cellular signal, tap Cellular network preferred

To make a call, do the following:

• Ensure Wi-Fi calling icon is at the top of your device
• In the Phone app, tap dial pad icon
• Enter number you want to make a call to
• Tap call button

Another key feature of the Priv is voice over LTE. With the voice over LTE feature enabled, you can use the phone to make calls with high definition audio quality and fast connections over an LTE network.

Turn on voice over LTE

• Swipe down from the top of the screen
• Tap the Settings icon>> More >> Cellular networks>> IMS settings
• Turn on IMS switch

From there you can turn on Voice Over LTE switch to take advantage of the voice over LTE service.
