iOS 8 Wi-Fi Calling is a very interesting function that the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he did not speak at all during the presentation made for iOS 8, the function to be officially available from autumn for iPhone. iOS 8 WiFi Callingor Wi-Fi calls, will allow us to make phone calls or send SMS messages through a WiFi internet connection using our phone number, as if we were connected to the mobile network.
With WiFi calling, users can make and receive calls as well as send messages through a WiFi connection rather than using their voice or data plan. That allows users to avoid unnecessary service charges and cut bill costs, extends coverage to areas without traditional network coverage, and also allows users to use their regular phone number.
The idea behind this service is to allow us to benefit from the possibility of making phone calls or sending messages without consuming our minutes/SMS from our subscriptions, and if we talk about roaming costs, well.. things are and better. Everything works only with the "permission" of mobile phone operators, in the US two of the most important already implementing the function.
Basically when you have no signal, but you have a WiFi connection nearby, you will be able to make phone calls and send messages with your phone number as if the network is available. Unfortunately, it is hard to say if such functionality will be implemented in Romania, but I am sure that many of you will be waiting for it with great impatience.
