Never Miss a Call Again: How Wi-Fi Calling + PureLink Mobile Keep You Connected

If you’ve ever walked around your house looking for that one corner with mobile signal, you’re not alone. Whether you live rurally, work in a large building, or just deal with patchy reception, dropped calls can be frustrating.

The good news? There’s an easy fix—and you might already have everything you need.

Wi-Fi Calling lets you make and receive calls over your home or office internet connection instead of relying on mobile towers. And with PureLink Mobile, it’s all part of the package.

Here’s how it works, why it matters, and how to get started.

What Is Wi-Fi Calling?

Wi-Fi Calling is a built-in feature on most modern smartphones that lets you use your internet connection to:

• Make and receive calls
• Send and receive texts
• Stay connected even in low signal areas

If your mobile coverage is weak but your internet is solid, Wi-Fi Calling picks up the slack—seamlessly and automatically.

There’s no separate app or new number. It works straight from your dial pad.

Why It’s a Game-Changer (Especially in Rural NZ)

For many Kiwis in rural or remote areas, mobile reception can be inconsistent. But if you’ve got reliable home internet (and we can help with that too), you can still enjoy clear, uninterrupted calling—right from your mobile.

Wi-Fi Calling also helps in:

• Homes with poor indoor coverage
• Thick-walled buildings or steel sheds
• Basements or garages where signal drops out
• Office setups with patchy reception

It’s ideal for sharemilkers, tradies, remote workers, and anyone tired of “Can you hear me now?”

Does My Phone Support Wi-Fi Calling?

Most smartphones do—including recent models from Apple, Samsung, and other Android manufacturers.

To check:

1. Go to your phone’s Settings
2. Search for “Wi-Fi Calling”
3. Toggle it ON (you may need to enable it through your carrier settings first)

Once enabled, your phone will automatically switch to Wi-Fi Calling whenever signal is low but Wi-Fi is strong.
