What is Wi-Fi calling?
Wi-Fi calling is a feature available on some smartphones which allows you to text and call over a Wi-Fi connection, rather than relying on your mobile signal. It's is a particularly helpful feature when you are in an area with poor coverage.
This is a free benefit with Asda mobile.
