AT&amp;T kicked off (http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/features/wifi-calling.html) Wi-Fi calling on newer-model iPhones running iOS 9 on Thursday after winning permission from the Federal Communications Commission two days earlier.</p><p>
Wi-Fi Calling helps users get better connections indoors where cellular service can be spotty. Where permitted by a carrier, it can also eliminate international calling costs of up to $1 a minute.</p><p>
T-Mobile and Sprint already offer Wi-Fi calls (http://www.computerworld.com/article/2490189/wireless-carriers/wi-fi-calling-coming-to-iphones-in-ios-8—with-t-mobile-s-support.html) on certain devices, and T-Mobile started the practice as early as 2007 without securing the same permission from the FCC that AT&amp;T received.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2990904/ios/att-kicks-off-wi-fi-calling-years-after-t-mobile.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
