Apple\u2019s latest iOS 8.3 update, which made its public debut on Wednesday\u00a0alongside OS X 10.10.3, enables Wi-Fi calling on compatible iPhones connected to EE in the U.K.<\/p>\n
While traditional voice calls are no longer the \u201cin\u201d thing, plenty of us still use them to connect with friends, family, and colleagues on a daily basis. Those who are subscribed to EE will now find that voice calls are even better on their iPhone.<\/p>\n

If they\u2019re connected to a Wi-Fi network and they have a compatible iPhone, that is.<\/p>\n
Thanks to iOS 8.3 \u2014 which also adds tons of new emoji and additional languages for Siri \u2014 Wi-Fi calling is now supported on Britain\u2019s biggest network. But users must enable it manually before they can use it.<\/p>\n
To do that, simply open up the Settings app, then find the \u201cWi-Fi Calls\u201d option inside the \u201cPhone\u201d menu. Please note, however, that Wi-Fi calling is only supported on the iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus, so older devices won\u2019t have this option.<\/p>\n
Wi-Fi calling first came to the iPhone back in September with the release of iOS 8, but until now, it was only available to users on T-Mobile in the U.S. In addition to EE, iOS 8.3\u00a0also enables the feature for Sprint users.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s good to see that Wi-Fi calling on the iPhone is expanding its reach, even if it is only to two more carriers.<\/p>\n
