Place Phone Calls over Wi-Fi (iOS 8)

iOS 8 allows you to configure your iPhone in such a way that you can make calls over a Wi-Fi network. When your iPhone is configured accordingly, you are not required to pay the call charges that you make using your phone, and only the Internet charges become applicable.

To use this, you'll want to be connected to a strong Wi-Fi network with enough bandwidth to handle a voice call. If you can, though, it's likely cheaper than using your minutes.

Assuming that you have your home Internet set up and that your phone is already connected to your Wi-Fi network, here is how to make a voice call over Wi-Fi with iOS 8.

    ■Switch on your iOS 8 device by pressing the Sleep/Wake button.
    ■Slide your finger to the right on the screen (screen with the slide to unlock text) to unlock the device.
