Networking technology switching is unrelated to a call, which always uses cellular.
- throwahey 8y agoHis network probably allows Wi-Fi calling and text messaging. So it would be switching.
- thatfunkymunki 8y agomy cellular provider (T-Mobile) uses UMA/GAN to switch between wifi enabled cellular network access and cellular network access proper on the fly
- davrosthedalek 8y agoNot sure about republic, but many phones implement WiFi calling.
- Obi_Juan_Kenobi 8y agoRepublic specifically does this; it's their whole marketing gimmick. You pay a low amount for a modest data cap, but the phone seamlessly prioritizes WiFi networks when available. I've been using them for years and it works fine.
