U Mobile Sdn Bhd has activated WiFi Calling for iPhone owners, allowing users who are connected to a WiFi network to make and receive calls even when network coverage is poor.

Unlike FaceTime or FaceTime Audio, which can also work over a WiFi or cellular network but is limited to calls between iPhone users, WiFi Calling allows for calls from an iPhone to any phone even if the phone on the other end is not on a WiFi network.
