Wi-Fi Calling

Customers also have the option to connect their phone to the millions of hotspots throughout Latin America, Europe, South America and Japan, and use Wi-Fi Calling to enjoy free calls from over 200 countries back to the U.S. Wi-Fi Calling is available at no additional charge when calling a U.S., U.S. Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico phone number3. Wi-Fi Calling is available on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s and select Android (News - Alert) devices. This is superior to AT&T and Verizon who don't offer Wi-Fi calling on the iPhone and their customers who travel internationally still have to worry about getting charged for every gigabyte of data, every text and every phone call.

Additional International Offers

Sprint offers voice and data coverage to additional countries around the world with affordable international data packs and Sprint Worldwide Voice. Visit www.sprint.com/international for more information on countries and rates.
