minus-squaresomereaduser ( somereaduser@reddthat.com ) linkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoCan you expand on that? That’s a really interesting conclusion and I’d be interested in hearing how that would work. Personally I use that setup and am quite disappointed to hear that using wifi calling isn’t the best idea. May I should just have wifi calling off the entire time, but I would appreciate an explanation so I can plan on how to tailor my phone usage next. Thanks

Wi-Fi calling still gives your carrier your IP address and location so they can route the call, so it’s not totally private. Getting around that usually means running a pretty stripped-down setup (no SIM, full VPN, etc.), which gets pretty inconvenient.
