THERE’S nothing worse than being without mobile signal just as you need to make an important call.
But little do some iPhone owners realise, there’s actually a special trick which could save the day.
Apple has a feature called Wi-Fi Calling.
Whenever you’re without a signal from your network – or if it’s very low – the tool will kick-in.
It allows you to take or make calls over Wi-Fi instead.
The calls will still come out of your usual allowance.
