If you haven’t received a notification on your AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge yet, go to Settings->About phone->Software update->Check for updates. Since it isn’t a software update, the OTA file should be a smaller size and should take a few minutes to install. You should ensure that the battery is charged more than 80 percent before you install the latest firmware update.AT&T Wi-Fi calling

What is AT&T Wi-Fi Calling feature?

Wi-Fi calling technology basically allows you to make phone calls even on poor cellular connectivity. AT&T switches over to your local Wi-Fi network to enhance the connection quality of the phone call. This feature ensures that your calls do not drop or disconnect even in places where AT&T’s cellular signal is less than stellar.If you're on a family plan or have limited calling minutes per month, Wi-Fi Calling is a great addition for you. The minutes you spend using AT&T Wi-Fi calling on your Galaxy S7 device do not count against the cap on your phone plan. You can make unlimited Wi-Fi calls with your phone number and you won’t get charged a cent for it.Are you among the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge users who have been patiently waiting for AT&T Wi-Fi calling?
