USING MYWIFI

 Start MyWiFi Caller and tap the switch to Enable calls over WiFi (it is on by default, as in the image shown).

 A small circle with a tick will appear on the notification bar at the very top of your phone screen (this reverts to a small circle with a cross if no WIFI is available).

 Now, whenever you go to make a call, the call will be made over 3G/4G (the standard mobile phone network) if available, and over WIFI if not.

 So if you are in an area with a poor signal but can connect to WiFi, you will still be able to make calls.

 If you turn off Enable calls over WiFi, by tapping on the switch shown, you will not be able to make calls using MyWiFi Caller and must rely on your mobile phone signal instead.

MAKING A CALL

When no 3G/4G mobile network is available and you tap on the standard Phone App icon, the MyWiFi dialpad will be displayed. It looks and behaves very similarly to the standard Phone App call keypad.

 During the call you may use Mute, access the keypad, use Speaker or Add another caller.

 To end the call, tap the read end-call icon as usual.

RECEIVING A CALL

When a call is received via MyWiFi, the screen is similar to that for your standard incoming call. Just answer the call as normal.
