    • Cellular network preferred allows you to use your cellular network for calls, and automatically switch you to WiFi calling when there's no cellular service.
    • Never use cellular network will disable your cellular network, and only use WiFi calling. This way, you'll always need to be connected to WiFi to make a call.
