You can use PSU’s extensive Wi-Fi infrastructure to make calls and send messages from your cell phone without relying on a carrier signal through a service called Wi-Fi Calling.
All four major US carriers provide Wi-Fi Calling with most phone models. To check if your carrier supports your cell phone model, or if any fees apply, visit your carrier’s website:
When you enable Wi-Fi Calling, we recommend that you connect to the PSU Secure network so you will be automatically re-connected whenever you enter campus. To enable Wi-Fi Calling on Android and iOS phones, follow the steps below.
Enable Wi-Fi Calling on Android
To enable Wi-Fi Calling on your phone, follow these steps:
Open the Phone app.
Select More > Settings.
Select Calls.
Select Wi-Fi calling. If this option is unavailable, it’s because your carrier doesn’t support this feature.

PSU faculty and staff can request Wi-Fi coverage within classrooms or offices where Wi-Fi is not set up or is too weak to support Wi-Fi Calling. To request Wi-Fi coverage, contact your Telecom coordinator.
