If I remember correctly it will work with any wifi hotspot. Native seamless switching between voip and tower depending on signal quality. Also you can use Apple's face time audio only as a voip from any hotspot world wide at no charge.  I'm dead now so my recall is a little rusty.

All the more reason to own an iPhone and internet with telus.

Possibly, although Telus does not service this area with internet, yet...

I have all unnecessary aps turned off, and have not installed any additional aps.  My phone is just for phoning and basic internet browsing...

I have an Android cell phone, which is basically Google.  I also have no cell coverage where I live, and instead route my cell through my router via WiFi.



Phones don't like to work this way (if my phone dies, I actually have to drive to an area with tower coverage to 'restart' its ability to work via router and WiFi).



One of the latest updates has now caused this:  My phone actually turned off the Wifi on its own, and also turned on location broadcasting on its own.  I'll assume it was trying to pin up to a tower, but it cannot, since I don't have cell service here.



In the last two days, this thing is now relentless in it wanting to know my location.  It's auto-switching multiple settings on its own that it shouldn't be!  There is no tower here, and it's set on WiFi calling when so, but it's going crazy trying to find a tower to get my location is all I can figure...

The more app you have, the more you get spied on. I only have a few apps downloaded. Google maps is the only one I use regularly.
