It was barely a month ago when we first heard rumors that Sprint might soon jump aboard the Wi-Fi calling trend, and that day has finally arrived - but only for owners of two less popular Samsung smartphones.
Sprint announced the launch of Wi-Fi Calling, a free service that allows subscribers to use existing wireless networks in place of the carrier's own.
Mega or mini
Unfortunately for Sprint customers, Wi-Fi Calling is getting off to something of a slow start, with only two smartphones compatible at launch - and both of those are from Samsung.
Owners of the Samsung Galaxy Mega and Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will be offered an over-the-air update "during the next few weeks" that enables the Wi-Fi Calling feature on their handsets.
After installation, the new feature can be activated by tapping the Wi-Fi Calling icon, which is located alongside other apps already installed on the device.
But there's hope for the rest of Sprint's customer base: The carrier plans to expand Wi-Fi Calling to "additional devices" throughout the year.
