Why is it, from what I read, that with Sprint's version, if you leave wifi
range and are on a call, they say it will be dropped instead of switching
over? I suppose the iPhone can't do it between Wifi calling and 3G that
voice likely falls back to.

Mary, turn it on and leave it on, it’s a great feature.
To answer your questions. WiFi calling will always be preferred when
enabled on an iPhone.
If you’re On the Wifi and on a call the call routes over your home or WiFi
network, over the internet to an aggregation point on your provider’s
network. If you walk outside or say drive off and you disconnect from your
WiFi you’ll seamlessly switch to your cell network and the call will be
carried most likely over VOLTE if you have that enabled. Some networks
allow you to switch from VOLTE back to Wifi and some wait for the call to
end and then switch.
Your iPad will either log in to your provider or sync through apple and your
home network and share the connection so you can place and answer calls on
either device using the Internet. FaceTime on a Mac will also work.
Hope that helps.

My new iPhone has the capability of doing Wi-Fi calling. It was not on by
default. When I turned it on, it seemed to allow me to also have my iPad
mini two, which is not a cell model, do this Wi-Fi calling. So I googled
around and wasn't really able to find out very much information. I
understand the purpose of Wi-Fi calling is to let you make phone calls
when your cell network is weak. However, if you have it enabled, and are
in an area with a strong cell signal, will you use your cellular network?
Or will you use your Wi-Fi network? This is, of course, assuming the Wi-Fi
network is also strong. And how would a Wi-Fi enabled iPad with no
cellular capability do wi-Fi calling? Or, if you do have Wi-Fi calling
enabled, and are out in the city and have no Wi-Fi available, will you
still be able to use your cell network without turning this feature off? I
am just not clear about whether it is a good idea to have it turned on all
the time, or just turn it on when you need it.
