In Consumer Cellular's network, Wifi Calling doesn't work unless you
also have a cell signal.

Consumer Cellular is a reseller of AT&T and T-Mobile, and it's cheap
but customer service leaves a lot to be desired. There's no signal in
downtown Tehachapi. A C.C. rep suggested Wifi Calling, which did not
work at all. It took me multiple calls to Customer Service before I
finally got someone who knew what they were talking about and
admitted that in their system Wifi calling wasn't _supposed_ to work
unless you had a cell signal.

When I asked what was the point of Wifi calling, since you could only
use it when it was unnecessary, they had no answer. In September I
switched to a Verizon MVNO, for only slightly more than I'd been
paying C.C.

Those were exactly the words that came to me, each time, when reading
your first two paragraphs. "What was the point of wifi calling...

Gotcha. For me, Mint Mobile was the happy middle ground between too
cheap and too much money. (But now their advertising a lot, looking to
get bigger.)
