your phone. A plan isn't.

Here's why — and what VoIP-PAL alleges is standing in the way.

THE NUMBERS

WHEN YOU CALL OVER WI-FI

Tower cost

≈ $0

PATENT PORTFOLIO

Issued patents on Wi-Fi
communications technology

YEARS SINCE FIRST PATENT FILED

20+

Wi-Fi calling still not
broadly available to consumers.

THE TECHNOLOGY

Your phone already does this.

Wi-Fi calling technology is already inside every modern smartphone. When your cellular signal is weak, your device quietly shifts calls to your Wi-Fi network. Carriers already track this — look at your monthly bill. Every call is labeled: Wi-Fi or cellular. The infrastructure is there. The option to rely on it exclusively is not available to consumers.

WHAT YOUR BILL ACTUALLY SHOWS

The charges don't reflect
how the calls were made.

THE BARRIER

Two mechanisms. One outcome.

🔒 THE LOCK

OS-level permissions — controlled by Apple and Google — determine which services receive full system-level telephony access: the native dialer, background call receiving, and emergency services. VoIP-PAL alleges independent Wi-Fi calling providers are not granted equivalent access through the same pathway.

🔑 THE KEY

Carrier-issued network credentials that activate native telephony functions. VoIP-PAL alleges that equivalent authorization is not available to independent Wi-Fi calling providers through the same pathway — conditioning full telephony access on the purchase of a carrier subscription bundle.

Together, VoIP-PAL alleges these two mechanisms condition access to full native telephony on the purchase of a carrier subscription bundle — the basis of the antitrust and class action claims.

THE ECONOMICS

Three carriers. $500B+ in combined gross profits.
No incentive to change.
