How to enable Advanced Calling features on the Galaxy S7

UHD TV, 4K video, Blu-ray CDs. High def is where it's at, so why would you expect anything less when making phone calls?

Depending on your carrier, you can make calls over Wi-Fi, so that they're crystal clear and consistent whenever you're connected to Wi-Fi. In a basement with no reception but bountiful Wi-Fi? You're covered.
