      It’s miles away from my home so that’s got to be it but cellular is turned off. I guess it doesn’t do anything unless it’s in airplane mode…?

        Well the cellular network has voice over LTE or voice over NR, whether the data side is turned on or not. So unless it’s an airplane mode with Wi-Fi turned on and you go out of range of the Wi-Fi, it should just switch it from the Wi-Fi over to the cellular network.

    I think you will find that VoLTE is neither wifi nor data. It’s a LTE voice connection. A VoWifi will fallback to it.

    Probably just swapping over to the cell network to continue the call.

    While VoLTE is using data, it’s not part of the normal data service your phone uses for the internet, so turning off data likely doesn’t affect it.
