Thanks for responding - Yes, I'm on Cricket, an AT&T MVNO. Wi-fi calling is 
their response, and it works relatively well.

I had an AT&T femtocell when I was using a work-provided AT&T iphone, and it 
worked well, but you lost the call when you traveled out of the range of 
Wifi. Now, with 5G and wi-fi calling, I can take a call in my house and have 
it switch to 5G/LTE when I walk out the door.

Since I've switched teams at work, the one I'm on now prefers to use Teams 
calling, which is nice. I can have a separate number for my internal 
customers and not rely on cell service for work comms.
