Wolverine Village Residents: Stay Connected with WiFi Calling
Living in Wolverine Village? MWireless provides strong WiFi coverage throughout the building, but indoor cellular coverage may be limited at move-in while cellular carriers work to enable the U-M cellular system.
The good news is that WiFi Calling can help keep you connected. When WiFi Calling is enabled on a supported phone, you can make calls and send text messages over WiFi when cellular coverage is limited.
Connect to MWireless and Set Up WiFi Calling
For the best experience at Wolverine Village:
- Connect your phone to MWireless using MSetup. MSetup properly configures your device to use U-M’s secure WiFi network. (Guests of the university may connect to MGuest, rather than MSetup.)
- Enable WiFi Calling using the instructions for your cellular carrier below.
Once set up, your phone can automatically use WiFi Calling when needed.
Cellular coverage at Wolverine Village is expected to improve in stages beginning this fall, with additional improvements continuing into 2027.

About WiFi Calling
WiFi Calling allows supported phones to make calls and send text messages over WiFi when cellular coverage is limited or unavailable.
Once WiFi Calling is enabled, your phone can automatically use it when needed. Availability and setup requirements vary by carrier and device.
WiFi Calling and Emergency Services
During setup, you will be prompted to provide an address for 911 emergency call routing. This helps first responders locate you if you make an emergency call using WiFi Calling.
When you call 911, your phone will use the cellular network when possible. If a cellular network is unavailable, device location information from nearby WiFi networks may be used to help determine your location. If that information is unavailable, the address you provided when setting up WiFi Calling will be used.
