## What is Switch to Carrier Network

The **Switch to Carrier Network** feature makes sure your calls stay connected, even if your Wi-Fi or data signal drops.\
When a VoIP call fails, CloudTalk automatically reconnects it through your mobile carrier (GSM), so you can continue the conversation without redialing.

It’s a simple way to reduce dropped calls and make your calling experience more reliable.

## Why use Switch to Carrier Network

If you’re often on the move or working somewhere with unstable Wi-Fi or mobile data, dropped calls can be frustrating. **Switch to Carrier Network** helps prevent that by automatically keeping your calls connected through your mobile carrier whenever the internet signal gets weak.

This feature gives you:

* A reliable backup when a VoIP transfer fails

* Consistent performance even with poor Wi-Fi or LTE

* Smooth, uninterrupted conversations for agents working remotely or on the go

It’s an easy way to make sure your calls stay stable and your customers stay connected.

## How to enable it

You can turn on the feature directly from the **CloudTalk Mobile App**.

1. Open the app and tap your **Profile icon** in the bottom menu.

2. Select **Calling** from the Settings list.

3. Under **Link carrier network**, tap to add your mobile number.\
   You can use your own mobile number or another one where you’d like to receive fallback calls.

5. Once linked, you’ll see your mobile number displayed under **Link carrier network** with a green checkmark.

Your number is now connected. When your VoIP call fails, CloudTalk will automatically switch to your carrier network using this mobile number.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Note:** Once the call switches to your carrier network, it continues as a regular cellular call.\
> CloudTalk features like call recording, tagging, and analytics are not available during this part of the call, since it happens outside the app via your mobile carrier.

## How to use Switch to Carrier Network during a call

Once you’ve linked your mobile number, you can switch to your carrier network directly during a live call.

### From the call screen

If CloudTalk detects an unstable connection, a banner will appear at the top of your screen saying **"Unstable connection"** with a **Switch to carrier** button.

* Tap **Switch to carrier** to continue the call through your mobile network.

* The call will instantly reconnect via GSM using your linked mobile number.
