I did a quick usertesting.com session with 8 participants and was able to get some key takeaways
on how I could improve the calling experience.

I realized I was concerning the user with functions they shouldn't need to worry about. By removing any option to switch between carrier and wifi on call, users could focus on the task at hand with a "set it and forget it" mentality that lives within settings.
