While it wasn't brought out during the WWDC keynote, a screenshot from the Moscone Center that was captured today, reveals that Wi-Fi calling is indeed a part of iOS 8. Since it wasn't brought up during Monday afternoon's activities, how it would be implemented is still unknown. Right now, Sprint and T-Mobile both offer calls and texts over a Wi-Fi connection.
The advantage to using Wi-Fi calling is that domestic calls and texts made and received while connected to Wi-Fi, will not count toward your monthly voice minutes or text cap. Starting today, registered developers will have access to iOS 8, and everyone else will be able to install it this fall.
