How can I save battery for "No cell coverage" without using Airplane mode on iPhone?

I live in some apartment which is not covered with cellular networks, so i had to use airplane mode to reduce battery consuming while i'm not connected to cellular network.

But recently, my cellular carrier enabled wi-fi calling feature, however i need to disable airplane mode to use it.

So, my question is, How could i reduce battery consuming for "No cell coverage" without airplane mode to be on??

That is not true.

You absolutely can make Wi-Fi calls with Airplane Mode turned on — as long as you manually enable Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Calling.

How to make Wi-Fi calls in Airplane Mode:

Turn on Airplane Mode – this disables all wireless connections.
Manually turn on Wi-Fi – just tap the Wi-Fi icon again in Control Center or go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
Ensure Wi-Fi Calling is enabled:
1. Go to Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling and toggle it ON.
2. It may ask you to confirm your emergency address (for 911 services in some countries).
Now, when you're connected to a Wi-Fi network, your iPhone will route calls over Wi-Fi — even though the cellular radio is off.

Thanks SravanKrA,

I know what you're trying to explain but unfortunately, it's some limitation in my country for all carriers.

that's why i need to check any other possible way to reduce consumed power for no cell coverage.
