People calling you will still be able to call you normally. WiFi Calling requires a compatible device and a reliable connection to work properly. Calls made and received over WiFi Calling are treated like they are made and received in the US. Make sure your device is compatible with T-Mobile’s WiFi Calling implementation, make sure that your E911 address is setup on your account, and make sure WiFi Calling is enabled on your account.

First, what plan are you on? If you are on a prepaid plan, it is unlikely you’ll be able to receive calls, and if you can, it will be very expensive.
If you are on a postpaid plan, see what

A word about WiFi Calling. Incoming calls are free. Outgoing calls are charged as if they were dialed from the USA. So, in my case, if I were to make a WiFi Call to India (from the US or from India) it would cost an outrageous $3/min. If I turn off WiFi in India and make a cellular call to an Indian number it’s 25¢/min. Calls to US numbers over WiFi are also charged as if dialed from the US (e.g. free)
India is a place where I’d want to be really well aware of the details and have a backup plan.
