# excludeCellularServices

A Boolean value that indicates whether the system excludes all cellular services network traffic from the tunnel.

```
var excludeCellularServices: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

If this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the system excludes cellular services — such as Wi-Fi Calling, MMS, SMS, and Visual Voicemail — but only when the [`includeAllNetworks`](/documentation/NetworkExtension/NEVPNProtocol/includeAllNetworks) property is also <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>. This property doesn’t impact services that use the cellular network only — such as VoLTE — which the system automatically excludes. [`NETransparentProxyManager`](/documentation/NetworkExtension/NETransparentProxyManager) doesn’t support this property.

The default value for this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>.
