What is Wi-Fi Calling – VoWi-Fi?
And the first question you might be asking is What is Wifi Calling. Wi-Fi Calling was technically known as “VOICE OVER WIFI – VoWi-Fi” is a path-breaking technology that allows customers to make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network using their mobile numbers. Here Instead of calls going over the cellular network, they go over your broadband network so you can make your calls using WIFI Networks instead of Cellular networks. Interesting right!!!! Here I share your full information about VoWifi Setup and VoWifi Supported Networks, VoWifi, or Wifi Calling Supported Devices.
Advantages of Wi-Fi Calling and VoWi-Fi
Now let’s see some advantages of Wifi Calling. And the biggest advantage of Vo-Wifi is that you can make calls without getting disconnected or interrupted in places with low and weak cellular signals like in remote areas or cellular-dark zones of a building. I’m pretty sure there might be some places or areas where you could find have very low signals maybe just one or two signal bars in your handsets. Due to weak signals more frequent calls used to get disconnected and the call quality was also low and bad.
But now you can use your broadband connection to let your calls go over wifi and because of this, the calls will be crystal clear and relatively very fast also.
VoWifi Or Wifi Calling What Supported Networks
As of now, Wifi Calling is Supported by Only JIO and Airtel Networks and the VoWifi is working fine with these networks. Right now, the Airtel Wi-Fi Calling feature is enabled across India except in Jammu and Kashmir. While the Jio Wi-Fi Calling Feature is available across all over India.
