Airtel Wi-Fi Calling Now Available in 10 Circles

Bharti Airtel managed to beat Reliance Jio by launching VoWi-Fi service ahead of the Mukesh Ambani-owned telco. While Jio has launched its VoWi-Fi service in just three circles, Airtel Wi-Fi Calling is available in ten circles now. The circles in question are Delhi NCR, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, UP(West), Maharashtra, Mumbai and Kolkata. On the flip side, Reliance Jio is offering VoWi-Fi service in Kerala, Maharashtra and Kolkata circles only. The company is testing the service in other circles as well like Delhi, Mumbai, among others.

Bharti Airtel says the Wi-Fi Calling service works only with Airtel Broadband. However, we have noticed the service available on other broadband operators like ACT Fibernet, Spectra and more. Even the service is working with local Internet Service Providers (ISP). Airtel website still notes that the service will be available to the users with Airtel Broadband, so an official confirmation regarding the service availability on other ISPs is awaited. Jio’s VoWi-Fi service works with any broadband operator, which is a good thing.
