Azerbaijani operator Bakcell has introduced VoWiFi (Voice over Wi-Fi) calling service. Claimed to be the first in Azerbaijan, this service enables subscribers to make calls over Wi-Fi networks. The new service even allows users abroad to place calls worldwide at local Azerbaijani tariffs, provided they have an active Wi-Fi connection on their smartphones.
