Airtel has stated the above-mentioned devices in a press statement, and the company is yet to update its website. With the help of VoLTE, Airtel users can enjoy HD voice calls because it uses data to make voice calls. Furthermore, there will be no additional data charges for VoLTE and calls will be billed as per existing plan or packs benefits.

Reliance Jio is offering VoLTE services on a pan-India basis and that too on an LTE-only network. When it comes to Airtel, it offers VoLTE on 4G LTE, and whenever there's no 4G coverage, Airtel VoLTE calls will automatically fall back on the 3G/2G network to ensure that customers continue to stay connected at all times.

Airtel VoLTE will also allow customers to continue with their data sessions at 4G speeds while the call is in progress.

Murthy Chaganti, Chief Executive Officer – Gujarat, Bharti Airtel said, “It is our constant endeavour to offer world-class services to our customers with an aim to enhance their mobile experience. In line with this, we are delighted to launch our VoLTE services across the State enabling customers to enjoy superior quality voice calls. In conjunction with our robust 4G network in Gujarat, VoLTE will enable customers to make the most of their mobile devices and experience advanced technologies.”
