Keeping its promise of rolling out pan-India VoLTE coverage, Bharti Airtel today announced the launch of its VoLTE services across the rest of Maharashtra & Goa. This announcement comes right after the services commencement in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
For the unaware, Airtel first launched VoLTE services in Mumbai last month and promised that it would roll out the services across the country by March 2018. Currently, Reliance Jio is the only operator providing pan-India 4G VoLTE services. Airtel VoLTE works on 4G and offers HD quality voice calls along with much faster call set up time.
That said, you can use Airtel VoLTE services in only a 4G/LTE mobile, and that too only in popular phones, as of now. Also, customers must have an Airtel 4G SIM to enjoy the services. There will be no additional data charges for VoLTE and calls will be billed as per existing plan or packs benefits.
As said earlier, Airtel VoLTE is currently available only in popular 4G smartphones. Airtel has now updated its compatibility list with more smartphones. Check out the updated Airtel VoLTE smartphone compatibility list.
