The battle between Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel is back on track again, but this time, both the telcos are going against each other in the VoWi-Fi service rollout department. Just a couple of weeks ago, Bharti Airtel became the first telco in India to offer VoWi-Fi service to the customers and Reliance Jio very soon followed it. While Reliance Jio its yet to make an official announcement regarding the rollout VoWi-Fi service, we have some information to share. According to our sources, Reliance Jio has rolled out VoWi-Fi service to all the users in three telecom circles- Kerala, Maharashtra and Kolkata. In contrast, Airtel announced VoWi-Fi or Wi-Fi Calling service in Delhi NCR, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Mumbai and Kolkata circles. As for the compatible devices, Jio VoWi-Fi is said to work on any VoWi-Fi enabled device, but we don’ t have the entire list right now.

Jio VoWi-Fi Goes Live in 3 Circles and it Works on Any ISP
Reliance Jio entered the Indian market by introducing VoLTE or Voice over LTE technology to the Indian consumers. However, when it comes to VoWi-Fi department, the company fell short by a small margin as Airtel managed to launch its Wi-Fi Calling service commercially. As mentioned above, Reliance Jio still didn’t make an official announcement regarding the launch of VoWi-Fi in the country, but several Jio customers are noticing the availability of Jio Wi-Fi on their smartphones.
Reliance Jio has started offering VoWi-Fi service in three telecom circles- Kerala, Maharashtra and Kolkata, and the best part is the service works on any broadband operator. For instance, Airtel Wi-Fi Calling initically required Airtel Broadband to work, however, it now works on any ISP, as we reported yesterday.
