India is in lockdown for more than three weeks now. The further extension of lockdown means that people need to be connected to the world through their phones for a little longer now. In certain areas though, the network has become a sort of an issue, and that is why Wi-Fi Calling is available in selected devices to sort connectivity problems. Wi-Fi Calling is the easiest way of connecting to someone for a high-quality conversation. If you have a stable Wi-Fi with good speed, you are going to love the experience of it. At the start of 2020, Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio introduced their Wi-Fi Calling service. It is essentially Voice over Wi-Fi service which only Airtel and Jio are providing right now.
What is Wi-Fi Calling and How Does It Work?
Wi-Fi Calling or VoWi-Fi means calling some other person who is connected to a Wi-Fi network like you. You won’t be calling with your SIM, but your Wi-Fi. So how does it work? You simply connect to your Wi-Fi network and ensure that the person whom you are calling is connected to it as well. If you face any delay in sound, that is a common thing in Wi-Fi Calling, but you don’t have to worry until the time the voice is clear. But not all the devices work with or support Wi-Fi Calling, which is why mentioned below is a list of smartphones which support Wi-Fi Calling. Check it out.
