Following the controversy surrounding VoLTE, it is now time for Android and iOS devices to implement VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi, often known as WiFi Calling). VoLTE was expected to usher in a new era of transparent communication, but it was derailed by poor LTE reception inside of buildings and the absence of 4G in rural areas. WiFi calling, however, eliminates the need for LTE and the issue of high signal reception. Clear audio communication is possible even with a poor WiFi signal if you are linked to a network. The nice part is that VoWiFi works on 2G, 3G, and 4G networks as well. Therefore, use our article to learn how to make WiFi Calling available on Android and iOS devices. Find out more from Airtel and Jio about available VoWiFi and device support.
