Bharti Airtel is planning to launch VoWi-Fi or Voice over Wi-Fi service in India next month. With the VoWi-Fi service launch in December, Airtel will be the first operator in India to come up with the new voice calling technology beating Reliance Jio which was the first operator in the country to launch VoLTE service. Airtel is aiming to step up the indoor network coverage with the help of VoWi-Fi service.

How to use VoWi-Fi service

Firstly, users have to turn on VoWi-Fi from the call settings menu on their phones. This feature will be available under the name ‘Wi-Fi Calling’. Once this is turned on, Wi-Fi calling will be activated when there is low cellular connectivity or no reception at all. Similar to 4G VoLTE, VoWi-Fi calling will be activated whenever available and applicable. Do not that there has to be an active Wi-Fi connection for this service to work.

VoWi-Fi calling is similar to how WhatsApp, FaceTime and Messenger call work. VoWi-Fi calling would work the same way too but this service will be built-in and doesn’t require an additional app. There will be no additional charges either on making VoWi-Fi calls.
