Reliance Jio Rolls Out VoWiFi Services In Nashik And Delhi: Report

At this time when all are waiting for 5G deployment in India, telecom operators are coming up with different technologies like Voice over Wi-Fi, to retain their users. And now, it has been reported that Reliance Jio has also introduced Voice over Wi-Fi service in India. This development comes after Airtel launched its Voice over Wi-Fi service in some parts of the country.

It is worth mentioning that, there is no official information about Jio's VoWiFi services. But a Twitter user @jayesh_mutha87 announced through its account that Jio is offering VoWiFi service in the Nashik region. The tweet reads: "Jio VoWiFi Started. Here is proof. And its working flawless." This also means that Jio is offering this service in a few locations. However, TelecomTalk reported that Jio's VoWifi service is also available in the Delhi circle. But, at present, there is no official information about the launch and compatible smartphones.

On the other hand, Airtel has given a complete list of smartphones where users can access this service. The list includes Samsung J6, iPhone 6s series and above K20 Pro, Redmi K20, A10s, On6, M30s, POCO F1, and all OnePlus 7 models.

The company is also in talks with other handset makers for the deployment of this Airtel Wi-Fi calling. "There will be no extra charge for calls made over 'Airtel WiFi Calling' and the application consumes minimal data," Airtel earlier said in a statement. For the unaware, VoWiFi enables customers to make and receive calls over Wi-Fi networks. This service also offers good indoor coverage. And you don't need to download the extra application to use VoWiFi.
