Hello everyone, this is Anik and today, I am going to explain VoWiFi.<DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>Q: What is VoWiFi?</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>A: The full form of VoWiFi is <I style="font-weight: bold;">Voice Over Wireless Fidelity </I>or <I style="font-weight: bold;">Voice Over WiFi. </I>It is also known as WiFi calling.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>We all use sim cards in our phones. Many of us also use WiFi at home. Imagine a situation where there is no network to make calls. No other phone is available at the moment. Don't panic! VoWiFi has the solution, if you have a stable WiFi connection. Connect to your WiFi and place a call.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>Now, its not that hard, but there are several questions which people ask. Let us have a look at those.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>Q: How does VoWiFi work?</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>A: VoWiFi connects your device with WiFi and your call connects using the internet. It works similar to VoIP (<I style="font-weight: bold;">Voice Over Internet Protocol), </I>VoIP connects you to a mobile network from voice over the internet and VoWiFi connects your call using the internet instead of cell towers. That was how VoWiFi works.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>Q: Okay, okay, I understood how it works but what are the advantages and disadvantages of VoWiFi?</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>A: The advantages of VoWiFi are,</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>1. It works anywhere, on any WiFi. If you have a stable WiFi connection, you can easily place a WiFi call.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>2. Most of the telecom providers provide the feature of VoWiFi.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>3. Calls will use High Definition (HD) audio calling system to make clear voice calls.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>4. It does not matter whether the other person is having VoWiFi support in his or her device or not.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>B. The disadvantages of VoWiFi are,</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>1. You must have an ongoing plan to place a WiFi call.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>2. Your talktime (IUC) minutes will reduce in a similar manner of what happens when you place a normal call.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>3. You cannot make international calls using WiFi calling.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>Q: Sounds interesting! But do I have WiFi calling (VoWiFi) in my device? And if I have, HOW DO I ENABLE IT?</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>A: Samsung is one of the first companies to bring VoWifi first in India, like back in 2017-2018. Now in 2020, all smartphones by Samsung have this feature inbuilt in devices.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>Talking about how to enable it, swipe down from the top of your screen twice, or once, until you see WiFi Calling. Turn it on, connect to a WiFi and you are good to go. Place a call and you will see a WiFi calling sign beside network indicators.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="image"><img src="https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/772131i08BCCA73FB777C10/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="image" alt="image" /></span></DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV></DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>Q: Which telecom operators support VoWiFi?</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>A:&nbsp; Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio.</DIV><DIV><BR /></DIV><DIV>So, this is it.
