Most of Us faces the issue of Low Network or Network congestion, Call Drops, especially in Basement or Closed areas where Network Strength is nill or very poor and because of that we miss lots of calls and not able to call someone.
For this we have a solution now in INDIA, called Wi-Fi Calling or Vo-WiFi or Voice over WiFi.

I'll try my best to explain WiFi Calling and if you still have any questions make sure to comment down below, will try answer your questions.

What is Vo-WiFi?
WiFi calling isn't a new feature, it's there in different part of world already and finally Operators in India (Airtel ans Jio) have launched this service.
WiFi calling uses a Broadband or WiFi connection to make calls or recieve calls over WiFi connected to your Device rather than using your Mobile Network.

WOW, hold on, wait a second.

Our Samsung B.A with extraordinary technical knowledge failed to mention one of the very basic thing for VoWifi to work and I'm surprised that no one bothered to question him/her for posting a sponsored dumb post.

For VoWii to work you need a supported phone + some signal strength of supported carrier + supported wifi connection.
So even you have a supported phone and your ph is connected to supported wifi but the moment your phone loses connection to mobile tower it simply doesn't work.

So VoWifi helps in situation where there is poor signal but not those places where phone gets frequently disconnected from cell tower due to poor signal.

Shame on Samsung, releasing buggy software where phones are crashing randomly, apps are crashing after android 10 update and they are promoting dumb post.

Samsung focus on what you really need to focus or users will force you to get lost like other brands.

buggy software?and phones crashing i have many samsung smartphones from j7 s8 s8+ s9+ s10lite s10+ s7 edge even m30 m20,one of my friend also has the note 10+......none of them are crashing and neither did i find any bugs in the software....and for apps crashing it isnt necessarily a problem with samsungs software....poor app construction also can cause that
