Mobile network problems are still common in many parts of the country. In tall buildings, basements, rural areas or hilly areas, the phone signal often becomes weak, leading to problems like call drops and unclear voice. In such a situation, WiFi Calling is becoming increasingly popular as an effective and modern solution.
WiFi Calling is a technology that uses a WiFi internet connection instead of a traditional cellular network to make mobile calls. This means that even if your mobile does not have a network but WiFi is available, you can still make normal phone calls and receive calls.
According to technical experts, WiFi Calling works on the same mobile number which is linked to your SIM card. It does not require any separate app or new number. The call connects directly through the mobile network operator’s servers, but the transmission is via WiFi. This is the reason why call quality is sometimes better than normal calls.
The biggest benefit of WiFi Calling is seen in areas with weak networks. Especially inside homes, where the signal cannot reach due to walls, this facility proves to be very effective. Apart from this, WiFi calling can also be useful while traveling abroad, as it can avoid roaming charges, provided the operator’s conditions are met.
However, there are some necessary conditions to avail the benefits of WiFi Calling. First of all, your smartphone should support this feature. This feature is present in most of the new smartphones nowadays. Second, WiFi Calling service must be activated by your mobile operator. Major telecom operators of the country are providing this facility in selected plans.
Activating WiFi Calling is also quite easy. The user has to go to the settings of his phone and turn on the ‘WiFi Calling’ option. After this the phone automatically decides whether to make the call over WiFi or mobile network, depending on the availability of signal.
However, experts also recommend that a secure and stable internet connection be used for WiFi calling. It is important to be careful when making calls on public WiFi networks so that there is no data security risk.
