Challenges of 5G network and calling
Internet speeds have improved significantly with the advent of 5G networks, but many users are not able to take full advantage of it during calls. It is often seen that as soon as the call starts, the phone’s network changes from 5G to 4G. This not only affects the internet speed but also reduces the call quality. If you are also facing this issue, then it is necessary to activate the VoNR setting in your phone. This feature provides the facility to run both calls and internet simultaneously on 5G network.
What is VoNR and why is it needed?
VoNR stands for Voice over New Radio. This is a new technology for making calls through 5G network. Previously, when you made a call, the phone would switch from 5G to 4G network as the call was over 4G or LTE. But after activating VoNR, calls go directly to the 5G network.
Benefits of VoNR
This provides three major benefits:
– Call quality becomes more clear and HD.
– Call connection time is reduced.
– 5G internet speed is available even during calls.
This means you can watch videos, download files or browse during a call without any speed loss.
Reason for 5G disappearing during calls
When VoNR is off, the phone switches to the 4G network during calls. This means that the internet also moves to 4G. This is the reason why the speed reduces during calls or sometimes the internet does not work. Turning on VoNR eliminates this problem and your phone remains continuously connected to the 5G network.
How to activate VoNR in Android phone?
If you are using an Android smartphone, follow these steps:
1. Open your phone’s Settings.
2. Go to Connections or Network & Internet.
3. Select SIM Card & Mobile Network.
4. Select 5G SIM.
5. Select 5G (Auto) in Preferred Network Type.
6. Scroll down and turn on the VoNR option.
7. Restart the phone once.
After the restart, the 5G network will remain in place during the call.
How to turn on VoNR in iPhone?
The process is slightly different for iPhone users:
1. Open Settings.
2. Tap on Mobile Service.
3. Select the Voice & Data option.
4. Select 5G Auto or 5G On.
5. Turn on the VoNR / 5G Standalone option shown below.
Now your iPhone will also work on 5G during calls.
Main benefits of VoNR
Turning on VoNR gives you many amazing benefits:
– HD voice quality.
– Fast call connection.
– 5G internet even during calls.
– Better indoor connectivity.
– Less network switching.
– Low impact on battery.
This feature is especially beneficial for users who use the Internet during calls.
Things to consider before using VoNR
Some important points to keep in mind to take advantage of VoNR:
– Your phone should have 5G support.
– 5G network should be available in your area.
– Must have active recharge on SIM.
– Currently this feature is mainly available for Jio and Airtel users.
– The phone’s software should be updated.
If you are using a 5G phone and the network drops to 4G during a call, immediately turn on the VoNR setting. With this you will get pure 5G experience and along with calling, the internet will also remain fast. This small change can completely change your smartphone experience.
