Voice over Wi-Fi now on your Nokia smartphone
08 February, 2020
HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today announced that voice over any Wi-Fi (Vo Wi-Fi) is being enabled on a range of Nokia smartphones for Jio and Airtel users.
Jio users on Nokia 9 PureView, Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 8.1, Nokia 7.2, Nokia 7.1, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6.2, Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 6.1 will be able to use Vo Wi-Fi.
Airtel users on Nokia 9 PureView, Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 8.1, Nokia 7.1, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 6.1 will be able to use Vo Wi-Fi.
The Wi-Fi calling feature will let users make calls directly from their smartphone to any other mobile or landline via a Wi-Fi network and without the use any third-party app. Moreover, as users move from Wi-Fi into a non-Wi-Fi location, the call is seamlessly moved to their telecom network. This is great news especially for users who face network coverage and quality issues indoors. Moreover, users on the above Nokia smartphones can also make Vo-Wi-Fi calls to a person who doesn’t have the feature enabled on their phone.
Check with your operator (Jio or Airtel) to know the charges to make Vo-Wi-Fi locally, while roaming and internationally.
