For those unaware, the VoWiFi feature lets users make calls over Wi-Fi, these are not internet data calls but regular ones. Notably, this feature does not require a separate app and can be used by any compatible smartphone; although it depends on whether the users’ telecom operator provides this service.
Airtel was the first to introduce this feature in December 2019 but was only available in the Delhi NCR region in India. However, the feature is now more widely available and includes numerous South Indian regions as well. Additionally, Jio is also launching the VoWiFi service nationwide and will support about 150 different smartphone models.
