As he reported channel 24, when testing the service, modern models of Samsung and Xiaomi smartphones are supported. The full list of devices supported by the service is listed on the operator’s website.

Why it is necessary?

The service will be useful to anyone living in areas with an unstable network signal, but good home Internet. The new option will also be beneficial for residents who have communication problems in their apartments. So you no longer have to go to the window or balcony to call your friends or family – it’s enough to have Wi-Fi at home.

Or, for example, you went to a cafe located in the basement where the connection was poor or not at all. But the cafe has Wi-Fi. Then you just need to connect to the network and stay connected thanks to the Wi-Fi Calling service. How to activate, we will tell you more.

Requirements for making calls over Wi-Fi

First of all, you need to make sure that your phone supports it in order to use the VoWiFi Calling service.

The following conditions are also required:

• Availability of USIM card (SIM card supporting LTE 4G technology);
• good Wi-Fi coverage;
• activation of the corresponding Wi-Fi Calling function on the smartphone.

How much does the service cost?

VoWiFi service is free. That is, the subscriber can use it within the framework of the tariff plan.

Meanwhile, if you go out of Wi-Fi coverage during a call but stay within network coverage, the call will not be interrupted.

The launch of the technology will take place gradually.
