FP explanatory Apr 22, 2022 15:56:14 ISTIn recent years we have seen the quality of cellular networks go downhill.As a result, we should have seen calls drop frequently and in most cases voice call quality is erratic at best.This is where WiFi calling comes into play.To put it very simply, instead of using LTE or 4G data to amplify the signals that voice calls work, WiFi calling is a system where your phone uses the WiFi networks around it.The way it works is to transmit the same cellular data packets as Wi-Fi VoIP over a Wi-Fi connection and over the internet.As a result, we get a much better and more sustainable connection, which greatly improves the quality of the connection.What is WiFi Calling and how does it work?WiFi calling is a feature that allows users to make and receive calls and SMS over a WiFi network rather than your carrier's network.Basically, your phone sends packets of voice data over WiFi and then over the internet to the person on the other end of the call.Your device must support WiFi calling, which usually applies to most devices made after 2017.Does it consume more power and data?WiFi calling is actually much more energy efficient overall.Individually, you spend 4-5 MB for a 5 minute call.Power consumption is usually lower than normal calling, especially if you are in an area with poor telecom coverage.Additionally, cellular data is dependent on base stations, which can be much more expensive to set up and maintain.WiFi calls are transmitted over telecom internet cables, so very little energy is wasted.How much does WiFi calling cost?WiFi calling costs you nothing.It is a free service and users do not need to pay anything extra to use it.All they have to do is make sure their device supports the feature and their service provider has it enabled on their side.What Are the Benefits of WiFi Calling?WiFi calls have several advantages.First, the call quality is significantly better in most cases.Second, it is very effective in densely populated areas where cellular coverage may be poor, such as high-rise apartments.Third, you don't have to pay extra to get better quality service.Finally, if you only use WiFi calls and avoid cellular calls, you can get more screen time on your mobile.There are a few downsides to using WiFi calling to keep in mind.The connection may be a little slower, but once connected the signal strength is off the charts.Currently, service providers do not allow users to make international calls using WiFi Calling.Even in sparsely populated areas, WiFi calling does not work well.How do I enable WiFi Calling?Actually you don't need to do anything to enable WiFi calling, your service provider will enable it as long as your device supports the feature.How can I check if my service provider has enabled WiFi Calling?If you're using an Android phone, go to Settings > Mobile Networks or Connections > Wi-Fi and then check if Wi-Fi calls are visible.Or if you are connected to WiFi and making calls, you should be able to see the WiFi icon on the dialer screen.If you're using an iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Cellular Data > Wi-Fi Calling.The option appears only if your carrier supports Wi-Fi calling.Proudly powered by WordPress |Theme: Newses by Themeansar.
