We all must have experienced instances where you’re indoors, maybe in a parking area, and your mobile signal drops to one bar or vanishes. Making a simple phone call becomes a challenge. That’s where WiFi calling comes in. It’s a feature that more people are starting to use, and if you’re a Vi customer, it might be exactly what you need to stay connected without using your mobile recharge.
What Exactly Is WiFi Calling?
Wi-Fi calling lets your phone make regular voice calls over a Wi-Fi connection instead of your mobile network. It’s built into your phone’s dialer, so there’s no need to open an app or do anything differently. You just make a call like you normally would, only your phone uses Wi-Fi if your mobile signal is weak.
It’s useful indoors or in areas where mobile coverage is not available. The best part? If the Wi-Fi drops during a call, your phone can switch over to the mobile network without cutting you off in between calls.
Perks of Using WiFi Calling
WiFi calling is a lifesaver in low-signal areas. If you’re stuck in a spot where mobile networks struggle, like inside your home, office, or even while travelling, WiFi calling can step in and keep the conversation going.
Here’s how it helps:
- No more dropped calls indoors.
- Clearer voice quality, especially in HD.
- Saves mobile minutes, especially if you’re on a limited plan.
- No extra charges.
How to Turn on Wi-Fi Calling For Android Users on Vi
Turning on Wi-Fi calling only takes a couple of minutes. Here’s what you need to do:
- Make sure your phone supports Wifi Calling
Before you set up Wi-Fi calling, make sure your phone supports it. Not all phones have this feature, and it can depend on the model and software version. - Update your software
If you haven’t updated your phone in a while, do that first. Wi-Fi calling often comes with newer system updates. - Switch it on in your settings
Go to your Phone app. Tap the three dots in the top right and go to Settings. Find Wi-Fi Calling under “Calls” or “SIM settings” and turn it on. While you’re at it, make sure VoLTE is also enabled. - Connect to Wi-Fi
Once everything’s turned on and your phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, it’ll automatically use that for calls when needed.
What to Do If WiFi Calling Is Not Working?
Try restarting your phone. Check that you’re connected to a stable Wi-Fi network and that both Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE are enabled. If it’s still not working, Vi’s customer support can help sort it out.
Conclusion:
If you’re tired of walking around your house trying to find that one magical signal spot, Wi-Fi calling might just be the fix you need. It takes five minutes to set up, and once it’s on, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.
And with Vi’s WiFi calling feature, you’re just a few taps away from better call quality and fewer dropped connections, all without spending an extra rupee. Moreover, you can explore Vi’s prepaid or postpaid options; you can easily do an online recharge through their app or website. If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s a good time to give it a shot.
