A day after users reported about Jio VoWiFi service icon in various parts of the country, Reliance on Wednesday officially announced the introduction of the WiFi-based audio and vido calling service.
The service works on any WiFi network, a key differentiator from competitor Airtel. Jio claims that both voice and video calls can seamlessly switch between VoLTE and WiFi.
Currently, the service works on over 160 handsets.
There are no charges for the service.
“At Jio, we are constantly innovating to enhance customer experience or solve their problems. At this juncture, when an average Jio consumer uses over 900 minutes of voice calls every month, and at a growing base of consumers, the launch of Jio Wi-Fi Calling will further enhance every Jio consumer’s voice-calling
experience, which is already a benchmark for the industry with India’s-first all VoLTE network,” said Akash Ambani, Director, Jio at the launch.
The WiFi calling service will be available in the entire country by January 16, the company stated.
You can enable Jio Wi-Fi Calling by following the steps listed on Jio.com/wificalling.
