BSNL Launches Nationwide Voice over WiFi Services
BSNL, a big phone company in India, has started a new service called Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi).
This service lets people make and receive calls using Wi-Fi instead of regular mobile signals.
It's free and works well in places where mobile signals are weak, like homes, offices, or remote areas.
You can use your regular phone number and don't need any special apps.
Just turn on Wi-Fi Calling in your phone settings.
This service is available all over India and is especially helpful in rural and remote areas.
It also helps reduce crowding on the mobile network.
If you have any questions, you can visit a BSNL customer service centre or call their helpline.
BSNL has launched Voice over WiFi (VoWiFi) services nationwide, available to all customers across every telecom circle.
VoWiFi enables free voice calls and messages over Wi-Fi networks, beneficial in areas with weak mobile signals like rural and remote locations.
The service supports seamless handovers between Wi-Fi and mobile networks and uses the customer’s existing mobile number and phone dialer.
VoWiFi is supported on most modern smartphones and can be enabled by turning on Wi-Fi Calling in the phone settings.
BSNL's VoWiFi launch is part of its network modernization program to improve connectivity, especially in underserved areas.
