Wi-Fi calling offers improved call quality but relies on stable networks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Wi-Fi calling, also known as VoWiFi, offers a way to make and receive calls and texts over a Wi-Fi connection instead of a cellular network. This feature can improve call quality and enable communication in areas with weak or no cellular signal, such as inside buildings with construction materials that block signals. However, the quality of Wi-Fi calling is directly dependent on the strength and stability of the Wi-Fi network, and congestion can lead to choppy audio or dropped calls. While it's designed to seamlessly switch to cellular networks when Wi-Fi is lost, this handover is not always perfect and requires VoLTE to be enabled. AI
