What is WiFi Calling?
In a nutshell, Wi-Fi calling is calling over a Wi-Fi network through the internet instead of over a regular cellular network. This can come in super handy in several situations like when you visit an outer area on the outskirts of a cellular network or when you work in a building or in the basement and you have touchy cell service. Now, this is assuming that both the outer area and the basement have Wi-Fi coverage.
Before I get too far I want to clear up what I’m referring to as Wi-Fi calling. There area unit loads of apps on the market like Skype, Viber, WhatsApp or a Facebook courier that enable you to put calls or send messages over Wi-Fi. Now I’m excluding these because you have to use a separate app to send the messages or replace the call and it won’t handoff to a cellular network if you walk outside of the Wi-Fi range.

What I’m referring to as Wi-Fi calling is built into the phone natively so you don’t have to do anything separate or different than you would normally place a call to get Wi-Fi calling to work for you. You’ll air a cellular carrier that supports the Wi-Fi line of work and you may need to be employing a device that works with the Wi-Fi line of work presently.
WiFi Calling on Jio and Airtel
If you use Jio or Airtel Prepaid/Postpaid connection then you can enjoy this feature of “WiFi Calling on Jio and Airtel”. Airtel has announced the feature of WiFi calling for its user in the first week of December 2019 becoming the first telecom company in India to do so.
Jio has also jumped into the race of WiFi Calling. Jio has announced that the feature is rolling out this week and it will be completed by January 16.
Though Airtel was the first to announce this feature in India but Jio is much better because it rolling out the feature in different cities and regions. Also Jio supports more devices than Airtel.
If you don’t see your carrier listed, check with them to see if they support Wi-Fi calling. You’ll also need to be using a device that supports Wi-Fi calling. Many smartphones today works with Wi-Fi calling but again it just depends on the carrier.
