How Airtel Wi-Fi Calling is revolutionising telecom in India
Haven’t we all struggled with erratic mobile network inside offices or houses in crowded neighbourhoods? Either the quality of connectivity is not the best or a lot is lost in transmission. Worry no more - Airtel launched its revolutionary Airtel Wi-Fi calling feature in December to users across India (except J&K) for uninterrupted and superior indoor calling. Airtel was the first telecom operator to bring the tech to India and has already crossed a userbase of 3 million in just two months. The telco aims to reach 10 million users by the end of the year!
The technology can be accessed over any home or public Wi-Fi network, which means no matter where you are, if you have a working Wi-Fi connection, you can make or receive a call without a hassle. In addition, it allows users to make HD calls to any network without any extra charges. Unlike WhatsApp Call, you make the call through your default dialer itself because you don’t have to download any third-party app to use this feature.
This technology has truly transformed the indoor network quality for Airtel mobile customers, especially those who live in high-population density areas in urban markets.
