Indian telecom operator Airtel has launched WiFi calling (Vo-WiFi) services in the national capital of New Delhi today, allowing Airtel subscribers to get access to high-quality calls while indoors using their WiFi networks. The service offers users high clarity indoor calls, faster call connections, and Airtel claims that it will also offer crystal clear audio quality in calls.

Right now, the service is only available when users are using a compatible handset with VoWiFi support, and are connected to Airtel Broadband or Airtel Xstream Fibre network.

List of Compatible Smartphones

Airtel has released a complete list of smartphones compatible with Airtel’s VoWiFi service:

If your smartphone supports VoWiFi calling, and you’re using Airtel’s Broadband, or Xstream Fibre network in your home, here is how you can enable Airtel WiFi calling on your smartphone right away.

Once you’re done, just restart your phone and you should see a VoWiFi symbol in the status bar of your device.

So, are you going to use Airtel’s new VoWiFi service on your smartphone? I would really like to, but I don’t use an Airtel broadband or Fibre connection at home. If you do, and you’re able to test the feature out, let me know how it works out for you in the comments.
