Wi-Fi calling is very convenient as it allows mobile subscribers to receive call-in places where there are no network bars. In addition, it is very fast and reliable in terms of connections. Unlike other almost similar services such as skype, Wi-Fi calling allows a user to use their existing phone number.

Airtel also went further to assure users whose phones are not compatible with the service. They are working with a number of cell phone companies to ensure that their service is available to more smartphones. So in case, you are thinking, your cell phone will not be able to allow you to access the Voice over Wi-Fi calling service, you need not worry for too long. The huge brains are in the works of building a more reliable and universal mode of sharing the service.
