Reliance Jio and Airtel rolled out Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) calling service in India earlier this month. The Wi-Fi calling service is supported on multiple smartphones from different brands. The latest to add support for VoWiFi in India is Nokia which has up to nine compatible phones.

VoWiFi or Wi-Fi calling essentially uses Wi-Fi connectivity to make voice calls. This service switches between cellular network and Wi-Fi depending on the availability. In India, Jio and Airtel offer Wi-Fi calling but both services have some differences. Airtel's Wi-Fi calling is limited to only the telco's broadband service. Whereas Jio lets users connect to any Wi-Fi network to make voice and video calls.
