What is Wi-Fi calling?
VoWiFi or Voice-over-WiFi basically allows telecom operators to make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi connection. This will come in handy for users who live in areas that have poor cellular reception. As of now, the service is available only on Reliance Jio and Airtel in India.
In order to enable Wi-Fi calling on your smartphone, head over to Settings > Dual SIM & Mobile Network and here yous should see the Wi-Fi calling option. Enable the toggle to allow the phone to use Wi-Fi to make calls when possible.
