Sorry what is vowifi supposed to be for? I tried to Google, it says using wifi to make voice calls? It means free not deducting the call minutes???

Something like skype or home digital tel. But your phone and telco must support the feature.

VoLTE actually is to reduce the Mobile phone base station network load and pass your mobile phone call to your house WIFI network.

- This is helpful if you are having poor 3/4G coverage. This allow incoming and outgoing call via your WIFI network.

So VoLTE only worked in a WIFI environment? ...

He probably mistype.

VoLTE = voice over lte
VoWiFi = voice over wifi

Just curious over the volte and vowifi. If say I am indoors where I can have both data and wifi, wifi speed vs giga data speed aside. Is there any significant difference between the two? And how I know if vowifi is activated on my phone???
I have tried turning off my data on my Giga sim, turned on wifi. Connected on wifi, I still see the volte icon on my Poco F1 lor...

If i understand correctly, this should be worked in this way:

1. VoLTE - call and data work concurrently, and yet give a clear calling experience

2. VoWiFi - when telco signal is not reachable, you are still able to make/receive a land call if there is a wifi connection. However, the call (minute) will be deducted from your call quota allocated.

sorry i was sleeping i delete my post to avoid confusing. i was type last reply when someone called me about wifi issue at office.


VoLTE - Stay on 4G while making phone call.

So the device dun need to switch between 3G and 4G therefore

- Faster call connection
- Don't slow down your data while on phone call. (like people called you and u try to check something on your phone)

I see what it means now. I think this will be useful for those very ulu location companies especially. So this VoWiFi maybe still not that much applicable in my case.

But thanks for explanation, good to know more.

I have 2 exact phone and setting with 2 different Giga number. But only one is showing the volte even though both is enabled

 

[LegendEast]

Yup...my giga line received VoLTE support early this morning (using Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro)

 

[sp0rky]

FK yes! Volte!!!!!!!! It's a freaking thing I wanted for so long. Now people call me my gaming won't disconnect

 

[a4973]

So it's just volte only? No vowifi? Thanks

Seems like VoWIFI enable. I can now call out via WIFI.

Enable WIFI call on iOS

Test Call on WIFI (phone airplane) U see Starhub Wi-FI

Outgoing call made via VoWIFI is deducted from your bundle airtime. (incoming is free) Make total 3 outgoing test call from my 500mins bundle airtime

Sad... still nothing on my Pixel 4a
No even on my S10e ( sd855 )

 

[Allanlee82]

tested volte working on my oneplus 7 pro

Now that Giga has volte, i think one less complain from the customer liao. Actually I switched from SH to Giga knowing it will be crippled without volte, but i am fine with the lower subscription price and more data as compared to the SH plan i had. Now Giga has volte too, I think i am a happy customer already.
Though I doubt I will sign up a 2nd line with Giga for work, because it makes more sense to have a different telco/mvno in case one fails.

Now waiting for call forwarding on giga

what do you mean call forwarding? This should be able to set on most mobile phone?

 

[alchemist_acid]
