HYDERABAD: Just after Airtel rolled out WiFi Calling, its competitor Reliance Jio has announced that its users will now be able to enjoy voice and video calls over Wi-Fi networks all over India and the feature will support 150 handset models, without any additional cost.

Jio in a statement said that the key differentiators that come with Jio Wi-Fi Calling are that customers can use any Wi-Fi network for Jio Wi-Fi-calling and the voice and video calls will seamlessly switch-over between VoLTE and Wi-Fi to provide an enhanced voice/video-calling experience.

How do you enable it?

On the launch of this service, Jio Director Akash Ambani said: "At Jio, we are constantly innovating to enhance customer experience or solve their problems. At this juncture, when an average Jio consumer uses over 900 minutes of voice calls every month, and at a growing base of consumers, the launch of Jio Wi-Fi Calling will further enhance every Jio consumer's voice-calling experience, which is already a benchmark for the industry with India''s-first all VoLTE network."

To enable Jio Wi-Fi Calling, a step-by-step guide has been made available on Jio.com/wificalling and Jio Wi-Fi Calling will be enabled pan-India between January 7 and 16, 2020, the company statement added.
