VoLTE/VoWIFI is strongly deployed to serve the 2G and 3G network shutdown in the coming years. In this article, Thuthuatphanmem shows you how to enable VoLTE/VoWIFI on iOS and Android phones for better call quality.
1. 2G, 3G wave service is about to “out of date”
In Vietnam, the frequency system is overloaded and carriers are forced to turn off old network waves to serve the deployment of new network waves such as 4G and 5G. In this case, the carriers chose to turn off 2G and 3G waves because they are relatively outdated and no longer effective. Specifically, network operator Vinaphone pioneered to turn off 2G, Viettel turned off 3G in some areas to expand the deployment of brand new 4G and 5G networks with high speed. As expected, in 2023 all carriers will simultaneously turn off all 2G/3G waves.
When 2G and 3G networks are turned off, numeric keypad phones (brick phones) will not be able to receive calls. In addition, smartphones also have problems with intermittent, unclear calls due to mobile signal deviation, poor quality and inhomogeneity. To solve the above problem, you need to enable VoLTE (calling over 4G) and VoWIFI (calling over Wifi) so that you do not get “smacked” when the 2G/3G signal is turned off.
2. Advantages of VoLTE and VoWIFI
VoLTE / VoWIFI is the trend of the mobile wave technology industry, they bring great experiences during calls. The outstanding features of VoLTE/VoWIFI technology are as follows:
