This innovative service is part of our continuous digital journey and commitment to empowering our society. With JazzFi, experience high-definition voice calls, enhanced call quality, simultaneous voice and data usage, and much more!

What is VoWiFi/WiFi Calling?

VoWiFi/WiFi Calling (voice over WiFi) is an added feature of VoLTE that allows users to make voice and video calls or SMSs over a WiFi network using the native mobile phone dial pad. This feature is especially beneficial whenever you are in low or no-mobile coverage areas, like indoors or in basements where mobile signal is weak and WiFi is available.

This functionality allows users to make or receive normal calls, SMS, and other value-added services using Wi-Fi while staying indoors. All you need is a smartphone with VoLTE and VoWiFi features supported to enable this feature.

Compatibility of VoWiFi/WiFi Calling

VoWiFi/WiFi Calling feature must be available in the settings of your existing VoLTE-enabled handset that can be activated through a toggled switch. Currently, WiFi Calling testing is successfully conducted for Samsung, OPPO, VIVO, and Digit handsets.

VoWiFi/WiFi Calling for Prepaid & Postpaid Users

VoWiFi/WiFi Calling works on both Prepaid & Postpaid. However, it is subject to the fact that the Mobile Handset has the required technical specification and a valid active Wi-Fi connection.

Charges for Using VoWiFi/WiFi Calling

Jazz doesn’t charge anything extra for making calls through VoWiFi. Customers who have subscribed to any specific bundle will be utilizing their available resources. Customers who are not subscribed to any bundle will be charged at the normal base rate per minute of use.

How to Avail VoWiFi/WiFi Calling?

VoWiFi/WiFi Calling can be used by subscribers who have the following:

  • A VoLTE and VoWiFi-supported handset
  • An active Jazz 4G SIM
  • A voice and text message bundle subscription in good standing or adequate balance

Availability of VoWiFi/WiFi Calling

VoWiFi/WiFi Calling is available all over Pakistan. For VoWiFi, you must be an active Jazz subscriber with any available WiFi connection.

Understanding VoWiFi/WiFi Calling Connection

You will know if you’re connected to VoWiFi/WiFi Calling if you see the VoWiFi icon beside your WiFi signal bar. If you wish to deactivate/disconnect from VoWiFi/WiFi Calling, you may simply turn off WiFi calling in your phone settings or disconnect from WiFi.

VoWiFi/WiFi Calling with Non-VoLTE or Non-VoWiFi Devices

You will still be able to use VoWiFi/WiFi Calling even if the called party is not VoLTE- or VoWiFi-capable.

VoWiFi Icon and VoLTE Service

If you are only seeing the VoWiFi icon, even if VoLTE service is also enabled in your handset, this means “Wi-Fi preferred” is selected in your Wi-Fi Calling settings. Your handset will automatically prioritize your Wi-Fi connection for calls and SMS transactions.

Troubleshooting VoWiFi/WiFi Calling

If you already have a VoWiFi/Wi-Fi Calling icon on your phone but still cannot call or send a text message using a Wi-Fi network, make sure that the Wi-Fi network that you are connected to has an excellent signal strength and the internet is working. Also, ensure that you have enough balance or active voice/SMS resources in the subscribed bundle.

VoWiFi/WiFi Calling and VoLTE Switch

Yes, VoWiFi/Wi-Fi Calling will still work even if the VoLTE switch is disabled on your handset. However, if VoLTE is disabled, your ongoing call will get disconnected if your handset has lost its Wi-Fi connection. For a seamless/uninterrupted call experience, please enable both Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE services.

Software Update for VoWiFi

VoWiFi will be included in your handset/device’s standard software updates. There is no ‘special’ update for VoWiFi.

Troubleshooting VoWiFi/WiFi Calling

If your handset/device cannot use VoWiFi/WiFi Calling, you may need to check the following:

  • Ensure your device supports VoWiFi/WiFi Calling
  • Check if your device has the latest software updates
  • Make sure you have an active Jazz 4G SIM and a stable WiFi connection

VoWiFi/WiFi Calling for International Roaming Customers

VoWiFi will not be available for customers who are on international roaming. The routing of all VoWiFi calls is done locally, and calls will remain within Pakistan.

In conclusion, JazzFi is a game-changer in the realm of communication, providing a seamless and high-quality calling experience. It’s time to step into the future with JazzFi!
