State-owned telecom company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched a new Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) service in India. This service allows users to make calls over Wi-Fi networks, even if the mobile signal in their area is weak or nonexistent. With this new feature, BSNL is directly competing with private telecom companies like Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea, which have been offering Wi-Fi calling to their customers for years.

How does VoWiFi work?

BSNL's VoWiFi service allows users to make clear and strong calls even in low-signal or indoor areas. This feature is extremely useful for those living in low-network zones or indoors.

To use this feature, you need:

A VoWiFi-supported smartphone (available on modern Android and iPhone models)

A stable Wi-Fi network (such as home broadband)

The latest software update

How to use the BSNL VoWiFi service?

Insert a BSNL SIM card into your phone.
