Airtel launches VoLTE services in Gujarat

NEW DELHI: India's top telecom operator Bharti Airtel said that it has launched its Voice over LTE (VoLTE) services across Gujarat.

The company's  VoLTE, which works over 4G, will offer customers HD quality voice calls along with faster call set up time.

Airtel VoLTE will be available on popular 4G/LTE enabled mobile devices, which must have a Airtel 4G SIM. Customers can call any mobile, landline network using Airtel VoLTE. There will be no additional data charges for VoLTE and calls will be billed as per existing plan or packs benefits.

What truly differentiates Airtel VoLTE is the seamless connectivity enabled by Airtel’s wide 4G network coverage. Even in the case of non-availability of 4G, Airtel VoLTE calls will automatically fall back on 3G/2G network to ensure that customers continue to stay connected at all times.

Airtel VoLTE will also allow customers to continue with their data sessions at 4G speeds while the call is in progress.

Murthy Chaganti, Chief Executive Officer – Gujarat, Bharti Airtel said, “It is our constant endeavor to offer world-class services to our customers with an aim to enhance their mobile experience. In line with this, we are delighted to launch our VoLTE services across the State enabling customers to enjoy superior quality voice calls. In conjunction with our robust 4G network in Gujarat, VoLTE will enable customers to make the most of their mobile devices and experience advanced technologies.”

Airtel’s 4G services were made live in Gujarat in October 2016 enabling customers to enjoy internet capabilities on superfast data speeds on their mobile devices. Airtel VOLTE is already LIVE in the states of Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
