Just a bit of a refresher, the service uses Wi-fi to allow voice calls and essentially retain the clarity and fidelity of a telecom network. This may, in turn, lead to different patterns of phone usage as it virtually costs almost nothing to use the internet as a phone service. The company is working with smartphone brands across the country to make sure their devices are compatible with the service. As of now, Airtel Wi-Fi calling is compatible with Airtel Xstream Fiber home broadband but will soon be able to function with all other broadband services and Wi-Fo hotspots.
