VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling/Messaging with Konec
What is VoLTE?
Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) is the next step in voice calling technology for mobiles. It allows you to make calls over parts of Telstra’s 4G network. Before VoLTE all of your calls were made over the older 3G network.
Both VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling/messaging are available on all Konec Mobile services so you can enjoy the next generation of voice calling and messaging for mobiles.
Why VoLTE?
Crystal clear calls
VoLTE gives clearer calls and reduced background noise so callers sound like they are right next to you.
Quicker connections
VoLTE supports quicker call connection. The time between tapping to call and being connected is super fast.
More multitasking
VoLTE enables simultaneous calls and high speed 4G data connections so you can take a call and Google something at the same time.
What is Wi-Fi calling and messaging?
Wi-Fi calling (sometimes referred to as VoWi-Fi or Voice over Wi-Fi) will allow you to make voice calls over a compatible Wi-Fi connection.
Wi-Fi messaging (sometimes referred to as SMSoIP and MMSoIP ) will allow you to send text and picture messages over a compatible Wi-Fi connection.
If you are connected to a compatible Wi-Fi connection and Wi-Fi calling and messaging is enabled on your handset, your voice calls and messages will connect over Wi-Fi by default.
Why Wi-Fi calling and messaging?
Wi-Fi calling and messaging is super convenient when you want to:
- Extend coverage indoors
- Call and message Australia from overseas without incurring international roaming charges
- Make calls and send messages if there’s a network outage or if you are in an area without mobile coverage.
