Orange has launched testing of VoWiFi in France. The goal is to allow to pass standard telephone calls from a traditional Wi-Fi network. One of our readers sent us screenshots explaining how the system
Orange allows some of its customers to test the features that will be available a few months or years later. In February, Orange announced the arrival of VoLTE in Romania. VoLTE helps make phone calls from the 4G network, which increases the audio quality, shorten the linking time with the caller, switch to video conferencing during the call, but also navigate 4G during the phone call. Currently, when calling phones are switched to 3G and 4G repass at the end of the call.
The VoWiFi test at Orange
Currently, VoLTE is test at Orange, and in recent days, it seems that it is the turn of the VoWiFi to be tested by labExplorers , the customer beta testers of new products and features. The VoWiFi ( voice over Wi-Fi for voice over Wi-Fi) continues its classic phone calls not from a cellular network, but from a Wi-Fi network. Practice when a client lives in a house where cellular reception is poor, unlike its home WiFi network. Practice also to make calls from abroad without paying roaming charges if functionality walking outside France.
The VoWiFi on a Galaxy S6
A our readers sent us more screenshots explaining how the loan VoWiFi mobile, Samsung Galaxy S6. The “Wi-Fi Calling” then made his appearance in the phone settings . This controls whether the calls are made primarily from the Wi-Fi or the cellular network. During a call on VoWiFi, a special icon appears in the status bar. The same icon also appears when dialing. On the screenshots you can see the calls to and from abroad are not supported by the SIM card test. Is it a restriction of VoWiFi? It will take the formalization of functionality by Orange to be sure.
