Although Simyo is still one of the operators that resists making the leap to the fifth generation of mobile networks, the lack of 5G is being filled little by little with the arrival of other alternative services and functions. A few weeks ago the possibility of sharing gigabytes was added and over the next month two of the functions most requested by its customers will arrive.
Specifically, it will be VoLTE or VoWiFi calls that will be a possibility for Simyo customers who want to enjoy greater clarity in their calls and other advantages offered by these alternative ways of receiving or making phone calls on your mobile.
VoLTE arrives at Simyo
VoLTE, or Voice over LTE (Voice over Long-Term Evolution), is a technology that allows mobile operators to transmit voice calls over the LTE network, instead of the 2G or 3G network. This means calls are made over a high-speed broadband network, resulting in better audio quality and a faster connection.
With VoLTE, calls connect almost instantly and the sound quality is much clearer and crisper, offering a more satisfying calling experience, in high definition and avoiding background noise. Another advantage it has is that faster call establishment when you are browsing or starting navigation after a call also allows faster data transmission when you are on a call.
Furthermore, it also allows users to make calls while browsing the internet without interruption, which means they will not miss important calls while using data applications. For example: using WhatsApp while you are on a call, talking on the phone while using Waze or Google maps while driving, sharing or adding video during a call, etc.
VoWiFi also available
At the same time that Simyo has developed VoLTE, they have also done so with VoWiFi, so two of the innovations most in demand by this operator’s customers will arrive at the same time, at the end of November for both contract and prepaid customers. .
This technology allows you to use the WiFi network to which you are connected and make and receive calls through this network. This service further improves mobile voice coverage within the home. In addition, less battery is also consumed than if the mobile phone is connected to traditional antennas during calls. If the wireless network fails and WiFi is disconnected or disabled, the customer calling with VoWiFi will automatically switch to VoLTE without the call being dropped (and vice versa).
To use both services you will only need a mobile phone compatible with these services, which are the vast majority of those that have been put on sale in recent years. Beyond that, a SIM card compatible with 4G and WiFi or 4G coverage depending on the option you want to use. In some models, VoLTE or VoWiFi calling must be activated from the Settings or Configuration menu.
These two new features are part of Simyo’s commitment to its customers and are free to use with no activation cost. The cost of calls through VoLTE or VoWiFi has the usual pricing that you have in your rate. If the customer has a bonus for minutes or unlimited calls, it will be included in their rate, like a normal call, and if they do not have any bonus, it will be billed at the standard price, just like normal calls.
