GP introduces Wi-Fi calling

Grameenphone has recently launched Wi-Fi Calling, introducing Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) technology to its mobile network.

According to a press release, the service allows Grameenphone users on Voice over LTE-enabled connections to make and receive calls over supported Wi-Fi networks using compatible smartphones. The feature is intended to deliver clearer and more stable voice calls, particularly in areas where mobile network coverage may be limited.

To enable the service, Grameenphone is working with several internet service providers, including BracNet, Carnival Internet, Chittagong Online Limited and MiME-Internet. Calls made using Wi-Fi Calling do not require any additional applications, functioning through the phone's native calling interface, states the press release.
