Smart Communications Inc. said Monday it started rolling out commercially its voice-over-wifi (VoWifi) or Wi-Fi calling for its Smart Signature and Infinity customers.
Smart teamed up with device manufacturers in making more VoWiFi-capable handsets available, such as the Samsung S20 series, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Huawei Mate 10, Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro and P30 series and the TCL PLEX T780H.
This technology is also available in mid-range Samsung handsets, such as the Samsung Galaxy A series, as well as in Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Fold.
VoWiFi or Wi-Fi Calling allows customers to make and receive calls and text messages over any Wi-Fi connection using their smartphone’s native dialer, without having to install another app.
Calls made with VoWiFi will be charged against the customer’s active subscription. For customers without an active subscription, local and international voice and text rates will apply.
