Beyond GSM networks, telephone calls have evolved in order to improve their quality and support. The arrival of the Internet has made these improve enormously, emerging technologies such as VoWiFI and VOLTE that are also compatible with our Xiaomi smartphones.
What is VoWiFi and what are its advantages after activating its use in a Xiaomi
To be extortionate, VoWiFI comes from Voice over WiFi, which translated would be “voice over WiFi.” In itself, this technology allows us make calls from our Xiaomi using the WiFi connection, something very interesting in areas where there is no mobile coverage.
