Voice Over Wi-Fi - Now on your Nokia smartphone
Hello Fans, here's some good news for those of you using Nokia smartphones on Jio and Airtel networks. We're happy to announce that voice over any Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) is being enabled on a range of Nokia smartphones for Jio and Airtel users.
Jio users on Nokia 9 PureView, Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 8.1, Nokia 7.2, Nokia 7.1, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6.2, Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 6.1 will be able to use VoWiFi.
Airtel users on Nokia 9 PureView, Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 8.1, Nokia 7.1, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 6.1 will be able to use VoWiFi.
[Update March 31] Airtel VoWiFi is available on Nokia 7.2, too.
[Update May 13] Airtel and Jio VoWiFi enabled on Nokia 3.1 Plus.
What is Wi-Fi calling?
The Wi-Fi calling feature lets you make calls directly from their smartphone to any other mobile or landline via a Wi-Fi network and without the use of any third-party app. Plus, as you move from Wi-Fi into a non-Wi-Fi location, the call is seamlessly moved to your telecom network. This is great news especially for those of you who face network coverage and quality issues indoors. Moreover, you can also make VoWiFi calls to a person who doesn’t have the feature enabled on their phone.
Please check with your operator (Jio or Airtel) to know the charges to make VoWiFi locally, while roaming, and internationally.
How to enable and use VoWiFi
- Open phone settings.
- Search for Wi-Fi calling option.
- Enable Wi-Fi calling option.
- Keep both VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling switched on.
- Connect to a Wi-Fi network to start making Wi-Fi calls anywhere in India using the same process as you do while making voice calls generally.
Now, your Nokia smartphone will automatically toggle between your Wi-Fi and cellular network to deliver the best call quality.
Happy VoWiFi calling, folks!

Is the VoWiFi option readily available in above mentioned phones are they will be updated with February security patch ? If that so when is the update available ?
Its already rolled out. But Wifi calling option will be available only if you have jio and airtel network.
I don't see the update. I think I am on the latest update and on Airtel (Hyderabad)
goto settings -> network -> advance -> wifi calling
Hi @dipankar paul, thanks for the nice update. Do we have a possibility for the VoWiFi and VoLTE from Airtel being enabled on Nokia 6.2 and 7.2 too? I guess these fresh new devices also deserve the improved calling experience that VoLTE and VoWiFi offers.
And if it is okay to ask, how about compatibility with Vodafone-Idea's VoLTE services?
Option not available on my Nokia 8.1
Last update checked on 09-02-2020. No update as of now.
@dipankar paul
Hello,What about the other devices which are not in the list,will they enabled by next security update or not?

It is already there in your phone. Its upto your network operator to enable this feature.
Nokia 7.2 doesn't support Airtel Wificalling feature.does any one has info by when wifi calling will be supported by Nokia 7.2 for Airtel subscribers.
I have two Nokia 6.1 Plus, both on Airtel, one has got WiFi calling but the other did not.
How to enable it?
Hello everyone, a quick update: Airtel VoWiFi is now available on the Nokia 7.2 with the Android 10 release.
@dipankar paul Just for information,will the Vo-WiFI services for Nokia 3,5,6,8 able to get these services by next quarterly patch?
With Android 10 Upgrade, most of the other eligible devices might see this option soon
For jio, my preferred setting is set gor roaming by default and cannot change it. How to change it ?
@soumojitdas65
You mean you are facing issue while toggle off the roaming option or unable to see the roaming option?
So, please help with Wificalling in Germany. Operator O2-de . Operator says its activated and if it is not available in the phone I should speak to the manufacturer.
Its the 7.2 with Android 10 and VoLTE and Wificalling is not available in the menu.
How can I activate it ??
can we expect Wi-Fi Calling option for Nokia 8?
