Vi (formerly Vodafone Idea) yesterday silently joined the league of Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel kickstarting its VoWiFi calling service in select telecom circles across the country. Vi has joined the league quite late with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel offering VoWiFi calling service across the country for quite some time now.

The company is said to be working on improving the availability of its VoWiFi calling service asking customers to remain tuned to its social media pages for further updates. Vi WiFi calling service is likely to be expanded to postpaid customers at a later point in time.
