Government telecom company BSNL is going to bring a new service for its customers, which will solve the problem of call drops. Also, the company will launch a special recharge plan for students and women. Let us tell you that BSNL is quite popular due to its cheap recharge plans and has also rolled out 4G coverage across the country. Now the company will bring VoWi-Fi service to prevent call drops. Let us know about this service.

This is BSNL’s planning

After rolling out 4G (LTE) in all the telecom circles of the country, now BSNL is preparing to launch VoWi-Fi (Voice over Wi-Fi) service. Currently its testing is going on in two zones. During this period, its performance has been positive in areas with less network. After the final testing is completed, it will be launched for the users.

What is VoWi-Fi service?

This technology works together with Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE). With its help, if the user is connected to a WiFi network, he can make as well as receive calls in areas with less mobile network. This service runs on IP Multimedia Subsystem, due to which voice service can be used over Wi-Fi network. It is worth noting that this technology works only on 4G SIM cards. The advantage of this will be that 4G users of BSNL will be able to make phone calls even from areas with low mobile signal due to Wi-Fi network. For this, they will not need to change any setting in the phone separately.

Other companies are also providing this service

Companies like Vodafone Idea, Jio and Airtel are already offering this service. Now BSNL will also compete with these companies by launching this service and its customers will be able to get better service than before.

Bsnl vowifi: Government telecom company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has given a big gift for its users. Now the customers of the company will be able to make voice calls without mobile network. BSNL has launched its new VOIFI (Voice Over Wi-Fi) service so that users will be able to call through Wi-Fi connections instead of mobile networks. With this move, BSNL has now come to equal to private companies like Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-D, which are already providing this facility.

BSNL’s network expansion

BSNL has recently expanded its 4G service by installing more than 1 lakh mobile towers across the country. The company is planning to set up about 97,500 more towers in the coming time. Meanwhile, the start of Vowifi service is considered to be another major achievement on the occasion of completion of 25 years of BSNL.

The soft launch of this service was done on 2 October by Neeraj Mittal, Secretary, Department of Telecommunications (DOT). Currently, this service has been started in South and West Circle but soon it will be made available across the country. Also, BSNL has recently started 4G and ESIM service in Mumbai which was earlier launched in Tamil Nadu.

How will BSNL’s Vowifi service work?

This service will be especially beneficial for areas where the mobile network is weak. Users will be able to make clear and stable calls without any interruption through their home-Fi or broadband connection. However, for this, the user must have a smartphone that supports Vowifi. Nowadays, in most new Android and iPhone models, this option is already present in settings.

Free facility for all BSNL customers

BSNL has confirmed that this new Vowifi service will be completely free. Users will not have to pay any additional fee to call. The company informed through its official X (East Twitter) account that this service will provide better connectivity and uninterrupted calling experience to the customers, that too without any additional expenditure.

BSNL will compete with private companies

This step of BSNL now makes it stand in direct competition of big telecom players like Jio, Airtel and VI. Earlier, where these private companies used to provide Wi-Fi calling facility, now BSNL has also joined the same line. This initiative can prove to be an important step for BSNL to strengthen its hold in the Indian telecom market and modernize the network.

If you have also received a message or notice recently that your SIM may be closed because you have not updated the KYC, and it has been sent in the name of BSNL or TRAI, be careful. This is a completely fake notice. It has been made clear from the government that BSNL has not issued any such notice and TRAI has nothing to do with it.

Pib Fact Check has warned people with its official X (Twitter) handle, calling this message fake. The tweet said, “Have you also received a notice allegedly from BSNL, claiming that the customer’s KYC is suspended by @TRAI and the SIM card will be blocked within 24 hours? Be careful! This notice is #Fake.”

Further, it has also been told that BSNL never sends notice in this way. At the same time, users have been urged not to share their personal or bank details with anyone.

The image of the notice has also been shared, which states that the user’s KYC has been suspended and if the call is not made in 24 hours, the SIM card will be blocked. Also, a call number and the name of ‘KYC Verification Executive’ has also been given, so that the notice looks real. But after looking carefully, it is clear that there are many disturbances in its language, layout and information.

PIB also stated that the purpose of such fake messages is to scare people and steal their personal and bank details. As soon as you call or click on the link, scammers can ask for your OTP, Aadhaar or account details, which can make fraud transactions.

In such cases, many times users are told that their “SIM service will be suspended immediately”, due to which people give information about fear. But the government has clarified that no mobile service provider, whether BSNL or any other KYC send any ultimatum notice in this way.
