VoLTE stands for voice over LTE and it’s more or less exactly what it says on the tin. It’s voice calls over a 4G LTE network, rather than the 2G or 3G connections which are usually used.

We tend to think of 4G as mostly being about downloading, streaming and web browsing, and indeed that’s primarily what it’s been used for so far, but it can also be used to improve calls.

[li][SIZE=5]Superior call quality[/SIZE][/li][/ul]
The big advantage of VoLTE is that call quality is superior to 3G or 2G connections as far more data can be transferred over 4G than 2G or 3G. Up to three times as much data as 3G and up to six times as much as 2G to be precise, making it easier to make out not only what the person on the other end of the line is saying, but also their tone of voice.

Essentially it’s an HD voice call and it’s a much richer experience over all.

[li][SIZE=5]Improved coverage and connectivity[/SIZE][/li][/ul]
VoLTE can connect calls up to twice as fast as the current methods and as 2G and 3G connections will still be available when there’s no 4G signal it simply means that there’s greater mobile coverage overall, as currently places with a 4G signal but no 2G or 3G means that on you can’t make or receive calls.

You might think that would be a rare occurrence, but some of the frequencies that 4G operates on, such as the 800MHz spectrum, have far greater reach than 2G or 3G spectrum, so you’ll be able to get signal further away from a mast or in buildings which other signals struggle to penetrate. Indeed, Three is fully relying on its 800MHz spectrum for VoLTE calls.

However, while 2G and 3G services would likely remain they wouldn’t be as necessary as they are now and much of the spectrum used for 2G in particular could potentially be repurposed to increase capacity on 4G networks.

[ul]
[li][SIZE=5]Better battery life[/SIZE][/li][/ul]
Anyone who currently uses 4G could also find their battery life increased with VoLTE, as without it whenever you make or receive a call your phone has to switch from 4G to 2G or 3G, since 4G calls aren’t supported and then once the call is finished it switches back again. All that switching, plus the need to search for a different signal each time, can give the battery a significant hit.

[ul]
[li][SIZE=5]Video calling [/SIZE][/li][/ul]
It’s also theoretically possible to make video calls over 4G, much like a Skype call except you’d just use your mobile number and be able to use the regular dialler and call interface, so you can make and receive video calls from anyone else with VoLTE, rather than relying on separate accounts.

In fact you may have noticed that Skype and other existing video calls services often seem to have superior audio quality to voice calls. That’s because like VoLTE they use more data as part of a similarly named VoIP system, so you can expect your voice calls to start sounding more like Skype calls, but they won’t hit your battery life as much as Skype does.

Not only could video calls become native to the dialler, but other Rich Communication Services (or RCS’s) could as well, such as file transferring, real time language translation and video voicemail and there may be applications which haven’t even been thought up yet.

tutalipa zaidi au?
samavicom tunawajua ni mikola bila huruma

Nimekuwa nikitumia Volte kwa Faiba na sisumbui.
Safaricon wakuende huko…

Huawei sales must be slow and this is also away to push…

Safarichieth sirudi tena. The try to entice me but nimekausha kichwa. Safaricon ni MPESA Tu na kureceive call.[ATTACH=full]244772[/ATTACH]

They’re more than a year late and the way they have high tariffs, shame on them…

Hio message ya mwisho walinitumia nikacheka, ati free youtube na unalipia 20bob. samavicon wananionea viusasa siku izi

To the layman, does this have a significant difference that would justify getting a VOLTE enabled device?

no

How does volte help us?

kwani wewe unajua kusoma short twitter posts pekee? Nimeweka advantages za VOLTE hapo juu

Nimeziona, lakini bado siioni. Labda tutazoea. Sana sana tulikuwa tunataka mpesa charges zipungue

ukinunua simu ya maana utaona benefits.

@digi ni kondoo achana na yeye…

TO the ordinary user, not some tech nerd

What have you as an ordinary user not understood in the 4 benefits I have listed above? You cannot claim not to have understood all of them unless you are just lazy at reading

Hapa itabidi utulie…lazma ufunze watu polepole hii ktalk with a lot of patience na kujirudia kama 20 times hadi uchoke. Kama mimi it took me about three months to explain the difference kati ya Redmi note7, note7pro na redmi 7. Hata sahii I can’t tell for sure kama wanakijiji wanelewa.

For the topic at hand, there are some devices lazma watu wa- activate volte via a code. Ukipata time waeleze na uwape code. Mimi sitaweza saii kung’ang’ana na watu na maswali zao zenye hazieleweki.
