BSNL Launches Nationwide VoWiFi Calling Across India

The IMS-based feature routes calls over available Wi‑Fi to improve connectivity in weak‑signal locations.

Overview

  • Effective January 1, 2026, Wi‑Fi Calling is live for all BSNL mobile customers across every telecom circle.
  • Calls use the phone’s native dialer and existing number, with IMS technology enabling seamless handover between Wi‑Fi and the mobile network.
  • Wi‑Fi calls carry no extra charges and are billed against the subscriber’s current voice plan.
  • Most modern smartphones support the service, which can be activated by enabling Wi‑Fi Calling in device settings or by seeking BSNL support for compatibility.
  • The rollout is part of BSNL’s network modernisation, complementing its expanding 4G footprint and 5G preparations, and positions the operator more competitively against Jio and Airtel.
