VoWiFi is a technology that allows users to connect even without a mobile signal.

VoWiFi technology enables users to connect with no mobile signal as the technology eradicates mobile blackspots by allowing users to make and receive calls over WiFi or wireless internet connections.
OTT player's such as WhatsApp is presently offering this feature.
As per earlier media reports, Jio has been testing its Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi) in different regions like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh whereas Airtel is testing the services across its leading circles such as Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh.
