Nepal Telecom (NTC) has officially launched the VoWiFi (WiFi Calling) service in Nepal.

The service was already active for a while, actually, it was there when Ntc VoLTE was launched. But today, the company formally announced its commercial operation. Now, eligible Ntc users will be able to make calls inside and outside Nepal using a WiFi connection. According to the company, VoWiFi also lets users make calls and send SMS.

Thankfully, I have already made calls using Ntc WiFi Calling. This is how it shows up when you use this feature.

How to activate VoWiFi in Ntc?

Unfortunately, VoWiFi requires carrier support and smartphone compatibility. Now, Ntc provides support, but users’ devices must also be compatible with WiFi Calling. You can go to your phone’s Settings > Mobile Networks > SIM Card > VoWiFi or something similar. The steps are similar on both Android and iPhones. If you see options such as VoWiFi or WiFi Calling, then it means your phone does support it.

Likewise, your phone must have VoLTE activated for VoWiFi to work. When these requirements are met, you can call any national and international number with Ntc VoWiFi service. Don’t miss: How to get eSIM in Ntc?
