The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has issued guidelines on using Wi-Fi Calling to help people maintain calling facilities in areas with weak mobile signals.
According to a private news channel, the PTA has advised citizens to use Wi-Fi Calling, also known as VoWiFi, to make calls when mobile signals are weak.
In its public awareness message, the authority said Wi-Fi Calling could be helpful for users experiencing poor mobile signals inside their homes or offices.
The technology allows mobile phone calls to be made using an available Wi-Fi internet connection instead of relying on a conventional mobile network.
However, the facility is available only if supported by the relevant mobile operator and device.
According to the PTA, users can make calls from their mobile phones by connecting to a Wi-Fi network. To use the service, their phones must support Wi-Fi Calling, and their mobile operators must also offer the service.
The authority advised users to go to their mobile phone settings and enable the Wi-Fi Calling option. Once activated, users can connect to a Wi-Fi network and make calls even in areas where mobile signals are weak.
The PTA further clarified that the effective use of Wi-Fi Calling depends on device and mobile operator support. Users can contact their respective operators to confirm service availability and learn how to activate it.
