What is VoLTE roaming?
VoLTE roaming is a service that enables users to place and receive HD voice calls on 4G network while abroad on other’s network. The service allows superior calls thanks to VoLTE technology and reliable data service via LTE infrastructure. It becomes super useful in conditions where there is no 2G or 3G networks and only 4G is available. As 4G doesn’t natively support voice calls, VoLTE brings up that service with high-quality that is not achieved over legacy networks. Check out Top 9 Features of VoLTE.
With the absence of VoLTE roaming, you need to rely on 2G or 3G for making calls even if your phone supports VoLTE. Similarly, for roaming in countries without 2G or 3G network, before you had no option for native phone calling.
Ncell already provides affordable roaming services to its customers for CS calls and mobile data. But the VOLTE roaming further adds better service as well as value to the users.
But do remember that this service is not just for Nepalese going abroad (Outbound roaming). It’s also available to travelers who visit Nepal for various reasons aka Inbound roaming.
