BSNL users in India can now make voice calls and send SMS even without mobile network coverage. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has officially rolled out WiFi Calling, also known as VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi), across the country. This new service is a major relief for users facing poor or no signal in indoor locations, rural areas, or remote regions.
What Is BSNL WiFi Calling?
BSNL WiFi Calling allows users to make and receive calls using a WiFi connection instead of a traditional mobile network. As long as your phone is connected to a stable WiFi network, you can use your regular BSNL mobile number to call or send SMS.
