Enhancing Call Clarity and Customer Experience

During a recent statement on Friday, Manoj Murali, the Managing Director of Airtel Uganda, highlighted the advantages of the high-definition voice feature. Murali emphasized that this development will not only enhance call clarity but also prevent miscommunication, ultimately improving the overall customer experience on 4G, 5G, and other networks.

With the introduction of Airtel VoLTE, individuals possessing 4G-enabled smartphones will be able to experience high-definition voice calls over the 4G network. Murali described this as a major innovation within the 4G network, offering improved call quality and eliminating any noticeable gaps when dialing another person.

“We have introduced HD calls with Airtel VoLTE and if you have a 4G enabled phone, the calls will go through 4G network. Because of this you will have high definition voice calls with improved quality, you will not see any gap when you dial another person. It is a big innovation on the 4G network,” he said.

“Previously, while browsing internet and a voice call comes in , the internet was disrupted.  This will no longer be the case. You will continue browsing internet even if you receive a voice call.”

Simultaneous Talking and Browsing

Furthermore, Murali stressed that Airtel customers using VoLTE will also have the added advantage of conducting voice calls and browsing the internet simultaneously without any interruptions.

In the past, users would experience internet disruptions when receiving voice calls while browsing. However, this issue will now be resolved, allowing uninterrupted internet access during voice calls.

Transitioning to VoLTE and Future Compatibility

While VoLTE is automatically accessible for iPhone users, Murali noted that users of other devices will need to adjust their settings to take advantage of this technology.

He explained that users can easily navigate to their device settings and activate the VoLTE feature. Additionally, Airtel is actively collaborating with various handset manufacturers to ensure compatibility with VoLTE in the near future.

Expanding Coverage and Regulatory Approval

Murali also emphasized that VoLTE services are accessible throughout the country, thanks to Airtel’s extensive 4G network coverage. Users only need to possess a 4G-enabled device to leverage this technology.

This announcement coincides with the recent approval from the Uganda Communication Commission, granting Airtel permission to commence the rollout of their 5G network in the country.
