Safaricom VoLTE goes live countrywide. Here are the supported devices

Have you ever made a call where you can barely hear the other person on the other end of the line? That used to be very common with 2G/3G networks, but now with super fast 4G LTE network becoming the default mobile standard, not only can you view Whatsapp pics and messages very fast, you will also be able to make crystal clear HD voice calls using what’s called VoLTE or Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE).

Now, most users already know that 4G LTE offers super-fast mobile data north of 150Mbps. VoLTE rides on 4G’s super fast mobile data network to also carry HD voice calls. This means that unlike 2/3G, you can make a call while browsing the internet at the same time with VoLTE.

You can confirm if you are on Safaricom VoLTE by looking out for the VoLTE symbol on your notification bar and the “HD Calling” symbol when calling to other mobile devices. – Charles Kare – Director, Consumer Business. #NaweKilaWakati pic.twitter.com/u7SgujectC
