WiFi calling through VoWiFi
For many people, parting with their mobile phones can be quite challenging. Not just because of the sheer desire to constantly stay on top of all the information or for entertainment. The phone is still the most effective method of contacting others. Whether it is immediate family or business partners. While in the case of making calls in Poland, as well as for a long time in the European Union, there are no obstacles, in the rest of our world the stairs begin.
The biggest limit in this case is roaming. In many countries outside the Old Continent the costs are literally cosmic. So much so that for making a call of several minutes, you can spend up to several hundred zlotys, and sometimes these amounts can be as high as four digits. Such horrendous call costs can certainly be problematic for Polish tourists. Is there an alternative to calling from a cell phone?

Voice over Internet Protocol

In this case, the Internet comes to the rescue. However, this is not about communicating via instant messaging or Skype. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) makes it possible to transmit sounds over a network link using the so-called IP protocol. This form of making phone calls makes it possible to become independent of mobile network operators, as well as to save a considerable amount of money. However, when traveling abroad, it is unlikely to be an easy task to find such a landline.

WiFi calling

Hence, a new technology emerged, christened "WiFi calling." This is one of the most advanced standards in fourth-generation (4G) mobile telephony. It enables Voice over IP (VoIP) calls through WiFi hotspots. Its significant advantage is the capability to make calls using WiFi calling even in areas with very weak cellular network coverage, such as elevators, densely built urban areas, or shopping centers. Additionally, it serves as a means to circumvent costly roaming charges.

Oprócz sprawdzenia, czy dana sieć komórkowa umożliwia wykonywanie połączeń poprzez VoWiFi, należy zaopatrzyć się w odpowiedni sprzęt. Ważne jest, by dany model telefonu mógł wykonywać tego typu połączenia. Przykładowe modele wspierające WiFi calling: Samsung (seria Galaxy), Sony Xperia, iPhone (od serii 6), LG K8, K10, seria X Power.

Besides, it is worth getting a device that will provide WiFi access even in cases when finding a stationary hotspot borders on the miraculous. Such a device is the XOXO WiFi mobile router. It guarantees to produce a constant WiFi signal even in 140 countries from all over the world. All you have to do is turn on the device outside Poland, while it will connect to the best quality local network. This allows any tourist or businessman to make WiFi calls almost anywhere in the world, while not paying huge amounts of money for roaming.

WiFi calling is worth remembering, as it allows you to both stay in touch with your loved ones even in very difficult conditions, at the same time guaranteeing yourself time and money savings. And XOXO WiFi further facilitates this method of making calls. Who knows, maybe in the near future everyone will be connecting to the world this way?
