VoLTE simple means Voice over LTE. It is voice calls carried over a 4G LTE network instead of the more common voice networks like 2G & 3G.

Below are the benefits of the VoLTE;

  1. It is possible to simultaneously do voice and data.
  2. Faster connection times during call set up, usually less than 2 seconds
  3. High Definition voice calls which means all VoLTE calls are crystal clear resulting in a richer calling experience
  4. Better battery life since, unlike traditional calling methods where your phone will have to switch from 4G to 3G or 2G, VoLTE calls only work on 4G meaning there will be no switching or searching for signals every time you are on a call, thereby improving your battery life

ViLTE stands for video over LTE. It’s an extension of VoLTE, which enhances voice services with a high-quality video channel.

Below are the benefits of the ViLTE;

  1. Make video calls straight from your native dialer. With ViLTE, you do not need any other app to make a video call
  2. Enjoy an enriched experience of mobile telecommunications (point-to-point and multi-party video calls) through video calls.
