4g calling / VoLTE
- 08-02-2023
Okay mikeash_1845715, the handsets Three currently sell are all 4G-VoLTE (4G Calling) enabled. This should give you an idea of the range handsets available, which will work with your SMARTY SIM once Three's 3G network is turned off (by end of 2024).
Purchase your new handset anywhere, but make sure you get the same specification as those being sold by Three.
4G calling (VoLTE) is available on the SMARTY network.
To clarify, VoLTE stands for Voice over LTE and is a kind of VoIP call. When activated any incoming or outgoing calls come in or go out over your cell data. Down side is that calls can become problematic if your data service is poor or bottle necked. If you didn't know already, traditional calls can't be made over SMATY's 4G or 5G network and any calls you make when VoLTE is disabled or not available go via their 3G network.
