Call or send SMS without mobile coverage? It’s now possible via Wi-Fi.
Published on 13/11/2024 in Be the first to know
With Proximus you have an excellent network at your disposal, still at some places the coverage may be reduced. The presence of thick concrete walls in houses and offices, for example, or the thorough isolation of your home... block the signals. But we’ve got the perfect solution: VoWiFi!
The benefits of Wi-Fi calls:
- You always benefit from the best quality for your calls and SMS
- You can easily activate this option on your device; it will then automatically activate in case of need.
- You don’t pay any additional cost: your consumption is deducted from your pack as a normal call/SMS
From now on, you can easily be reached on your smartphone everywhere in Belgium where Wi-Fi is available. With VoWiFi (Voice over Wi-Fi), you can make and receive calls and send and receive text messages via the Wi-Fi network!
It's very simple: you don't need any applications, new contact list or new login. All you need is a compatible mobile phone, active VoWifi and to be connected to a Wi-Fi network at home or elsewhere.
No extra costs
There is no additional charge for using Proximus VoWiFi.
- VoWiFi calls are billed like mobile voice calls on the Proximus network, depending on your plan’s allowance of minutes.
- VoWiFi calls to foreign countries are charged the same as calls to foreign countries from the mobile network.
- Sending text messages via Wi-Fi is counted and billed like text messages on mobile networks.
