I have never had good experience with using VoWiFi, explicitly have it turned off on everybody's phone at home because it was like your average VoIP calls - latency delay while talking and the other person hearing.
I never had latency issues when vowifi is working. I mean there's a delay of 1 second when the signal transitions from mobile network to wifi, after that it's smooth. The clarity does improve a lot.
Both are necessary. I have read that Jio's vowifi is stable compared to Airtel. Also read that for Airtel vowifi some changes need to be made to router configuration to make it work properly. But I haven't made any such changes to my router and yet Airtel's vowifi is pretty much solid on my two Android One devices. Probably the modem configuration of some devices messes with vowifi functionality.
Had issues on Airtel VoWiFi when it launched initially but it has been rock solid for quite some time now and the audio quality on a good home connection is defnitely better than over 4G.
This is on iPhone, i suppose?
Yes, indeed. Also, it really came in handy recently at a remote hill station when I could make calls using the hotel WiFi when otherwise there was no signal on 4G.
Process takes 4-5 days but during which your airtel sim will continue to work, you will get messages from jio during process and will inform date/time of starting jio services, usually happpens midnight.
Once jio is activated, is there any 24 hours waiting period to get sms messages?
Once activated you need call cc and verify some details (DOB/address etc.). Also need to do FRC recharge plan which is different from normal plans. Think it will immediately activate sms/calls/data for you...
Yes, Incoming SMS are blocked for first 24 hours on all networks.
All operators will ask for Adhaar, Btw what's wrong with portimg using the Adhaar?
It's easier for them but I'm worried if seeding aadhaar to jio would be a privacy/data risk...But then again it's reliance jio and most probably they have everybody's data in their hands anway.
The data they receive is same as what you'd be giving them via Voter ID or Driving License etc... It's your Name, Photo, Address, communication details, nothing more than that. The Biometric is a means of authentication to UIDAI servers, basically your approval to let them access that data for that one-time only. They cannot access it again or update it on their own.
