Telenor expands the list of devices supporting VoLTE voice technology

Telenor added four new models to the list of mobile devices that can be used with the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) technology.

Calls with HD quality are now available to users of Samsung Galaxy A8, Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy Note 9. With the new additions, there are currently over 20 devices supporting the technology with Telenor’s network.

Adding models to the growing list of devices supporting VoLTE by Telenor is a two-sided process, in which the company and the device manufacturers work together. The manufacturers provide software that meets the technical requirements of the operator and after joint tests and approvals the function can be activated through a software update of the clients’ devices.

VoLTE advantages include a shorter initial connection time , compared to the times in 2G and 3G networks. In addition, customers continue to use 4G mobile internet without interruption during calls.

VoLTE by Telenor is vailable to all residential and business customers, who have VoLTE-compatible devices, use a 4G-enabled plan and are located within the operator’s 4G network coverage. VoLTE is not available to Telenor pre-paid customers and to corporate clients that use some specific business services.

To make calls with VoLTE quality, both sides must use the technology. The calls made through it are charged according to the customer’s mobile subscription plan and do not use the available mobile internet data. To take advantage of the capabilities of the technology, Telenor customers must activate the VoLTE option in the device’s settings.

More information on the devices and the operating system versions that support VoLTE by Telenor, as well as the frequently asked questions for the technology, are published at the official website of Telenor. Information can also be obtained via call to a short number and at any operator and official partner store.
