- TO Alive offers Wi-Fi voice service for all customers.
- TO Clear It offers VoWiFi technology, but only for pure post-paid users (not valid control, pre-paid or Claro Flex).
- Virtual operators Americanet (like Veek, for example) supports Wi-Fi Calling, but only on Android devices.
- TO TIM We do not have Wi-Fi connection technology for any client.
- Most Brazilian virtual operators do not offer VoWiFi, including Correios Celular, Surf Telecom, Uber Chip, Inter Cel etc.
If you are a customer who chooses VoWiFi and a compatible device, certify that you activate the device configurations.
