What is VoWiFi and how does it help save money while traveling?

VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi) is a technology that allows making regular voice calls over a Wi-Fi network instead of cellular connection. For travelers, this is a real find, as calls to any numbers (mobile and landline) from abroad are billed according to your home tariff, as if you were in Russia. This allows you to completely avoid huge bills for international roaming.
The technology is especially useful when you need to call a bank, insurance company, or relatives who do not use messengers. Although messengers are popular, there are situations where a voice call to a regular phone number is needed.
For everything to work, your smartphone must support VoWiFi (most devices from the last 3β4 years do), and the operator must have this service activated. It is also important to check the settings in advance and make sure your SIM card is up to date.
Important! VoWiFi is not an internet call through an app like WhatsApp* (owned by Meta, which is banned in the Russian Federation), but a full-fledged call through your mobile operator's network, using Wi-Fi as the communication channel. On the phone screen, a special icon usually appears (for example, a phone handset with Wi-Fi waves).
