If you’re tired of having poor quality phone calls on your cell phone, did you know that there’s a way you can get better, clearer calls for free? It’s called HD Voice, or Voiceover LTE, and it comes built-in to most new cell phones. In this article, we’ll talk about the basics of HD Voice, as well as how to set it up on your device.
HD Voice works by sending your calls over the LTE frequency band instead of the one you use for regular cellular calls. This has a number of benefits, including super clear calls. You’ll see a big difference in call quality when you start using HD Voice. HD Voice also allows for simultaneous voice and data transfers, so you can be talking on the phone while surfing the web or downloading something all at the same time. Some carriers even have more features, like built-in video calling.
The best part? HD Voice won’t cost you anything extra. It will just use your regular minutes like any other call. All you have to do is turn it on, on your device.
To turn HD Voice on, on an iPhone, go to Settings, Cellular, Cellular Data Options, Enable LTE, and select Voice and Data. On an Android device, go to Settings, Advanced Calling, and under Wireless Networks tap on Advanced Calling to turn it on.
However, there are a few caveats to HD Voice. This won’t work with every phone and every carrier. All the major carriers do support HD Voice, but you can check with your carrier to see which devices are covered. Also, for HD Voice to work, both you and the party you’re calling will need to have HD Voice turned on and be within HD coverage range. You can check HD Voice coverage maps on your carrier’s website.
So there you go, turn on HD Voice and start making clearer calls. No more struggling to hear or understand what the person on the other end is saying. Just make sure to check if your phone and carrier support HD Voice, and you’ll be good to go!
