Reliance Jio WiFi calling enabled in India.
Soon after Bharti Airtel launched Wi-Fi calling in India, Reliance Jio has also trickled the switch for VoWiFi on its network. The VoWiFi based calling service will work on both Android and iOS devices across India. Jio has added the WiFi-based calling support to over 150 handsets and it will be rolled out nationwide by January 16, 2020. The telecom operator is working with various OEMs and will be bringing the support for mode devices soon.
What is VoWi-Fi?
VoWi-Fi or Voice over Wi-Fi calling is a new service launched by Reliance Jio that can help users in making calls using a Wi-Fi connection. If you have poor network coverage at your home, you can connect to a WiFi network to make regular calls without any trouble. This ensures enhanced voice and video-calling experience. Notably, the users will not be charged anything extra for using this feature.

What devices are supported?
As of now, only a limited number of devices support WiFi calling on Jio. Apple iPhone 6s and later are supported along with flagship Samsung devices like Samsung Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy S10 and more.
