Airtel Kenya has launched Voice over LTE (VoLTE), an advanced technology that delivers high-quality sound over voice and video calls on a 4G network.
The new feature, rolled out on Monday, will enable Airtel users to enjoy high-definition (HD) voice available on Android and iOS devices.
To enjoy the experience, users will be required to have a VoLTE-enabled handset and a 4G Sim Card.
The technology also enables a fast call set-up that includes making calls while browsing.
“Airtel is committed to leveraging innovations that guarantee amazing experience while offering value to customers,” said managing director Ashish Malhotra during the launch.
Malhotra noted that its 4G network covers the whole country.
Kenya’s leading mobile operator Safaricom launched a similar feature in mid-2019, becoming the first firm to bring the technology to East Africa.
As part of its rebranding strategy through a campaign dubbed ‘A Reason to Imagine’, Airtel has also introduced a 1GB data bundle package as the telco eyes more young people, especially content creators.
“The amazing 1GB bundle goes for Sh50 and is valid for 24 hours,” the firm says.
