After business customers, from December 2023, Yettel will also make the VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi) service available free of charge to its residential customers. With the help of the technology, the possibility of high-quality voice calls and – on suitable devices – the possibility of sending SMS is also available in buildings and interior rooms where the outdoor mobile signal is already weak or does not even reach there: telephones are the local wireless internet ( WiFi network) can be used to connect to the mobile network, ensuring full coverage within the WiFi range within the building.

Hungary’s mobile networks are at the forefront in the world, but due to the technology and the characteristics of the propagation of mobile radio signals, it happens that the mobile radio signal from the base station reaches the interior of thick-walled buildings, the depths of metal buildings or underground rooms, or it is not possible to reach them. Yettel’s free service, VoWiFi, helps with this. It connects to the local WiFi network as the first step of the indoor mobile connection, and from there it connects to the provider’s mobile network, thereby significantly increasing deep indoor network coverage. When the service was launched in March, it was initially available to business subscribers of the mobile company, but from now on, Yettel VoWifi is also available to a wider audience, residential subscribers.
