Epic is the first to bring the ground-breaking VoLTE service (Voice over LTE) for the benefit of its subscribers. VoLTE technology is the future of making calls through mobile networks, a technology that ‘lifts’ the consumer experience to a whole new level.
By activating the VoLTE technology on their devices, subscribers can enjoy:
• A faster connection of mobile calls. VoLTE calls are often connected up to twice as fast than traditional voice calls.
• Vastly improved sound quality on calls using full high definition technology (EVS - Enhanced Voice Services) compared to the standard high definition offered now.
• Simultaneous use of voice and data during a call. VoLTE technology allows data traffic through the high speed 4G/4.5G Epic network, enabling a multitasking experience on mobile.
The service is offered free of charge by Epic to its subscribers and is initially supported by specific smartphone devices. It will gradually be supported by additional devices so that more of our subscribers can benefit from it. The latest firmware update on the device is required for the activation of VoLTE.
By offering VoLTE to its subscribers, Epic proves once again that the continuous improvement of the customer’s overall experience is a long-term priority for the company.
Important note: Please make sure the device software is updated with the latest release.
