Virgin Media launches wifi calling to keep customers connected during Coronavirus

To make sure everyone stays well connected during the Coronavirus lockdown, Virgin Media have introduced new wifi calling.

Customers can say connected to loved ones from anywhere with wifi, giving them extra piece of mind should they loose signal.

The wifi calling comes at no additional cost, with usage deducted from customers’ monthly airtime allowance.

The service is available to all customers with a compatible device and can be activated without having to download an app or customer’s having to change their mobile plan.

So wherever you are in the UK, whether you’re working from home or calling your besties for a catchup, where there’s wifi, there’s a way to stay in touch with Virgin Media.

This news follows on from Virgin Media giving all of its 4G pay monthly customers a free speed upgrade late last year to 85mbps download and 35Mbps upload so they can enjoy even faster mobile speeds.

Unlike some other voice over wifi services, Virgin Media wifi calling doesn’t require the call recipient to have a specific app installed or to be a Virgin Media customer.

Customers wanting to use wifi calling can simply activate the service via their settings to enjoy an incredibly clear voice HD connection.

Once the feature has been enabled users will connect automatically thereafter without need to activate WiFi Calling again when they next use it.

Virgin Media already offers 99% population mobile coverage and with the addition of wifi calling Virgin Media customers can make the most of the ultimate connectivity at their fingertips.

Virgin Media’s flexible mobile plans come with data roll over and data-free WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Twitter as standard. Freestyle customers can also flex their plan every 30 days, so whether they want more or less data, they have the freedom to pick a tariff that really works for them.
