The Most awaited calling feature for smartphones is now in the mid-way of lunch; jazz introduced WiFi Calling (VoWiFi) for better in-door, more precise, uninterrupted and stable voice call quality in Pakistan. Still, the feature is in the testing phase and has been launched for Samsung devices. Learn more about WiFi Calling.

Suitable for reading Jazz VoLTE


We have contacted @Jazzpk, but they have yet to confirm the actual launch date of the feature.


Why do we need WiFi Calling? 

The WiFi Calling feature has many benefits, but most importantly, it allows you to make or receive calls even when you have poor or non-existent cellular network coverage. It can be beneficial if you live or work in an area with poor outdoor or indoor cellular service.


Another good thing about WiFi calling is that you don't need to do anything besides enabling the feature. All your calls and texts function as they would if you use the cellular network. And since the feature is baked right into the phone's dialer, no additional downloads are necessary, and all your contacts are available whether or not they are using WiFi calling.


More than that, Calls made over WiFi Calling will use your plan's minutes where applicable, even when you're overseas. You will be charged the pay-per-use domestic calling rate if you do not have any bundled voice minutes. International calls will follow the standard IDD rates.


We have tested the WiFi Calling feature while using the @Jazzpk network in Okara District; take a look at the screenshot below:



The screenshot confirmed that WiFi Calling is provisioned for Samsung Galaxy A715 Model. We will verify its availability while travelling abroad. Stay tuned for an update.

How Jazzpk WiFi Calling Feature Works Overseas

This question is yet to be answered by the @Jazzpk team on how the WiFi Calling feature will work if we use the @Jazzpk network while travelling abroad. 
Let's discuss how Jazz WiFi Calling works if they allow this feature to work while using @Jazzpk overseas.

Calling rates Within Pakistan: 

To any Domestic number:         Your plan's rates, including unlimited calls, will apply.
To any International number:     IDD rates will apply.

Calling while outside Pakistan (Roaming):

To any Pakistani number:         Your plan's rates, including unlimited calls, will apply.
To any International number:     IDD rates will apply.


A valid and active Jazz SIM card is required. You cannot make a call if your line is barred, suspended or terminated. If you have a dual-SIM phone, please insert your Jazz SIM into Slot 1. All Jazz subscribers on postpaid and prepaid plans are eligible for WiFi Calling as long as your device's WiFi Calling & rate plan supports "voice call". It is unavailable for "data only" plans such as Postpaid MB. 

All Jazz subscribers will enjoy Ultra HD & Clearer Voice Call in future. Thanks for reading our post, and remember to subscribe to our social media channels to stay tuned for future updates. Until then, Peace & Blessings :)

Are you working in Malaysia and trying to find cheap calling rates to call your home country then you're reading the right post, we have gathered some exciting and cheap International Direct Dialling (IDD) packages for your convenience to choose from, at Spicy Blogging we ensure when loved ones travelling internationally, they should remain connected with family & loved one back home while maintaining budget call packages.


The Malaysian telecommunications market is a thriving mobile market with four large network operators, an incumbent fixed-line provider with a near-monopoly and the overall market underpinned by strong economic fundamentals.

Major Telecom service providers in Malaysia offer a WiFi Calling feature while roaming, This would help you save on roaming call charges as long as the WiFi Calling feature is working. WiFi Calling has been offered by U Mobile 5 years ago back in 2016. Digi also introduced the feature in 2017.

Telenor Pakistan is one of the leading players in the cellular market launched the VoLTE technology in Jan 2019 for OPPO & Realme smartphones and now the network has extended its VoLTE service to selected Samsung phones.

In the race of the fast-growing digital world, after OPPO & Realme Telenor Pakistan is expanding its VoLTE services to the maximum number of users from across the nation by involving all major mobile phone manufacturers in adopting the VoLTE technology.


Why do we need VoLTE?

The question may pop up here why do we require VoLTE Technology? The simple and easiest description of the importance of VoLTE can be understood from the following real-world scenario:

Suppose you are making online payments and the phone/system is in any critical phase e.g. generating O.T.P. and at the same time your phone rings up.


To receive a request from the cellular network for ringing, the phone has to switch from LTE/4G mode to lower bands like 3G/2G etc. During this switching, the internet on phone gets an interrupt. This interrupt may be unnoticeable for humans but the online payment methods mind this and your transactions may be unsuccessful.


Similarly in another scenario when you are downloading some files over the internet, this switching from LTE to 3G/2G may get an interrupt and affect the downloading.


If you have supported OPPO, Realme, Vivo or Samsung phone then you can activate the VoLTE to experience seamless network connectivity. Follow the steps below to activate the VoLTE. 


How to Activate VoLTE

Contact your mobile carrier to activate the 4G and VoLTE functions for your SIM card. If both the primary and secondary SIM card trays of a dual-SIM phone support 4G and VoLTE, 4G and VoLTE can be enabled for both SIM cards.

Do you want to send your foreign worker back home legally? then don't forget to apply for Check Out Memo (COM) at ePLKS Portal, If your worker’s employment is ending (end of contract or termination), you will be required to submit a COM at Immigration to remove her employment records from you. Failure to apply for a COM will also result in a fine, especially when you want to hire another foreign worker & your previously hired worker may be blacklisted to enter Malaysia for not less than 5 years. 
The employer should ensure that the foreign employees return to their country of origin via the requested exit point on the date stipulated in the COM. If the employer fails to apply for the COM, the foreign workers are still considered to be under his employment and the employer is still responsible for the foreign workers.

Before the lunch of the ePLKS Portal, employers have to visit the nearest Jabatan Immigration (JIM) to apply for COM but after the lunch of the ePLKS Portal, you can apply right from your office table. 

  1.  Goto https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/plks/main

    7. Special Pass No. (If Applicable)
    8. Country of Birth

    10. Document or Passport Expiry Date

    If all the information is up to date go ahead and fill up the required inputs in the next section (Information for Check Out Memo (eCOM)).

    4. Date of Exit or Date of departure from Malaysia as per ticket
    5. Select the name of the airport or checkpoint of exit (in our case it's KL International Airport (KLIA)). 
    6. Type of transport (in our case it's By Air).
    7. Destination Country
    8. Reason for Exit
    9. lastly Name of the Airline/Trasport Agent (in our case It's Malindo Air)

  6. If you need more time to fill up the form just click Update (Kemaskini) and save the eCOM application at any point.

  7. Now prepare the Passport & Ticket Booking (Flight/Feri/bus or train).


  8. Select the document name from the dropdown, click Choose File and click upload (Muat Naik), remember you can only upload 1 file at a time.

  9. List of original documents that need to be uploaded for the reference of the Malaysian Immigration Department:

    1) Copy of Passport

    2) Copy of Transportation Ticket. example: Plane/Ferry/Bus Ticket

    Uploaded documents must be less than 250 kb in size.

    *Only files with PDF, JPEG & PNG file types are allowed to be uploaded.

  10. If all the documents are uploaded successfully the list of the documents will be shown just below the upload sections.

  11. Now click on all the checkboxes to accept the terms and conditions for the application and click submit (Hantar).

  12. Popup window will ask to reconfirm the submission, if all the information is perfect click submit button.
  13.  
  14. The last step is to wait for Immigration to approve the application.

That's all for now, It will most likely say that the application has been submitted for approval, You can find all your submitted applications by going to Status Application (Status Permohonan) in your ePLKS Portal. 
After getting approval print out 3 copies of the eCOM approval letter, 2 copies will be attached to the worker's passport & 1 copy for the employer's record for future reference. 

I hope the guide helps the user of the ePLKS Portal, don't share your suggestions & comments. Do let us know if something is missing, we will update the guide if needed. Until next time Peace & Blessing to all.
