Customers with the mobile network will soon be able to make and receive calls without limitations or apps.
Across the United Kingdom, customers with Vodafone will soon be able to take advantage of WiFi calling that will be available without needing to use any special apps, and without any restrictions on who they will be able to call.
The telecom is rolling out this service nationwide to reduce problems associated with cell signals.
Vodafone has stated that by making WiFi calling available to its customers, then they will not be limited by places that their cellular signals can’t reach. This way, customers will be able to place and receive calls from well inside buildings, from rural areas, and even while taking the London Underground. Any place with a WiFi connection will open up the ability for these device users to be able to use the service. This service is rolling out across the country over the span of the next few weeks.
The WiFi calling will be available to Vodafone customers at no additional charge and without plan changes.
The service will be available by way of a range of different leading smartphones and mobile technology devices. According to Vodafone UK consumer director Cindy Rose, “Our wi-fi calling service allows customers to talk to loved ones, friends and colleagues for longer and in many more places.” She also stated that it is simple for customers to use and it won’t cost them any more money on their plans. “It works wherever a customer is connected to wi-fi, in a café, at home or the office, and automatically connects just like a normal call when a mobile signal is weak or non-existent.”
This WiFi calling feature is only a part of a broader spectrum of efforts that Vodafone has been making to enhance its voice network. This has also included the nationwide launch of HD Voice Technology, as well as the rollout of 4G+, as well as the Vodafone Rural Open Sure Signal program. The goal of that last program is to ensure that even remote communities will be able to enjoy coverage for their mobile devices.
Mobile games are becoming much more popular throughout China
Mobile games are exploding in China. The country is now home to one of the largest mobile markets in the world, largely due to the increase smartphone penetration and the expansion of mobile networks throughout the country. Niko Partners, a leading research firm, has released its latest report concerning the growth of mobile gaming in China. According to the report, China is on track to outpace the United States when it comes to mobile gaming revenue.
Mobile gaming revenue in China to hit $5.5 billion by the end of this year
The report shows that China’s mobile gaming revenue will reach $5.5 billion by the end of this year. This represents a 66% increase over the revenue that was reported in 2014. Global mobile gaming revenue is expected to be approximately $30 billion, with China accounting for a significant portion of that revenue as its gaming space begins to expand. By the end of this year, China is expected to be home to more than 420 million gamers that use their mobile devices to play the games they like.
The US is beginning to fall behind when it comes to mobile games
The United States has been one of the countries leading the way in mobile gaming revenue for several years. Now, however, China is beginning to outpace the country, largely due to the number of mobile games that have been released in the country. The Chinese gaming market is currently dominated by Tencent, which owns the massively popular WeChat application. Other companies have found success in the market as well, where consumers are showing favor for playing convenient games while commuting.
China’s mobile gaming revenue to hit $11.1 billion by 2019
According to the report from Niko Partners, China’s mobile gaming revenue is expected to swell to $11.1 billion by 2019. As developers bring more games to the country and mobile networks continue to expand, more consumers are expected to spend money on these games. Consumers have shown that they are very willing to spend money on mobile games they enjoy, though doing so has been considered a controversial practice in other parts of the world.
