Do Mobile Signal Boosters Support VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling?
In the age of 4G and 5G, clear and uninterrupted voice calls are expected. Technologies like VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and Wi-Fi Calling have revolutionized how we communicate—ensuring higher-quality voice calls and better connectivity indoors. But what if your signal is weak?
That’s where mobile signal boosters like MobiBoost come in. However, a common technical query remains:
Do mobile boosters support VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling?
Let’s break it down.
What Is VoLTE?
VoLTE enables voice calls over the 4G LTE network, allowing for:
● HD call quality
● Simultaneous voice and data use
● Faster call setup times
Traditional calls use 2G/3G networks, but VoLTE keeps everything on 4G.
Can Signal Boosters Support VoLTE?
Yes—if the booster supports the correct LTE frequency bands.
VoLTE depends entirely on 4G LTE signal strength. A signal booster enhances weak mobile signals by amplifying existing frequencies.
➤ Example:
In India, 4G LTE commonly uses:
● Band 3 (1800 MHz)
● Band 5 (850 MHz)
● Band 40 (2300 MHz)
MobiBoost supports multiple bands across these frequencies. If your booster supports your carrier's VoLTE band and a minimal LTE signal is available, VoLTE will work seamlessly.
Note: If there's zero 4G signal, a booster can’t create one—it can only amplify what's already present.
What Is Wi-Fi Calling?
Wi-Fi Calling allows voice calls over your internet connection instead of relying on the cellular network. This is especially useful in basements, high-rise buildings, or remote areas with poor signal reception.
Can Signal Boosters Enhance Wi-Fi Calling?
No.
Mobile signal boosters work only with cellular signals, not internet or Wi-Fi signals. Wi-Fi Calling is managed through your router and broadband ISP. Therefore:
● If your Wi-Fi is strong, Wi-Fi Calling will work—booster not required.
● If your Wi-Fi is poor, a booster cannot improve it—you’ll need better internet infrastructure or a mesh router.
However, in locations where both Wi-Fi and cellular signals are weak, MobiBoost can be a great backup to support VoLTE or traditional calls.
How MobiBoost Handles VoLTE?
MobiBoost devices are:
● Carrier-agnostic (support Airtel, Jio, Vi, BSNL)
● Multi-band capable (supporting 4G LTE bands like 3, 5, 40)
● Ideal for offices, homes, or basement areas
When installed correctly, MobiBoost provides strong, stable LTE coverage—allowing devices to remain on 4G and fully support VoLTE.

Final Thoughts
If your VoLTE calls drop or switch to 2G/3G indoors, a mobile signal booster like MobiBoost can significantly improve your calling experience. Just make sure:
● The booster supports your operator’s LTE band
● There is at least minimal 4G signal outside the premises
While Wi-Fi Calling is a different technology altogether, having a strong cellular backup ensures your calls aren’t dependent on a single system.
