T-Mobile unveiled yet another upgrade to its customers’ experience - Enhanced Voice Services (EVS), a true next-gen voice technology that is said to improve voice call reliability in areas of weaker signal and provide even higher-fidelity calls than the HD Voice. EVS does this with a broader audio frequency range, which translates to richer, more realistic-sounding voice audio. Interestingly, EVS works on both Wi-Fi and the T-Mobile LTE network.
According to T-Mobile, the patent-pending deployment of EVS benefits T-Mobile customers with compatible phones even if the person on the other end of the line does not have an EVS-capable device.
For now, EVS is only available on the LG G5, along with the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. The LG G5 works with EVS out of the box, while the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge recently received a software update that enables the feature and the third largest mobile operator in the US said that it is working towards EVS being available on 7 T-Mobile smartphones by the end of the year.
At the same time, the operator said that it now has 27 million customers on 40 models of VoLTE-enabled phones making over 300 million calls a day - well over half of all calls on T-Mobile’s network.
