Two of the largest mobile operators in Thailand, AIS and dtac have recently announced their collaboration in Voice over LTE (VoLTE) across two networks for the first time in Thailand and ASEAN.
VoLTE HD audio and HD video calls are offered at the same price as a regular phone call for both prepaid and contracted customers. Customers of both mobile operators will be able to enjoy premier quality of voice and video call via VoLTE from anywhere in the country where 4G is available. Previously, such calls would have to be converted to 3G when connecting to the other operator.
Titipong Khiewpaisal, SVP in Consumer Marketing and Sales at AIS, and Sitthichoke Nopchinabutr, CMO, Total Access Communication PLC/dtac said in a joint statement, “This announcement marks a significant collaboration in 4G service between two telecom leaders first time in Thailand and ASEAN. After the success in individual VoLTE launches, AIS and dtac mutually agree to expand VoLTE service across the two networks. AIS customers who subscribe 4G VoLTE HD Voice and dtac customers who apply for 4G Calling will benefit from the new experience of using Voice over LTE (VoLTE) with faster connection and clearer sound quality across the two networks.
