Vodafone New Zealand announced that it has completed its nationwide upgrade program for 4G Calling, enabling HD voice service for its customers.
4G Calling or 4G VoLTE is supported by technology partner Nokia, and delivers a key part of Vodafone’s voice evolution strategy. 4G Calling is available to Vodafone customers on a wide range of devices including newer Samsung models as well as the iPhone 6 and above.
The upgrade enables reduced background noise on voice calls and quicker call connection – as well as fewer interruptions if a phone call comes in while streaming content.

This is part of our broader 5G technology upgrade program, bringing world-leading network technology to New Zealand. VoLTE-enabled devices will stay on 4G rather than drop to 3G or 2G to make calls – and our 4G Calling service can seamlessly transition to 3G if required, which means Vodafone customers can expect call continuity and a smooth experience.
