Yeah, same boat bro. I just port out from Maxis 98 to Digi 80 for 10+10GB, hope Digi coverage wont disappoint me

P/S: got a call from maxis asking whether to top up another 2gb for RM12..

thanks, saw it now.

janji boleh call and can hear the other side ok lah...hehehe

To enjoy these new features, which come at no additional cost, both devices making and receiving the call must be VoLTE-capable with the feature switched on and with both customers located within Digi’s 4G LTE coverage area.
This one? Perhaps the feature is VoLTE quality.
How can a phone will know who he dial is iphone with volte capability or no before reaching them?
Another fact, if YES 4G VoLTE call maxis user now? what should they do? drop to 3G(they only have volte)? call drop?

If you are saying to have volte quality then you are right.

A call B:
A (iphone VoLTE) to B (3310) = the call at A will still VoLTE, remain at 4G
A (3310) to B (iphone VoLTE) = the call at B will still VoLTE, remain at 4G
A (iphone VoLTE to B (iphone VoLTE) = both side will at VoLTE, remain at 4G .. if network stable, it only requires 1s to reach B, same as wifi calling to wifi calling

as the news link stated, NOW is strictly Digi to Digi where both end are iPhone VoLTE capable phones. then and only then the VoLTE will go through.

the VoLTE features has to be supported at the LTE's EPC, the equipment is called IMS, within digi own LTE network, which is ZTE, i believe the IMS is also belong to ZTE, i m not sure on this. if it is ZTE, ZTE only need to maintain their own IMS and solve the VoLTE problem if any issue arises. but when you are talking about Inter-Telco VoLTE call, the IMS of telco A will have to route to IMS of telco B to make VoLTE possible, I am not if there has been live or not, I didnt follow this news closely though.

How can a phone will know who he dial is iphone with volte capability or no before reaching them?
--------a phone with VoLTE capablity will have a tag of this features when making the call setup, when the EPC receive this VoLTE tag, it will check if the destination caller is also on the LTE network and support VoLTE, if it has, then the call will patch through on 4G network, else it would be fallback to 3G or 2G depending on the signal conditions.

volte quality to me is VoLTE features, but the news link claimed it is HD-Voice, which 3G already can support HD voice when circuit switch can handled AMR-WB codec of 12.65Kbps.

as for VoLTE is double the bitrate, or 23.85kbps to be more precise. Calls will sound even clearer, and that is the highest possible bitrate defined in 3GPP standard for VoLTE. which i believe is also the same bitrate for VoWIFI

It's main purpose is to improve audio quality dramatically and allow more more advanced features like better noise cancellation.

Right now iPhone 6 and above have VoLTE support. The 5s has the hardware required to do it but Apple has decided not to enable it. Digi is unable to enable VoLTE for other devices right now because VoLTE unlike LTE, requires carrier and manufacture certification and testing for it to work. The reason iPhone was chosen is probably because iPhone does not have so many variations and has a unified system for pushing these updates required to enable it. Plus, it is probably one of the more popular devices too. Android, as much as I don't like to say it, is very fragmented. Digi is probably gonna target the most popular android phones for now which are probably Samsung's S-series and Note series.

With the old circuit switched voice calls over 2G and 3G, a dedicated bandwidth is reserved for the call until it is ended. With packet switched voice calls like VoLTE, there is no dedicated bandwidth reserved for the call. So packet switched calls are the future because they use the bandwidth spectrum more efficiently.

You do raise a point about VoLTE calls eating into your data quota. My opinion is that they should not but I'm not sure what Digi's official word on this is.

It is still available, just checked using my phone. I'm on the 'old' Digi 80 plan (Digi 78v 7GB all day + 3GB weekend).

normal back but mine 4g is still broken..

The offer re appeared. Probably is in response to Celcom new packages.

The official word from Digi is that VoLTE does not count against your monthly internet quota.

It uses different APN which is free of charge .....

My iphone 6s plus still remain on 4G signal when receiving call from my friends using android phone from Maxis and Celcom

But currently the call will be like this.
For example DiGi user with volte call to YES 4G VoLTE

DiGi user --> DiGi IMS -- > DiGi 2G/3G network ---> YES 4G Gateway -- > YES 4G IMS --- YES 4G user
and both side will using VoLTE 100000000% for sure.

DiGi IMS network connects to other IMS network will be real after this, for better call setup advantages and saving TDM costs.
FYI, government previously still forcing telcos to use TDM for interconnection between telcos.
FYI, ZTE is ZTE. Many issues comes due to legacy 2G/3G/CSFB network. I cannot tell more at here

A big wrong.

EPC/PGW detect this when user register VoLTE via different APN (which is "ims" for U Mobile, DiGi and Yes 4G, im not sure whether this is standard APN for all VoLTE in the world or no). Then phone will perform SIP registration to IMS network.
Calling will cause phone trigger SIP calling to ANY numbers, as long as the number exist (999 and 112 are still pending MCMC standard).
VoLTE and Wifi calling all using SIP call. A SIP call wont check where is the destination or even the destination is fix line, or mobile or VoLTE or no. The call just go through.
If i am U Mobile and U are digi, and u can know my subscriber using VoLTE or no then GG ad lo me
but end to end HD voice capability can work if both parties agree on this
For example, DiGi VoLTE users ---> DiGi IMS ---> DiGi 23G ---> UM 3G ---> UM users (who phone support HD voice)
But ... slow slow wait.... government very slow at this.

talking about SIP call,
Did u see any skype call cant reach fix line/mobile phones?
Did u see any voip calls cant reach fix line/mobile phones due to they are SIP calling?
All legacy networks are accepting SIP INVITE and processing accordingly.
Those calls between MSCs and between OLOs are now using SIP protocol too(this one seldom, will implement soon).

And im holding iphone 6. I can call anyone using VoLTE (my signal wont drop to 3G).
And also Im part of the VoLTE testing. Im sure how DiGi core network/IMS network works.

Im not sure bout this... but normal call is 64kbps dedicated bandwidth... i think HD voice is more to the kHz the audio is captured? even though 3G HD voice also got 6.xx kbps

Currently digi maxis umobile celcom using 12.65kbps for HD voice codec bit.... and UM normal call using 12.2kbps... tat is y UM calls will be only slightly difference between HD call and normal call in its 3G network

which model you having?
I got iphone 7+ not working with volte
but iphone 6+ working with volte

both 10.1 and carrier 26.1

and how long you insert your digi sim to your iphone.
DiGi has to enable your sim to VoLTE enabled and send u a sms that your number is activated VOLTE.

Using different APN when you perform registration and making calls. And the billing only charges my3g APN instead of VoLTE punya APN
Previously, when u make a call, the signal will drop to 3G. Actually it is quite insecure as the fallback to 3G steps are not guarantee.
Of coz, our calls will drop to 3G if we make VoLTE calls where there is weak LTE coverage.
Perhaps telco wanna users consume data in 4G network instead of legacy 2/3G network.
Soon the 2G and 3G will be dead also

My opinion is it is just because iphone brand supported VoLTE devices amount has the most among DiGi network. Followed by Samsung.
They already finished test with samsung and going to live anytime

That is why im totally disagree any of his point Never mind, we learn new thing

OH YES PLEASE! Any chance that you can give an estimated timeline? Btw, can I ask why does Digi not display 4G+ when connected to LTE-A when Maxis and Celcom does. I talking about the S7 Edge.

This post has been edited by jack2001: Oct 27 2016, 09:32 PM

you sure u connected to LTE-A?
you sure u get 100mbps above when connect only 4G?
What is ur edge model?

I only tested 100mbps above with iphone 7+ only I believe the phone is support LTE-A
will not certified 100mbps below as LTE-A as long as the phone din show 4G+ or iphone(stupid iphone!!!)

launch date for S7 edge user?
Did u receive SMS that your number activated VoLTE? If yes, then it will come real soon.
Else need to wait lo

DiGi activate user profile based on the device they used

I know I am connected to LTE-A as I checked through the phone hidden menu. Plus, look at my signature, it is over 100mbps. Any theories behind why this is?
