Returning to the fray, state-run telecom operator BSNL announced the launch of India’s first general internet telephony service that will allow users to call any number in India without a SIM card.

The calls will be facilitated via BSNL’s mobile app “Wings”.

Up until now, internet calls were possible only within users of particular apps, and not on telephone numbers in general.

Wings will also be available for PC

The new service will be particularly useful for those who have poor mobile network connections, but have access to the internet via any wi-fi network.

Video calling is supported and will be available between Wings users, and the internet-based calling service will reportedly also be available for use on a computer, thereby allowing for added functionality.
