Verizon Wireless plans to give its prepaid subscribers access to VoLTE services, including HD Voice and video calls in the near future.
Prepaid customers will need to add HD Voice to their account before they can make HD calls, but the add-on will be free. Calls will be billed by the minute, even though they are routed over the LTE data network rather than Verizon’s legacy voice network.
HD Voice supports six-way conference calls, one- or two-way video calls, and WiFi calling. As always, both the handset making the call and the handset receiving the call need to have the feature enabled and must be connected via LTE for HD Voice to function properly.
Verizon said it anticipates launching HD Voice for its prepaid customers early this fall.
