Digicel announced that it has enabled HD Voice for all customers using a compatible 3G/4G or LTE smartphone at no additional cost. The technology makes for a much- improved calling experience and requires both the caller and receiver to be connected to the Digicel 4G or LTE network in order to benefit from this enhanced feature.
The technology works by extending the frequency range of audio signals transmitted over the Digicel mobile network, resulting in a higher-quality listening experience. HD Voice makes it easier to recognise voices, distinguish confusing word or sounds and understand accented speakers.
Persons with impaired hearing can also benefit from this improved clarity.
According to Digicel Jamaica CEO David Butler, "HD Voice is an important technology to the advancement of our customers' network experience. For Digicel, it keeps us ahead as Jamaica's most advanced mobile network, always delivering innovation for the benefit of our customers."
The introduction of HD Voice marks another key milestone in Digicel's ongoing upgrade and expansion of its mobile network. In June, the company also launched Jamaica's first LTE network, delivering never-before-seen mobile data speeds up to 10 times faster.
Thoughts?
P.S. For anyone asking, this is the same HD Voice on T-Mobile USA's 3G/4G network (as well as Vodafone, O2, EE, Orange, T-Mobile Europe). Note this is NOT VoLTE, simply HD Voice (A good subsititute for VoLTE while they increase LTE capable handsets on their network). Check your phone's compatibility. iPhone 5 and up should be compatible as well as the Galaxy S3 and up. Give it a try or take note of the difference between a Digicel to FLOW call vs. Digi to Digi AMR-WB call.
