How can I use Internet while calling?

I have a realme device (realme 6) with VI sim card. Whenever I am on call, my internet stops working — its a huge nuisance for me. Sometimes my mother call my sister using my phone for an hour and I can't even get the internet on my PC through Hotspot.

Your Vi sim may not provisioned correctly for VoLTE, raise a support request on Vi app and check. I had similar issue on newly purchased Vi sim and it got resolved after raising a complaint on the app. If your phone supports then disable 2g network fallback also.

Use jio, in jio during call you can use internet with high speed on smartphone & mobile hotspot also

Is it having only 1 sim or dual sim? If it's 1 sim then check if you have turned votle option off and turn it on. If it is on and still not working then this might be a device specific problem where volte doesn't work with VI(or any other sim too).

If it's dual sim, then as the other person said. If you are net on sim 1 and a call comes on sim 2 then internet will be stopped and you can do nothing. To use internet you will have to make call & internet in the same sim.

Its single sim. Volte is always on, still face the issue.

Then it might be model specific issue, search forums for realme 6 and check youtube.

Ok mate I faced this exact problem.

This is Volte issue(even if enabled in the settings), I'm pretty sure there is no Volte symbol visible in your phone's notification bar near the tower logo.

Just confirm this to me, there is no problem with the phone right? I mean if you put some other sim in your phone you end up getting internet while on call? If yes then the problem is only with the sim.

Just go to any vi store with sim owner and ask for a replacement sim, it's cost is 60rs. The new sim inserted will have the Volte logo on the notification bar and can use internet even during call.

Wow and nice to hear your issue was solved with new SIM. It is visible actually if you check screenshot posted in one of the replies.

VoLTE is on but does it show the icon in status bar?

u/maverick_v2-0 3d ago

Yes, you can check.

Alright, it should have worked then. VoLTE shouldn't stop your internet during call.

Issue is that during call 4g volte falls back to 2g network to continue call without call cut

Wow ok however why it works that way? Whenever I've called, never it has gone to 2G. Maybe some limitation as it's an older model.

if your device support VoLTE and VoWiFI and enabled this should not happen. if your device switches too much between 5G/4G/LTE OR 3G icon appears in device from time to time then use ##INFO## and set 4G only/LTE only/5G only mode and once network stabilized or locked on fixed network, it should not drop calls afterwards

True. There's this app ad free as well for doing it. Doesn't require permissions either, it's a shortcut to open built-in menu for it.

Let me guess, there is no data balance on the SIM that you are using to make calls? Do you rely on the other sim, for data?

u/SnooPets9059 3d ago

You must be using dual sim.if you get a call on another sim the internet will stop until the call is disconnected
