Bell and Virgin rolled out HD Voice to most of Canada last January. This feature gave customers who owned various devices “better quality, clearer voice service experience.” There is no cost to have this feature and makes for an overall better voice experience. There were only couple provinces omitted from the initial launch, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. This was most likely due to the limited agreements between SaskTel and MTS.
However, good news for those located in Saskatchewan as HD Voice is now live in your area. This impacts both Bell and Virgin customers and again, no cost, just better voice quality. In order to use HD voice both callers must be either a Bell or Virgin customer, have a HD Voice compatible device and within the 4G HSPA+ coverage area. Here’s the complete list of compatible devices:
– Motorola MOTOLUXE
– HTC One S
– HTC One V
– HTC Raider 4G LTE
– BlackBerry Bold 9900
– Nokia C6
– Nokia C6-01
– HTC Sensation
– HTC Incredible S
If you’ve experienced HD Voice, let us know what you think about it. Have you noticed a difference?
