What Is Voice Call Continuity (VCC)?

Voice call continuity (VCC) is like the best friend you never knew you had. It's a companion that follows your every move and helps you get through life more easily. We all have friends who are there for us when we need them most. What if one day, they made a move to a different city? Or decided to take up rock climbing? Or joined a cult? What would happen to our friendship then? Imagine if, instead of just switching cities, adopting a new hobby, or joining a cult, your friend turned into an entirely different person. They no longer looked like they used to, sounded like they used to, or even thought like they used to. Would it feel strange to say "Hey" after so long? Would you be able to recognize each other at all? Imagine having this conversation entirely with someone whose voice differed from yours. How would that go over? Probably not well! That's precisely what happens when your phone switches from one network to another during a call: it loses continuity in connection with whoever else is on the line. You want it to go through when you're trying to make a call, right? Sometimes, that's different. You get dropped calls or poor-quality sound. What's going on here? The answer might be as simple as your network connection. When you make a phone call, it must move between different networks to transmit data from one place to another. Sometimes these networks use other technologies to send and receive information, like circuit-switched and packet-switched domains! This means that if you're in one field (like a cell phone tower) but trying to connect with someone in another (like a Wi-Fi hotspot), there might be trouble ahead. Don't worry! You can do something about this problem: move into the same domain as your call recipient. For example, if they're using Wi-Fi and you're using cellular data, switch over so that both of you are using Wi-Fi instead!
