Frequently asked questions and common terms in Wireless Telephony
Mobile Number Portability ( MNP ) - Keep the number while switching carrier
To promote the competition the idea of Mobile Number Portability was introduced. If you feel to switch the carrier but do not want to lose the phone number then MNP is a big relief as u can switch to other carrier without changing the number.

Long term Evoluation (LTE) and Voice over LTE
I have seen many questions regarding LTE and VoLTE. Users asked if they can upgrade from LTE to VoLTE. The both technologies are not in competition but the VoLTE is a solution for voice over LTE network. Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard is for high-speed data access while VoLTE for the voice calls over LTE network.
The VoLTE was delayed in most of the cases because the LTE operators who had existing GSM( say 2G), UMTS( 3G) or both, kept on providing the voice services by switching to their old network, the method is called Circuit Switch Fall Back.
Nowadays if u are spending high amount for the new smartphone then check if your new device can support VoLTE to keep flexibility as there are few carriers who have VoLTE only network. Also, the LTE operators with an older infrastructure of 3G and 2G expand the network only with LTE and VoLTE for voice so in few area the voice calls may suffer.
You can check in the setting options if the device supports VoLTE. when calls are made using VoLTE service then 'HD Voice' is visible on the screen. Also, you can search an app which can validate the VoLTE support info for the device.
Since VoLTE feature is not available on all the devices and its possible for everyone to purchase a new phone so LTE only operators provide Over the top application to make voice call even the device does not support VoLTE.
