“VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is the feature that routes voice calls over a 4G LTE connection, a crucial function now that carriers worldwide are phasing out their 2G and 3G networks. Without it, you might not be able to make phone calls at all on many modern networks. Similarly, VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi) handles Wi-Fi calling, routing calls over a Wi-Fi network instead of cellular — a handy feature when you’re in a building with poor signal.”
Basically, some countries don’t have access to VoLTE or VoWIFI.
Since they don’t have official access they were using this to gain access (in places where pixel phones aren’t on the market/not sold in that country for instance).
If VoWIFi/wifi calling wasn’t available where I live I wouldn’t be able to use my cell phone to make and receive calls and texts while at home. My place is a dead zone.
Some places also have spotty 5G service. So VoLTE would work better in those areas too.
