π Ensuring Great Call Quality
At Kiwi VoIP, delivering crystal-clear call quality is one of our top priorities. We use high-quality audio codecs and implement QoS (Quality of Service) tagging to prioritise your voice traffic across networks β ensuring your conversations sound as natural as possible.
π On-Net Calls (Kiwi VoIP to Kiwi VoIP)
When you're making calls between Kiwi VoIP numbers, we control both ends of the call. That means:
-
We automatically use HD audio codecs, like G.722, where supported
-
This results in clearer, fuller-sounding audio β ideal for internal business calls
π’ Make sure your device supports G.722 or other HD codecs to get the best possible experience
π Off-Net Calls (Calls to Other Networks)
For calls that go outside the Kiwi VoIP network (e.g. mobile, landline, or international), we use:
-
G.711a/u β the standard industry codec for carrier interconnects
-
QoS tagging β we mark voice traffic for priority handling wherever supported
While G.711 is not HD, it still provides very good voice quality and compatibility with nearly all phone networks worldwide.
π Get the Best Quality β Use Kiwi VoIP Internet
Using Kiwi VoIP broadband ensures optimal call performance:
-
We have full control of both voice and data traffic
-
QoS tags are guaranteed to be recognised and prioritised
-

β οΈ If you use a third-party internet provider, we cannot guarantee QoS tags will be honoured β this may affect call stability or audio quality during peak traffic times.
