Verizon's Voice over technology will allow consumers to easily browse the Internet when it's released later this year.
According to a press release, the VoLTE technology, which will launch on the company's nationwide network, is slated to offer sound in high-definition.
"Choosing a national rollout on the nation's largest 4G LTE network, Verizon can deliver a seamless customer experience for high-quality calling and other features," the company said in the statement. "From the beginning, Verizon's VoLTE service will offer an HD Voice experience, using the AMR-wideband standard, the accepted industry norm for this service. This solution provides the best voice quality available now and allows for future interoperability with others using the standard."
Verizon's new service includes video calling options, directly making and receiving video calls from digital address books. Consumers can also switch between using voice and video when on calls. Transferring big files, advanced group messaging, are future possibilities.
"We have said Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is coming in 2014 and we will have HD Voice using the AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) wideband codec, which we believe will be the industry norm, as part of VoLTE," Verizon spokeswoman Debra Lewis told Computer World at the time of AT&T's announcement.
AT&T launches its own voice over technology Friday in select areas of Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Rockford, Chicago, and Kankakee-Bradley, Ill., have already been named as specific municipalities that will receive the service.
Voice over users need a high definition handset and a cellular base station at the bottom of a cell tower - this transmits the HD signal to the device, according to Computer World.
An AT&T spokeswoman previously told Computer World the addition gives consumers a smooth technology experience.
"As demand for speed, connectivity and enhanced wireless services grows, the introduction of HD Voice on our all-IP 4G LTE network is just another way we're working to provide our customers with the enhanced services they need, while also effectively utilizing our spectrum," the spokeswoman said.
