RE: An Update for A T & T Wireless Customers with an Unlimited Data Plan, Regarding WiFi Calling

[M. Taylor]

Hello Regina,

Question:
Will my phone switch to cellular when I am out of my home automatically?

Answer:
For all intent and purposes, yes.  Keep in mind that just because you enable 
the feature does not mean that the feature will be active at any given time.  
The feature is only active should your cell signal degrade to the extent that 
it cannot be used reliably.  

Question:
Is the quality better?

Answer:
That, as with many things in life, is a matter of opinion and available local 
technology.  This feature is not intended to provide enhanced call quality, per 
say, but to keep you connected in order to make and receive calls and text 
messages.

Question:
Is my number the same for both cellular and wifi?

Answer:
Yes.

Good Luck and Enjoy,

Mark

I am with sprint, but I can take advantage of the wifi calling. A couple of 
questions. Will my phone switch to cellular when I am out of my home 
automatically? Is the quality better? Is my number the same for both cellular 
and wifi? I started to go through the steps to do it, but I wimped out because 
I have unlimited talk and did not figure out the answers to the foregoing 
questions anywhere.

Hello Ray,

On  which iPHone model did you attempt to activate WiFi calling?  

Also, generally speaking of course, in which area of the USA do you reside?

I ask because, on the A T & T Wireless platform, you may only activate WiFi 
calling on the iPhone 6 series or higher.  Also, LTE cell service must be 
available in your area.  

Finally, you must have access to both the LTE signal and an active compatible 
WiFi connection in order to enable the feature.

No, it is available in all areas and it is only subject right now to the six

With AT only so far. This is a very disappointment, for a 5S users. I've been

RE: An Update for A T & T Wireless Customers with an Unlimited Data Plan, Regarding WiFi Calling

[M. Taylor]

Hello Ray,

If you simply took the A T & T SIM card from an iPhone 5 series device and 
placed it into your 6 Plus, it is very likely that A T & T Wireless is still 
showing the 5 series phone on your account; the 5 series is not permitted to 
use WiFi calling, at this time.  So, call A T & T Wireless, 800-331-0500, to 
make certain that the 6 Plus is now associated with your account.  Finally, if 
you call A T & T Wireless and your account is reflecting the 6 Plus, and you 
still cannot activate WiFi calling, then you will need to visit your local A T 
& T Wireless store and swap out the old SIM for a newer one as the older SIM 
cards do not play nicely with WiFi calling.

Please let us know what happens, okay?  

Mark

calling on the iPhone 6 series or higher.  Also, LTE cell service must be 
available in your area.  

Finally, you must have access to both the LTE signal and an active compatible 
WiFi connection in order to enable the feature.

No, it is available in all areas and it is only subject right now to the six 
and 6+ in 6S And 6+ S any phone below that it would not allow it to happen. 
With AT only so far. This is a very disappointment, for a 5S users. I've been

Hello, I'm not really for sure. That's really strange that it's not available 
in your area.

 Hello My Fellow A T & T Wireless Unlimited Data Plan Subscribers,
 
 I am delighted to report that, after paying a visit to my local A T & T 
 Wireless corporate store and after having concluded a 20 minute phone call 
 with A T & T Wireless technical billing support, I am comfortable stating 
 that there is absolutely no risk of voiding the unlimited data plan by 
 enabling WiFi calling.  
 
 When it's all said and done, the senior tech explained that, unlike the 
 hotspot service, WiFi calling does not require any line/account 
 provisioning, whatsoever.  In fact, after having spoken to the people at A 
 T & T, I now realize that WiFi calling has absolutely nothing to do with 
 the transmission of data.  Wifi calling only refers to voice calls and SMS 
 messages.  Be that as it may, and I was clear to state this to all of 
 those with whom I spoke, albeit graciously, that I don't trust A T & T 
 Wireless or any big company that continues to be fined by the FCC for 
 unfair practices designed to  limit the company's commitment to its 
 customers who purchased service in good faith.  
 
 By the way, I learned that A T & T only throttles data to its unlimited 
 data plan customers when they reach 23GB in a billing cycle and then only 
 at peak/congested times of the day, on a per cell tower basis.  That is to 
 say, that if a customer has reached the 23GB threshold and is having 
 his/her data throttled on cell tower A, because of high traffic 
 congestion, if the customer happens to move to cell tower B, and B is not 
 congested, data wil not be throttled.  
 
 The following is the text of an email I had A T & T Wireless email to me, 
 regarding WiFi calling:
 
 Do charges apply for Wi-Fi Calling?
 If you use Wi-Fi Calling to make or receive domestic calls from the U.S., 
 Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Islands, there are no extra charges. Also, 
 these calls don't count against your voice plan usage limits. For

Not sure if this has been mentioned .. but if you are making use of the 
"Voice Dial" feature that AT provided to the VI community a few years ago 
at no charge .. that will need to be discontinued.  It is not compatible 
with WiFi calling.  Spent several days getting things fixed on my

Hello Ray,

If you simply took the A T & T SIM card from an iPhone 5 series device and 
placed it into your 6 Plus, it is very likely that A T & T Wireless is still 
showing the 5 series phone on your account; the 5 series is not permitted to 
use WiFi calling, at this time.  So, call A T & T Wireless, 800-331-0500, to 
make certain that the 6 Plus is now associated with your account.  Finally, 
if you call A T & T Wireless and your account is reflecting the 6 Plus, and 
you still cannot activate WiFi calling, then you will need to visit your 
local A T & T Wireless store and swap out the old SIM for a newer one as the 
older SIM cards do not play nicely with WiFi calling.


Please let us know what happens, okay?

Mark

Not sure if this has been mentioned .. but if you are making use of the 
"Voice Dial" feature that AT provided to the VI community a few years ago 
at no charge .. that will need to be discontinued.  It is not compatible 
with WiFi calling.  Spent several days getting things fixed on my 
account

interesting I did not pull the card from the 5 the 6 plus which I got had a 
card.  I did a bit more poking around and the phone said wifi could not be 
turned on and that the account holder has to contact ATT so that's the next 
item up for bid this morning.

Hello Ray,

If you simply took the A T & T SIM card from an iPhone 5 series device and 
placed it into your 6 Plus, it is very likely that A T & T Wireless is still 
showing the 5 series phone on your account; the 5 series is not permitted to 
use WiFi calling, at this time.  So, call A T & T Wireless, 800-331-0500, to 
make certain that the 6 Plus is now associated with your account.  Finally, 
if you call A T & T Wireless and your account is reflecting the 6 Plus, and 
you still cannot activate WiFi calling, then you will need to visit your 
local A T & T Wireless store and swap out the old SIM for a newer one as the 
older SIM cards do not play nicely with WiFi calling.


Please let us know what happens, okay?

Mark

Hello My Fellow A T & T Wireless Unlimited Data Plan Subscribers,

I am delighted to report that, after paying a visit to my local A T & T 
Wireless corporate store and after having concluded a 20 minute phone call with 
A T & T Wireless technical billing support, I am comfortable stating that there 
is absolutely no risk of voiding the unlimited data plan by enabling WiFi 
calling.  

When it's all said and done, the senior tech explained that, unlike the hotspot 
service, WiFi calling does not require any line/account provisioning, 
whatsoever.  In fact, after having spoken to the people at A T & T, I now 
realize that WiFi calling has absolutely nothing to do with the transmission of 
data.  Wifi calling only refers to voice calls and SMS messages.  Be that as it 
may, and I was clear to state this to all of those with whom I spoke, albeit 
graciously, that I don't trust A T & T Wireless or any big company that 
continues to be fined by the FCC for unfair practices designed to  limit the 
company's commitment to its customers who purchased service in good faith.  

By the way, I learned that A T & T only throttles data to its unlimited data 
plan customers when they reach 23GB in a billing cycle and then only at 
peak/congested times of the day, on a per cell tower basis.  That is to say, 
that if a customer has reached the 23GB threshold and is having his/her data 
throttled on cell tower A, because of high traffic congestion, if the customer 
happens to move to cell tower B, and B is not congested, data wil not be 
throttled.  

The following is the text of an email I had A T & T Wireless email to me, 
regarding WiFi calling:

Do charges apply for Wi-Fi Calling?
If you use Wi-Fi Calling to make or receive domestic calls from the U.S., 
Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Islands, there are no extra charges. Also, these 
calls don't count against your voice plan usage limits. For international long 
distance calls, international rates from your current rate plan or 
international package apply.

If you use Wi-Fi Calling to send or receive domestic or international messages, 
you'll be charged based on your current rate plan or international package. 
These messages will also count against any usage limits.

Happy WiFi Calling To Us All,

Mark

Hello Ray,

On  which iPHone model did you attempt to activate WiFi calling?  

Also, generally speaking of course, in which area of the USA do you reside?

I ask because, on the A T & T Wireless platform, you may only activate WiFi 
calling on the iPhone 6 series or higher.  Also, LTE cell service must be 
available in your area.  

Finally, you must have access to both the LTE signal and an active compatible 
WiFi connection in order to enable the feature.

No, it is available in all areas and it is only subject right now to the six 
and 6+ in 6S And 6+ S any phone below that it would not allow it to happen. 
With AT only so far. This is a very disappointment, for a 5S users. I've been 
contemplating on calling them in complaining.

Hello Ray,

On  which iPHone model did you attempt to activate WiFi calling?  

Also, generally speaking of course, in which area of the USA do you reside?

I ask because, on the A T & T Wireless platform, you may only activate WiFi 
calling on the iPhone 6 series or higher.  Also, LTE cell service must be 
available in your area.  

Finally, you must have access to both the LTE signal and an active compatible 
WiFi connection in order to enable the feature.

Mark
