Not sure if this has been mentioned .. but if you are making use of the
"Voice Dial" feature that AT&T 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 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&T only so far. This is a very disappointment, for a 5S users. I've
been contemplating on calling them in complaining.

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