Christopher,

If you get a chance, can you test the call from your captive portal and see 
what happens?  Don't make any heroic effeorts, but I would be very curious to 
see what happens.

Todd

I don't see that the service has improved all that much.  I'm still running the 
beta program, so I'm currently on iOS 9.1 beta 5 I think.  However, I don't 
really do calls a whole lot.  It's been a few days according to the call log.

I can only watch the bandwidth usage when I'm on the phone at my desk.  It 
tends to start in the low 40kbps area and climb up from there.  I've not seen 
one hit triple digits yet.

We do have a captive portal and honestly I've not tried wifi calling when stuck 
in there yet.  If it uses DNS it will break at this point in time, but if they 
have a list of hard coded IP address in the phone software it will still work.  
Our captive portal is strictly DNS smoke and mirrors.

Now that you mention it, I do remember it asking for an address and giving me a 
warning in ALL CAPS for 911.
