Apple Releases iOS 9.2 With Safari View Controller Improvements, AT&T NumberSync Support and Bug Fixes

Does anybody know if AT&T NumberSync works while abroad?
I would love to be abroad with my iPhone turned off and still be able to make and receive calls using my U.S. number on my Mac. In theory, they shouldn't charge roaming since the call truly is VoIP since my Mac can't even ping a carrier's tower. I have a feeling that they either will charge roaming or NumberSync will only work when the Mac is in the U.S. or Puerto Rico per Location Services. I should've read the terms more closely.

FINALLY. What was the deal with this.

They released a buggy beta 4 to the public? That's a new low.
Beta 4 is the same build as the public. And it's been weeks since beta 4 was released.What?
Yes, this is 9.2.
I did reduce transparancy, doesn't help. Even if it would help, it's not acceptable because it makes iOS 9 ugly and it worked fine with iOS 8.4.1.
Apple should make iOS better, not worse.
You should if the build is different.
What?
Yep, 20 days later we get the same build. Because they waited for no reason.
AWESOME. Thanks for letting us know. I wasn't going to install if the update broke f.lux.
That's what I was afraid of. The fine print at the bottom of the NumberSync page on AT&T's site talks about international long distance calls but says nothing about roaming, oddly enough:
*NumberSync: Requires compatible devices. Your smartphone must be on an AT&T postpaid wireless account and set up for HD Voice. Visit att.com/hdvoice for information. NumberSync requirements, features and functionality may vary by device type and manufacturer. Charges: Within U.S., Puerto Rico and U.S.V.I. (Domestic Coverage Area): domestic calls made/received using NumberSync have no additional charge and won’t count against plan usage limits. Your international rates apply to international long distance calls. Due to technical limitations, calls via NumberSync cannot be used with TTY devices or to initiate calls to 211, 311, 511, or 811. NumberSync will not support 911 TTY calls. Instead, dial 911 with a TTY from a wireless phone on a cellular network or landline phone; or text 911 directly, where available; or call 911 through relay service using TTY or IP CTS from a wireless phone on a cellular network or landline phone; or use IP Relay or IP CTS from a capable device. Visit att.com/numbersync for more information.
They waited to make sure there were no release blocking issues, as is fairly typical in the world of software engineering. (Factoring in a holiday week in there as well on top of it all and perhaps even not releasing iOS last week simply to do it together with OS X which wasn't ready until this week.)
There is nothing to 'upgrade' to. Its the same exact build. Unless you just want to restore.

Very boring update, but I would be satisfied if the bugs are fixed and performance improved, since this seems too much to ask from Apple for the past several years.
However, I do like this: "- iBooks now supports listening to an audiobook while you browse your library, read other books, or explore the iBooks Store." Stupid that it didn't work this way in the first place though.

But still, that's unusual for Apple to release a beta to the public, unless it's a GM.
In the sense that they haven't done that much before, seems to be, but in the sense of a beta build being deemed as being fine to be the GM (which rarely exist for x.y updates) and thus the final release, not that unusual as far as general software release processes go.
