That would be like no other product/carrier that uses wifi calling ever. I could understand if it were all iPhones handled it that way but popping in Tmobile sim full bars I get wifi calling all day. Another poster isn't having that issue

Why is it such an issue? Seems to me that staying on cellular unless the cell signal was crappy and have it fall over to wifi is an ideal solution...but then I've only had the wifi calling less than 3 hours...
Even AT&T seems to mention "Remember, Wi-Fi Calling is only used if your cellular signal is weak or unavailable." in their FAQ at https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/f..._teasertab2_faqcontainer_faqcontent_faqitem_2
Seems like that's how it's spelled out by the carriers in their information, like the linked AT&T information in an earlier reply, for example.
Anyone knows if app updates getting stuck (i.e. not installing properly) is fixed in iOS 9.3? The iOS 9.2.1 made this much better for me, but some are still seeing this issue – it seems rather wide spread:

Thanks for your opinion, and the user written article that was provided. That's probably correct. I will wait for updated info from Verizon when available.
Well, again, at least in the case of AT&T (given that AT&T was referenced in a post you made about all of this earlier), it seems that it's not really my opinion, but stated information directly from AT&T, as quoted and referenced/linked in my earlier reply at https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...lic-beta-testers.1955637/page-4#post-22557150
That is indeed how it works on AT&T. Wi-Fi calling does not kick in until you hit 2 bars. Otherwise it is cellular.
Various people have reported being able to do that with this beta.
I just turned off my network extender and it shows Wi-Fi in the top left. I am on Verizon.
Wi-Fi calling was a new feature released with the iPhone 6, so it would have to be an iPhone 6 or newer to use it.

I have 2-3 'dots' on verizon in my house and am told half the time that I'm 'garbled'. I end up having to go out on the porch to clear it up.
Huh. I didn't see this option on iTunes, so I assumed that it was new. Do you know how to get it to work with iTunes?

Read the bottom of the article
yes, it is! My iPad suffered from this, but now is fixed.
Notes are probably more likely in general to potentially contain more sensitive information as far as plenty of people likely storing some financial numbers in them or some identity related information or some username/password information (as bad as that is). I guess they have to start somewhere.
