Maybe try using Google and not make other people do your research for you. You ought to be well versed on the ComScore figures by now.

Guess what, the guy posted the claim.. it was his responsibility to show his sources in the first place.

I don't know what you're getting at with your second sentence. Maybe chill the eff out, pal. Thanks.

Normally I might agree that the guy posting a claim should cite sources, but in this case he's dealing with common knowledge for any reader of this site, not to mention he's referring to stuff you could Google in 10 seconds. If you aren't a reader of this site you need to read up a bit before posting so that you can make an informed contribution.

Of course the lack of emotional control in your second paragraph suggests you really don't have much to offer.
 
I think the story editor had a brainfart.

VoLTE is dependent on cellphone and carrier support. It doesnt matter if it's calling a landline or a cellphone, or what wireless carrier the cellphone being called is on.
 
So are you telling me that iPhone 6/6 Plus on your faultless Verizon Wireless, the same carrier that puts a tracking tag on every web requests, lets you connected to LTE everywhere you go? If so, good for you.

But here in northern California, my wife's work phone is on Verizon's 4G (not LTE) at least third of the time so enabling VoLTE would mean frequent dropped calls.
What's Verizon's 4G? They basically have 3G/EVDO and LTE (not counting 1x for regular calls and texts).

To be fair I'm not sure how common knowledge something like that is, even for those who read this site and others like it. Looking it up probably wouldn't take much time, but that doesn't mean that you should necessarily know all things of that nature beforehand nor that it's wrong to ask to someone to support a number they mention (even the rules of this very site refer to that).
 
Not everyone's network implementation will be as half-assed as TMobiles. Don't worry.

You do realize that Verizon's currently implementation drops if you leave LTE coverage. T-Mobile can hand it off to wifi calling or HSPA.

So it seems like VZW has the half-assed implementation...

Yep. T-Mobile was ahead of the pack on this one.

Indeed. T-Mobile rolled out VoLTE across all of their LTE coverage nationwide within a few months of testing it in Seattle. I have it even here in little ol' Ozark, Missouri.

Works great. Seamless handoff between Wi-Fi Calling, LTE and HSPA, which given T-Mo's very spotty LTE coverage, is necessary.
 
Hmmm you left out sprint.

Sprint left themselves out. I don't think they're trying at all anymore. T-Mobile has better coverage in some areas than AT&T or Verizon, and they're generally in the same league as the other two when they aren't the leader. I don't think the same can be said of Sprint anywhere... I don't think they're even in the same league in most places.
 
But they could be at some point..

Doubtful. Charging voice calls over the LTE network as if they are data would be utterly confusing for consumers. How many MB per minute would a call be? No need for carriers to go there with LTE voice calls.

:confused: The only 4G network Verizon has is LTE..

I don't know if you two are being sarcastic or dumb, but yes, I know that 4G is LTE but iPhone displays HSPA+, which is technically 3G, as "4G" and LTE as "LTE".

Not sure why you are pointlessly throwing out insults, but there is no HSPA+ (or even HSPA) when it comes to Verizon's CDMA network.
 
Close to 50% of phones in the U.S. are iPhones. In my network of people, it is far higher. I think your "almost nobody" comment is the one in fantasy world.

Only about 66% of US mobile phones are smartphones so that seems pretty unlikely.
 
AT&T and Verizon (the 2 biggest telecom companies) are on-board. They just need the others to pay up or get left out of the profit party and I'm sure the party fee is pretty hefty.

Not in general. The telcos decide what is displayed for which network so the display matches their (deceiving) branding.

My iPhone (on Vodafone in Europe) shows 3G for HSPA+ and 4G for LTE.
 
Hmmm you left out sprint. I believe both verizon and AT&T are trying to work with other carriers since the svc would almost be worthless otherwise. The big question is what's the status on tmobile and sprint volte roll out.

T-Mobile was rolling it out May of 2014:
