I also enabled it on iOS 9 public beta. When I got my 6S, I could enable it even before I restored my backup. Once enabled, it appears to be associated with the phone number. I live in S. Florida and I was able to use it in Vermont and Martha's Vineyard, MA while on trips there.

AT&T Delays Wi-Fi Calling Support Amid Wait for FCC Waiver, Calls Out Sprint and T-Mobile

I don't know where to find if my city has VoLTE. Do you know how?
I don't know how to fix it but it never switches right.
Actually, it's the FCC that sucks. Ajit Pai claimed that the carriers would be screwed if the "oppressive" net neutrality regulations were enacted. Yet, here they are, stopping AT&T from improving its core business.
Poor Att. Always playing by the book yet getting called out and picked on. Middle school is so unfair 
Only thing about wi-fi calling (at least as T-Mobile implements it) is I'm suspicious it causes some dropped calls, simply due to routing issues out to their servers from your wi-fi router or access point?
I've noticed at home, where my signal indoors with T-Mobile is a little sketchy, my iPhone will select wi-fi calling randomly, about half the time I take or make a call on it. When it's on, I've had my fair share of suddenly interrupted calls where the other party felt certain it was my end that dropped. (No way to be sure - especially when they were typically on a cellphone too. But often, you have some idea which end dropped based on where a person is with their phone at the time, etc.)
My broadband connection (100mbit via Comcast) is pretty solid, so can't blame that part of it -- and I have strong wireless signals throughout the house too (3 Airport Extremes strategically placed around the house and in the garage, bridged together as range extenders to the main one). These dropped calls happen while I'm sitting in the same room, so can't even say it's the Airport's fault for mishandling switching me between Airport Extremes as I move around the house.

You should seriously call AT&T and request to speak to a manager and tell them this verbatim. They should do you a favor and enable Wi-Fi calling on your line as a courtesy. I'd be shocked if they couldn't do that for you. The number of times I'd do what you've been doing is precisely zero. You must have the patience of Job.
You're going to be seeing a whole lot more of that. I have a 1 Gbps fiber connection at my home through AT&T. I usually average about 930 Mbps up and down. Came in really handy the other day downloading El Capitan. I downloaded the 6 GB file in about one minute.
That's awesome. I'll keep it on the radar. We just doubled ours from 15 to 30 mbps and I thought that was a big deal.You're going to be seeing a whole lot more of that.

If you're in Kentucky, you may not have the coverage needed for proper hand-off. In the script you accepted as part of the setup of WiFi Calling, it states to hand-off properly VoLTE is needed.
Here is a coverage map. www.att.com/maps/wireless-coverage.html
Here is the test. While you're on a call, do you see 4G or do you see LTE at the top left. If you see LTE, you are in an area supported by VoLTE. The handoff should work.
How much is it?You're going to be seeing a whole lot more of that. I have a 1 Gbps fiber connection at my home through AT&T. I usually average about 930 Mbps up and down. Came in really handy the other day downloading El Capitan. I downloaded the 6 GB file in about one minute.
STILL Works for me on iPhone 6 iOS 9.1 Beta 3 the key is DONT Disable/change WiFi settings and stick mostly to Beta if you can
MicroCell's are ONLY Free in certain rare circumstances.
Like if you live in the coverage area but can prove consistent 1 bar or "no service" , consistent hugely excessive amounts of dropped calls like 1000 dropped ( 1 to 2 minute ) calls to the same number(s) in a day/week
( just an exaggerated example ) and inability to even connect to 911
I've heard of a few people legit getting their MCell for free.
I got mine hugely discounted
( reimbursement in the form of bill credits for all but $20 of the MCell cost )
As for MCell service it is by no means a guaranteed absolute fix! Still depends on your ISP connection, provider and other factors and the connection can go in/out and be prone to other issues.
With the issues I had I was able to get my "Unlimited MicroCell Calling" feature for like only $2 each month after billing credits/adjustments for 8 of the 10 months I had it and waited for network upgrades in my area.
The iPhone line also performed steadily and notably better on AT&T in my area over each new model from 3GS to 6 vs any other phones I'd used/owned prior
Just saying
I have the unlimited plan from Cingular and still do from ATT. Many others are still grandfathered into the plan. Why don't you have it?
I have used Micro Cell for several years now, it is not perfect, but better than the signal from the tower just 1 mile from my home, especially for my downstairs office.
That said, WiFi is a far better solution for the hearing enabled (99% of ATT subscribers I suspect). I have used WiFi calling on ATT for a few weeks now on Public Beta iOS9 and not 9.1. It is fantastic, far clearer (and no dropouts) than even VoLTE.
Once ATT supports this on GA versions of iOS (my wife is not a risk taker), and Samsung S5 (my sone is a rebel), I would gladly donate my MicroCell to any hearing impaired people who might benefit from it...else, it goes in the eWaste.
Except in Phoenix, Chicago, and several other markets where T-mobile doesn't own the Band 12 spectrum. Its still really ****** service here (iPhone 6, downtown Phoenix, sub-1mbps LTE speeds, EDGE or worse service indoors).
