ATT Wi-Fi calling works perfectly!

Just so you know, Wi-Fi calling is not free if you are traveling internationally.
Awe you ruined the surprise one month after the vacation when the $2,000 phone bill would arrive.
Turned on wi-Fi calling great clear sound. Funny part is goes so fast son's voice comes on and phone has not even rung yet. Was sort of weird.
Moderators, merge this with the many other threads about AT&T wifi calling. We don't need threads about how great a feature is when there's tons of threads claiming the same exact thing.
So true only one thread allowed saying something works well. But ok to have bunch of chip gate threads. How about combining those.
Try calling another att iPhone that's on 4g/lte and report back if it's still perfect.
The one time I did that today, yes it was much clearer than before. I was on wifi and son was in car on LTE, both AT&T. I had understood the benefits would only be seen if both were on wifi. However to my surprise this call was much clearer. Will keep monitoring.
Didn't experience that. Hope I won't
Thinking back about six months ago prior to Wi-Fi phone being on I did experience not being able to here other party. We were both on LTE. Cycling the data off fixed that back then. Did not repeat after about two weeks.
is there a way you can check with verizon and sprint and see if they say your device is compatible?
i have a t-mobile unlocked, and its failing verizon and sprint's imei checkers
i haven't actually had them try to activate it, i don't really want to sign up
i thought about returning it, but its been longer then 14 days
im thinking if i switched it out for a sim free, i would get the same response from verizon and sprint
A friend of mine had the Sim free version and activated on Verizon no problem. The Sim Free phone
is the better choice vs the T-Mobile unlocked.
As a side note if you bring the phone into Verizon Store they can get it activated. The IMEI is not listed on their system because its not a Verizon branded phone.

The work wifi is configured to not allow it for security reasons. The IT people at your work are not up to date. Good luck getting them to change settings.
So while traveling outside the USA, you can't flip the device into airplane mode, connect to Wi-Fi and made calls to USA? Or AT&T charges regular international rate for this?
T-Mo allows calls back to USA from abroad at no charge on Wi-Fi calling.
I read on here somewhere that some ports are not open automatically on some equipment. Has to be set. The airport has these open by default. Don't recall that the technical name. Hate routers and modems with a passion. Won't even go into the ordeal going to my own modem from Comcast rental.I am the IT People
Its an open wifi network inly difference between home an work network is the vendor of the router equipment
I get the welcome splash screen when I opt to turn on WiFi calling on my AT&T iPhone 6S+. However, when I get past the T&C page, I get a "Oops something went wrong and try again in a few minutes" error. Clicking OK takes me back to the T&C page and the endless loop continues. This has been ongoing for the past week and a half, no change at all.
Has anyone successfully enabled Wi-Fi Calling on their AT&T iPhone 5s? My brother has the 5s on iOS 9.0.2 and the option isn't even there. I'm confused because Apple lists the iPhone 5c and up as compatible.
Just to add on, it has worked consistently/reliably as well which was a personal concern since AT&T released it later than anticipated. Part of me thought they were using FCC regulations as an excuse because they didn't have it ready to go.
To test it out, I put my phone in airplane mode and just turned on Wi-Fi for the past 4 days while on my home and work networks. Not only can I make crystal clear calls but I get all my SMS messages perfectly and SMS forwarding still works fine with other apple devices.
