iPhone iOS 8 Beta 4 - Phone Call Issue

Wait so in FacTime settings you changed your caller id from the phone number to an email address?
Thanks. Well I am not sure why but I do not have that option for calls. Only can enable and disable facetime.
I am having a ton of phone app issues with Beta 2 though latest version beta 4.
my phone rings but there's no phone screen. 1/2 the time the answer button doesn't work no matter how many times you press it. If you multi-task occasionally the green bar to get you back to phone is gone with no way to get it back.
thankfully I don't use my phone much, but when I do I have very low success. otherwise most other things with Beta 4 have gotten better.

If you're on Rogers try using the one number app. This is my workaround until beta 5 or a carrier settings update. For me the battery drain is better than missing all my calls...

This is a APN issue for sure, the IP5 and IP5s needs to jump back to HSPA+ for phone calls and something is not triggering the switch properly.
I had lunch with my old dev boss, asked him if he's received any calls this week and he said it's been a quiet week, strangely no one has called. So I told him Rogers / Fido has an issue with incoming calls on iOS8 B4, he laughed and thought I was just messing with him. So I called him on speakerphone ... his face turned pale white and he dropped his spoon. Apparently he's been waiting for a very important call, which I didn't find funny at all and felt his pain. He's one of those ppl who doesn't use VM much and had turned off the notifications.
