Yeah that is great and AT&T still does not provide the HD Audio service in the LA area go Google about it. The option existed for over 4 years and still it is not in LA.
Got a tip for us?

So I called Verizon and they enabled Advanced Calling, but it still won't work. I've tried to enable voice and data under cellular, but the circle just keeps spinning.
I've rebooted several times and try to turn it on again, sometimes it says to call Verizon when I try to hit voice and data and other times the circle will just keep spinning.
Any ideas?

I was, when i tried to activate Advanced Calling it failed but when i went back and looked it says the feature was added and i was able to select voice + data
Mine did same thing give it a few it should change to a check I rebooted mine when I got the spinning wheel and when I went back in it was checked and I confirmed I made a call to my fax line and surfed Google all while on lte and wireless disabled my guess it needs to provisioned. The phone number and features are all tied in with your device Mac when it's provisioned / activated
No idea if EE have it, but I'm on Three so would love them to get onto it. Especially as they are the only ones to offer unlimited data.
Yeah I asked the same thing on an earlier post. I was able to do voice and data at the same time here in Australia when the iPhone 3G was around. Even when the iPhone 5 came out with LTE you could do both things simultaneously here.
I did. Had to keep selecting it and going to my Verizon page by it finally stuck. I was in Westchester County when I started the process and it didn't stick for good until I got into NYC proper.
I've got unlimited data and added it w/o an issue. Took a few minutes once enabled on the device, but has worked fine since; no other changes to account took place.
Works on TMobile, and every phone I call too. This one, I called my landline, and a friend of mine just called me from a Verizon iPhone5 and it worked too! lol
I don't know that I have ever defended (or maybe even commended) ATT, but they definitely got this right. Voice and data at the same time has been excellent. To the point that I don't even realize it's a 'feature.' Just part of the background of life with a smartphone.
If you make a call and the "LTE" indicator in the upper left doesn't disappear, then it's VoLTE.
Question for people using VoLTE:
Does this increase the quality of calls to land lines too? For example, if you call your bank and speak to an agent, does it sound crisp and clear the way it does on a land line, without the typical "cel phone" distortion?

AT&T's service still hasn't recovered from the blow of the iPhone .thank goodness other carriers have it.
I want to say landlines do sound quite a bit better over VoLTE. It could be the placebo effect though. I'd be curious to see what others think.
VoLTE to VoLTE calls, by the way, sound fantastic. I'm really not exaggerating much when I say it sounds 10x clearer – it's kind of like being in the same room (Good FaceTime Audio and Skype-to-Skype calls sound similar.)
you know - i thought the same thing while reading the article. HA!
Although, I am not a fan of Att and there restrictions to unlimited data users.
For the umpteenth time, AT&T does not have VoLTE, which is simultaneous audio and data over LTE network. AT&T does have simultaneous audio and data over 3G network, however.
AT&T is planning on rolling them out sometime in 2015, but then again AT&T promised HD Audio in early this year and it still hasn't been deployed.
CDMA was good when it first started. That's why they have the most subscribers now. But I do think this will make people drop calls more unless they have LTE absolutely everywhere with no holes in the network. If not, people will most likely switch to AT&T.

That's weird. I work for Verizon and you are supposed to actually talk to a representative to add the feature because it's still in testing phases. That was as of last week, though. I'll have to ask my manager to see about it. When we were first launching it we were told they would have to come in so we could make sure those that wanted to try it knew that it was in testing and that there could possibly be problems, especially in areas like where I live and when you leave town it goes in and out of 3G and LTE.
----------
AT&T does not have this yet....They do not have VoLTE.
----------
Did they tell you it was an immediate affect or that they future dated the change? I would call back or go into a store to see. I haven't done this for anyone at my store yet, mostly because we have the older generation in our area. They don't even know what LTE is.
----------
VoLTE is something completely different. Depending on the phones with Verizon determined if you could do voice and data at the same time. The iPhones couldn't with Verizon, but other phones could. Just depended on what chips were in the phone. Now the iPhone can do both voice and data including VoLTE. I don't know if that makes sense or not. haha.
----------
I don't know if it will affect your unlimited data, but there's an actual feature they have to add for VoLTE to work. As far as I know, it shouldn't affect your data plan. I could be wrong, though. I would have to check.
----------
No. It will only work if the other phone is VoLTE capable too.
----------
VoLTE is a new thing. It stands for "Voice over LTE". It's HD calling. It just so happens to let iPhones do data and voice at the same time too since it's not using the typical CDMA for voice. Don't know if that makes sense. Anyway, some phones on Verizon could do data and voice before now, just not the iPhone.
