Will 5se allow cellular data use during phone calls (on Verizon)?

[BillyBudd]

Before the iPhone 6, Verizon users couldn't simultaneously use cellular data and makes phone calls. Will the 5se allow it? If so, will it only be for LTE areas? I will occasionally still get a 3G signal on my phone--will that be a zone in which there is no data during phone calls?

Thanks!



PS: And to clarify, the problem usually isn't so much data during phone calls, I can live without that. The problem is when phone calls go directly to voicemail when you are using data.

The SE will have this feature. It's called VoLTE (Voice over LTE).

Data during calls isn't related to calls coming through while data is in use--that has always applied to even older iPhones and other phones.

I haven't really read up on it, but with most of the internals that are on the level of the 6s or at least the 6 it sounds like VoLTE should be supported, and hopefully even Wi-Fi calling.

It does have WiFi calling enabled too.
