Re: WiFi calling
Verizon said they would support wifi calling in 2015 sometime, and confirmed back in August that was still the case. That being said, Verizon has said repeatedly that wifi calling is not a priority to them as they think their network is strong enough to not need it, and they make no guarantees as to which phones they will enable it on.

Re: WiFi calling
On the Dec 8 I know the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will be able to do WiFi calling on Verizon. Nothing yet on iPhone however. But they are starting the process.

Its about time they start but as usual VERIZON could give 2 s(*&^ about there customers, just what they make.. They going to offer it in some advanced calling configuration and also delay the large majority on there network of iPhones, AT&T turned that on for iPhones instantly and delayed android users as its a little more involved process.. Apple its easy as they don't allow customization of there OS, they enable it and plug it into the verizon network and update our carrier settings.. But once again we get the non lubed side of the stick...
Plus after reading the above article.. With Advanced calling, if you are connected to a LTE signal your advanced calling will work but say you hit one of those small, short 3G areas it will drop a call. So for them to push this feature with wifi calling is a low blow...

What the $&#} are you complaining about? Verizon isn't making any money off of WiFi calling so you're first sentence is invalid. You seem to think major changes like this are as easy as turning a switch on its not.

Nobody is forcing you to stay with Verizon. There are other carriers available to you. Feel free to try them.

Some people are never happy. Ultimately no corporation really cares what you think, they are out to make money. It's all about finding which carrier fits your needs the best imo.

Corporations care to the point where customers continue giving them money and shareholders are happy. 'Tis the economy we live in.

I did the samsung test drive with a Galaxy 6 edge and it asked me to enable wifi calling. So it appears they have turned it on for some devices.

Wifi calling is built into the latest iOS... Verizon needs to release a carrier settings update to enable it on compatible iOS devices - and they've not done that yet... news reports indicate Verizon intends to do that after the new year.

Wifi calling is suppose to be activated via Verizon sometime this year. Not sure why they are dragging their feet on this one.
