Who's using WiFi calling?

[robertk328]

I'm going to call Verizon when I get home. I don't have advanced calling/HD Voice on my phone.

How'd this go, @pr1nce ?

They said the 5s wasn't compatible. But I've read even on the Verizon site that it was.

Hmm. Did you at least enable the HD calling? That way you're at least ready

The only problem with joining the Public Beta Program is that there is no going back to the Production OS. Even when I got a new ipad Mini, and updated the new one with my Apple ID it too was enrolled in the Beta Program. Not all of them are rock solid so you can be screwed if you get a bad build.

Incorrect. You gotta know what you're doing and how to do it.

How do I get a shipping version of iOS back on my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
Always back up your iOS device before installing beta software. To get a shipping release of iOS on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can simply install the final version of the software you are testing when it appears in Software Update. If you would like to go back to a previously released version, you must first erase the beta software, then re-install the latest shipping version of iOS, and finally restore from your previously saved iTunes backup.

Edit to add... the reason you got the beta program on the new iPad Mini is you restored a back-up from the old device that included the beta profile installed on the old device on the new one...

No I didn't. I'm going to check it out again.

 

[robertk328]

OK, good luck. Pretty sure you can do that online.

Try to do it. But don't understand how to do. :smile:

This is mostly for Verizon but other carriers offer it as well. It's not widely available on Verizon just yet, only on the latest betas. When 9.3 is released, it should be out for all users that update. I'm quite liking it so far!

I would expect 9.3 GM on or around 3/21. Apple is probably going to use its Spring event as a platform to launch it.

It's been great for me! Where I work it's horrid service in parts of the building. I've had no real issues so far for it being a beta.

There typically are no "GM" releases on X.whatever point releases... beta 7 may be the equivalent of "GM" for 9.3

True. I'm referring to the public release of 9.3.

I've been using it but have been getting tons of Call Failed errors when doing so. Usually have to redial at least once if not twice to get a solid connection.

Works great on the public release, no issues other that getting it going through the Verizon site. Makes my whole house cell call friendly. Awesome

Wifi calling has been great for me. I had very poor reception in different office buildings. This really fixed the issue

 

[robertk328]

Still loving wifi calling

Me too. I just don't call much anymore. Everyone wants to text now.

Oh, same. I work from home twice a week so need it then and it works great.
