iOS 9 WiFi Calling Brings Support for AT&T iPhone 6 / 6S

A lot of users might have already downloaded iOS 9 beta 5 that was released in August by Apple and can be downloaded through direct no UDID links even though this testing version is meant for registered developers. This update brings AT&T WiFi calling 2015 support that was rumored to roll out and seems to be officially released soon.

iOS 9 WiFi calling has already supported T-Mobile and Sprint networks. Verizon is the only company that doesn’t hurry to support the new option. If you wish to use such an option this fall you might want to SIM unlock Verizon iPhone 6 even though this carrier also promises to offer full support sometime this year.

AT&T WiFi Calling iPhone 6 feature hasn’t been tested by users yet because it is not available to most of them. Still the new mobile platform does support the option. This means that AT&T iPhone subscribers should be able to make cellular calls using WiFi network when their cellular signal is too weak or absent.

If you have the AT&T iPhone that is running iOS 9 beta 5 you can launch Settings and take a look into your iPhone menu. You’ll find WiFi Calling feature there which you cannot enable at the moment but it should work once Apple officially presents the next operating system for mobile devices.

The U.S. carrier doesn’t say when it is going to roll out this feature. According to rumors, this should happen sometime in September however the option is already being tested in some U.S. regions. If you are lucky to live in the area where AT&T is testing WiFi Calling you might be able to actually turn it on right now even within the beta iOS 9 version.

Do you think iOS 9 will be cooler than iOS 8? We all know that Apple should still unveil iOS 8.4.1 as the company is testing this firmware along with future iOS 9.
