AT&T WiFi Calling Release Date Delayed

A lot of U.S users who purchased AT&T iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus wished to also get the announced AT&T WiFi calling 2015 option. However this feature hasn’t been released yet. It is being delayed and millions of subscribers are now upset.

You might even want to unlock AT&T iPhone 6s or 6s Plus right away and become SIM free to use the feature with a different network provider while waiting for your original carrier to get the approval.

AT&T WiFi calling release date was expected right after the ‘s’ lineup launch. The company was testing this option together with Apple in the end of the summer. This made a lot of users believe that they would get iOS 9 WiFi calling right after this firmware update. Apple indeed upgraded its mobile operating system and has already launched two versions: iOS 9 and minor iOS 9.0.1 update. At the same time, AT&T is still holding back on releasing the WiFi calling on its network.

AT&T hoped to release its WiFi calling service without offering TTY support for hard-of-hearing and deaf people. It has to get the FCC approval to make this happen. It is curious that both Sprint and T-Mobile that launched iOS 9 WiFi calling feature support do not offer TTY support as well.

Originally AT&T WiFi calling launch was planned on September 25th or 26th. The company is not going to offer the service unless it gets the approval. Are you going to wait for the option to be launched or do you plan to factory unlock iPhone from AT&T in order to use the option on a different network?

Apple is going to unveil the new mobile platform in less than a month from now since rumors mention September 18th as the official iPhone 6S release date [and the smartphones are usually launched later than firmware updates].

AT&T WiFi calling news confirms that this U.S. network is planning to fight for more subscribers in the fall. Sprint and T-Mobile are also offering this new service so users get more choices of carriers with WiFi calling option.

T-Mobile is currently the leading carrier with innovative ideas even though it doesn’t have as many subscribers as AT&T and Verizon. Still its jump on the WiFi calling makes other companies take the same step to not lose users who start to prefer ‘uncarrier’ data plans over regular data plans offered by their networks.

If AT&T WiFi calling option doesn’t make you happy, you can always unlock AT&T iPhone for any other network. This is affordable and fast through factory SIM unlock service. Since the procedure is performed distantly it is available to users from all over the world.

AT&T iPhone WiFi Calling Support Comes in the Fall

While AT&T iPhone WiFi calling is about to arrive to iOS 9 platform [the latest iOS 9 beta 5 already shows that both T-Mobile and AT&T support iPhone 6 WiFi calling option] some other U.S. carriers don’t even think about being poised by the new opportunity. For example, Verizon is still MIA. By the way, AT&T is raising iPhone activation fee this August.

Sprint is also supporting the new option. Thus three U.S. major carriers are poised with the new service: AT&T support WiFi iPhone hotspot added to the list that earlier included Sprint and T-Mobile. All the companies are preparing for the next launch of the iOS 9 and new line of ‘fruit’ iDevices.

AT&T iPhone 6 WiFi calling support should bring more customers to this carrier that is often accused of unlimited data users throttling and expensive services. T-Mobile started to support this feature in 2014 and Sprint quickly joined its rival this April.
At the same time AT&T is believed to have to best coverage [over 300 million people] within the U.S. It also calls itself ‘the most reliable 4G LTE’ carrier with the strongest signal. Now it will addd WiFi calling support in the fall. Will Verizon also come on board for this or not?

The new iOS 9 should bring a lot of new features as well as the next-generation iPhones. Apple is also rumored to launch e SIM cards sometime in the future however this fall customers would most likely have to buy iPhone 6S and 6S Plus from AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile or get a never-locked model from Apple.

You can easily SIM unlock your AT&T iPhone 6S or other model using factory unlocking service that is the most popular and reliable method of turning your gadget into all-netwroks-friendly iDevice.

The final AT&T iPhone 6S pricing policy is still unknown.

FCC Internet Net Neutrality to Get New Regulation Proposal

How can FCC Internet regulation protect net neutrality in the U.S.? Back in November of 2014, President Barack Obama urged the Federal Communications Commission to make up the rules that can complete this goal. Recently the Commission announced its FCC Internet net neutrality proposal. It is interesting that it also made it expensive for companies to block iPhone personal Wi-Fi hotspots not so long ago so hotels and businesses should now avoid such steps.

According to the FCC chairman Tom Wheeler, the regulations should remind of a public utility. As different sources mention, the new strong rules will not allow providers to make ‘fast lanes’ in order to provide faster speeds for money.

The new FCC regulations for Internet should reclassify high-speed Internet which will become telecommunications service instead of being information service. It will appear under Title II in the new Act.

According to net neutrality principle, Internet data must be treated equally. This topic has been widely discussed across the United States, and the FCC even approved ‘Open Internet’ rules in 2014. This should improve service and stop ISPs from throttling and blocking websites across country.

How will ‘net neutrality’ continue to enhance with time? Will it truly create transparency between providers and their customers in the future?

Right now the FCC is working on a new proposal that will be focused on neutrality rules and not on paid prioritization. The new proposal will be voted on in the end of February.

It is curious that the iOS giant, Apple, is trying to develop its own network and wished to work with different ISPs in order to professionally deliver content to clients and consumers, but such deal might not be allowed in 2015 once the new proposal is implemented by the FCC.

iPhone 4S iOS 7.1 Problems with Wi-Fi Connectivity

iOS 7.1 update didn’t go as smooth as most of us hoped. Apple tried its best to release the major firmware upgrade and the first reports cam soon. People complained about battery issues. This is not the only bug, as iPhone 4S owners experience bad or not working Wi-Fi connectivity.

The operating system brought new features such as CarPlay for the iPhone 5S. Of course, this option doesn’t support the 4S smartphone but lacking one feature is one things and getting different iOS 7.1 problems is another thing.

Right now this bug isn’t common. It is faced by a small number of Apple customers, according to support forums devoted to Apple products. Wi-Fi issue on iPhone 4S after iOS 7.1 update shows the following error:

“Wi-Fi not available”

Such a problem comes because Wi-Fi somehow becomes disabled after you install iOS 7.1 on your iPhone 4S model. There is a fix to the issue shared by users. They say that you can reset your handset’s settings for network and use your WiFi connection. But this fix doesn’t help everyone. Some users note that their Wi-Fi chip has been burnt after the firmware update.

Having different iOS 7.1 bugs [previous reports mentioned fast battery drain on their smartphones and tablets] is not too nice. Apple is silent but it will most likely offer bug fixes in the next operating system update.
