Verizon iOS Wifi Calling?
Anyone know when Verizon will enable wifi calling for iPhones? I know it's been working for some Samsung devices since December and Verizon announced it would be available in January for iOS. Still isn't available on my phone, though...

"in the future"
They missed the mid-2015 date promised in 2014, so I think we just wait until it happens.

Some carriers haven't made the investments in network coverage and capacity, and may need to utilize voice over Wi-Fi to cover their network gaps.

It seems to be working for me at the moment actually. The My Messages app has been making and receiving calls from the US on my US # while I'm in the UK. I was kind of surprised when it just started working a month or so ago.

Aren't they the same betas? I assume you can just delete the development profile and then add the public beta profile. But you might need to use a different Apple ID...not sure quite how that works.
