AT&T to Wait Until 2015 to Launch WiFi Calling
AT&T years
So by 2015 we can safely assume that it will be 2016 or 2017 before they've implemented it. Got it.
Who cares? Everywhere I go, I have at&t service, so who needs it?

Great experience?
It's just fancy VOIP service basically. Both Sprint and T-mobile have it, and it works just as if you were making a phone call over the cellular network. I'm using it right now on my HTC One Max on Sprint.
Even though I get great service where I live already with cellular, I choose to use WiFi calling instead for the battery saving advantages, and to insure that I always have a rock solid connection.
So instead of connecting to a tower blocks away, with large buildings in the way, my tower essentially is just a few feet away from me at all times, with no obstructions in the way.
Why AT&T and Verizon are choosing to drag their feet with this is beyond me.

One word...Money.
From a bloodsucking leech perspective, there's not much to be gained from offering wifi calling. They know exactly how much money they will make in that year or three by delaying wifi calling.
Most of their customers wont leave ...

Well then let me give you a reason why that feature is worthless. I don't have internet service in my home. I use my phone as a hotspot, because I get 30mbps in my home. Why would I pay the cable company 50 bucks a month for slower speeds and then h...

at&t's 'spin' is correct here
T-Mobile and Sprint emphasize WiFi calling because their networks suck and there are so many places where their customers can't get service and this feature helps to fill in the gaps in coverage. However, at&t's network is bigger, with fewer dead zones, so the feature is less necessary.
As far as it goes, I think this is exactly the correct spin for at&t to adopt.....we're not going to focus on filling in the gaps, we are going to focus on making sure that there are no gaps to fill in.

I agree T. It really comes down to Sprint and T-Mobile NEED to implement wifi calling to assist their inferior network whereas AT&T and Verizon don't have these issues.
