AT&T WiFi Calling **w Available for Some iOS 9 Users

The most recent iOS 9 beta added WiFi calling options for AT&T subscribers, but when the beta was released last week, the feature was **t functional.

As of today, Some Users in the MacRumors forums who are running iOS 9 **ticed a different message when attempting to activate the feature, and just hours later, WiFi Calling began working for a limited number of AT&T subscribers.

When attempting to activate WiFi Calling in the Settings app, Users who have access to the feature are receiving a welcome screen, a disclaimer, and a **tice that WiFi Calling has been activated and should be Available within a few minutes. During the setup period, Users are required to enter an address that emergency services will visit as a caller's location can**t be determined from a WiFi call.

Following a short waiting period, WiFi Calling becomes ready for use with the "Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone" option toggled on. While a few of our readers have had success getting the WiFi Calling feature working, several other Users do **t have access, suggesting AT&T may be testing the feature in a limited number of areas ahead of launch.

WiFi Calling was first introduced with iOS 8, and shortly after the feature debuted, AT&T an**unced plans to support it. The company has **t made any further an**uncements, but it is likely an official launch will come after iOS 9 is released to the public in September. An AT&T employee who is also a MacRumors reader says that his store has **t received word on an upcoming launch, so official word on further availability of WiFi Calling may still be a few weeks off.

WiFi Calling is a feature that lets calls be placed over a wireless connection when cellular connectivity is poor. It is similar in function to Apple's own FaceTime audio feature, and has thus far been limited to T-Mobile and Sprint users.
