Does anyone know if VZW will have Wi-fi calling for the GS7?

I haven't heard of anything on it.

There is a Verizon app that is in the PlayStore that allows wifi calling. You click on it, get a dialer, etc and it does make the call over wifi. I used it when my Network Extender was down. It works fine, however, when my Network Extender came back online when I would get a call I would get a double ring, one on my phone and the other on the phone through the app. I finally deleted it. As an alternative to living in an area with poor cell phone coverage, it works great. I presume when Verizon activates pure wifi calling, it will switch from a cell tower to a wireless source automatically.

The S6 and S6 edge have it so my guess is that it'll come with it. It hasn't been confirmed though
