You mean a different sort of WiFi calling then this I assume? ... Sorry new to Verizon.... But I just remembered seeing this... But like I said I'm sure you are meaning something different...

Doubtful. WiFi calling is a feature that needs full integration with the network, which unlocked phones like Nexuses don't have. Not to mention that Verizon hasn't even rolled it out to any phones outside of the Samsungs. The only way for the 6P to get Verizon WiFi calling is if Verizon decides to support the phone, which probably will never happen.

Not true....it is also on the new LG G5 and I believe the IPhone have it as well.

Oh, I'm mistaken then. I still don't think they'd support it on an unlocked phone like the 6p though.

It just would have been nice to have since it exists on their network. Great for when I go away with no cell service and need to contact the family. I've been using an old iPhone with face time because my family has iphones.

There are good alternatives for WiFI calling, Google Voice and Skype.

They work only if the people you are calling are on it

Google Voice would be a separate phone number that you can call anyone with and they can call you with it. I don't know if Skype does it for free or not.
Not a perfect solution, but at least a way to call someone.

Google Voice does not require that the called person be on it. It's transparent and you can call anywhere in the US and Canada for free using wifi.

You're right I was thinking of a different app..... Anyway that's not my point. I want to be able to do it from my existing number

I just ordered my Nexus 6P 2 days ago and signed up for Project Fi. They offer wifi calling. Once my phone arrives I'm canceling my current ATT account.
