WiFi calling

[Phoneguy108]

Why is there WiFi calling available on the S6A running Marshmallow 6.0 but not on the S7A?

Wi-Fi calling is usually carrier-specific. Who is your carrier? Are/were both of these phones on the same carrier?

WiFi calling was enabled on the S6 Active when Android 6.0 was added. S7 Active released with Android 6.0 without WiFi calling. Not carrier specific as both devices were AT&T exclusive. Rumor mill says WiFi calling will be added to the S7A in a future update. Being on an unlimited talk plan, I really don't care.

Thanks for the reply. I just assumed if the S6A with 6.0 had it, so wouldn't the S7A with 6.0

Yes this was confusing but I was happy to see it added to S6 Active which means we will most likely get it on our S7 Active. I have it on my iphone 6S+ and it is handy for when you have a crappy signal in a building but they have wifi. Calling and texting are a snap when it is enabled. Can even text from a flight if on wifi. Pretty neat feature! Come on Att let's get it on the S7 Active!

Hopefully it is added soon

Looks like the update to bring wifi calling is rolling out to the S7 and S7 Edge! Hopefully it will roll out for the S7 Active soon!

Amen to that

agreed but actives seem to only get 1 or 2 updates from 'ma bell' AT&T, so we will probably get it (and hopefully a fix for the damn Compass/Map issue).

Keep us non S7A owners posted on the WiFi calling please!

Ridiculous it wasn't launched at same time as regular S7
