Ever since T-Mobile’s Uncarrier 7.0 announcement in September, T-Mobile has made a commitment to ensure that WiFi calling would work out of the box on every new smartphone it sold – well, except for the Google Nexus 6 by Motorola. But it would be coming soon in an OTA update, we were promised!
Almost half a year later, here we are – T-Mobile is still selling the Nexus 6, and it still can’t do WiFi calling.
However, T-Mobile promised an OTA update in early 2015, shortly after the phone’s release, that would enable WiFi calling. T-Mobile’s senior product guru, Des Smith, even said on Twitter that they were planning on having it out in the first quarter – in other words, by the end of this month.
Here’s that tweet, from February:
@bkerensa @DrMacinyasha It’s under development now and we’re hoping to have it out in Q1 – it’ll be close!

That’s definitely not the impression that T-Mobile has been giving people since last October.
@NadesicoND001 HMM – We have been on target for the first half of this year – VoLTE was in March (and we’re there!)

Color me disappointed – and impatient.
