Att launched wifi calling nationwide as a beta on the 13th. I am in Orlando and have an Atlanta area code. I have unlimited talk, text and data. My wifi calling is not working yet. I meet all the requirements for wifi calling, meaning an unlimited voice plan. Not sure why it's not working. I keep getting "oops looks like it's not available in your area yet"

Not sure if anyone has noted this but when you're switched to WIFI calling - it shows AT&T WiFi near the top left.

It's working for me in Portland now. I switched over from a limited talk/text plan to a mobile share plan and the wifi calling activated right away. I think perhaps if you're not on a mobile share plan the wifi calling will not work for you, at least at the current time.

Strange, as it's not working for me just north of Chicago (but in Cook County). Have been trying all week and still get the Oops not working statement.

I am also in Chicago and get the "oops not working" message. I'm on a mobile share plan, account owner. I just updated to the public beta less than 2 days ago so maybe it will kick in on my phone soon?

Hey I'm in suffolk county as well. I was able to go through the activation and its active on my phone but it won't switch over to at&t wifi when I have one bar or switch to airplane mode and turn wifi on. Has your phone switched to at&t wifi yet?

ATT WiFi scheduled for roll out in 4th quarter. Some test areas already up and running. Too many stories around as to what plans will and won't work.

Live in Sacramento CA. AT&T Mobile Share 10GB with iPhone 6 took a bunch of tries (perhaps they got tired of telling me no) but it finally went through.

Curious: does anyone out there get AT&T wifi calling to work with an "unlimited data" plan?

No love for Albany, NY yet.

Surprised you do not have it in Albany. I am in Utica, NY and it is working great for me! Be aware it does not always say "AT&T WiFi." For me to get that to show up, I have to go into Airplane Mode and then turn on WiFi and I get the "AT&T WiFi" logo to show up. Either way...it works and sounds great!

All please list what plan you have if you have wifi calling working or not working.

That's a good idea. I have a business account / Premier and am the account owner, and wifi calling is still not working within the beta on my iPhone 6 in Chicago.

Got it working in Louisville, KY

For the ones who got AT&T WiFi working, care to share the following:

1. City, State
2. AT&T voice plan
3. AT&T data plan

I ask this, because when I called AT&T the person switched me to unlimited voice and couldn't get it to work. She tried me to switch from unlimited data to the mobile share data plan at which point I stopped her and asked her 'what does my unlimited data have to do with wifi calling'? She didn't know how to answer except that she was comparing one account in my area that has it working with mine.

AT&T is doing everything it can to get rid of this group since they consider them a liability now.

In Minneapolis, new 15gb mobile share and it's not working. Getting the "oops that wasn't supposed to happen" error. Might call att and see what's up.
