AT&T and FCC Waiver for Wi-Fi Calling

AT&T Receives FCC Waiver Needed for Wi-Fi Calling, No Launch Date Yet

Juli Clover | October 6, 2015

Earlier this week, AT&T announced that it had delayed its promised Wi-Fi calling feature as it had not been able to obtain an FCC waiver that would allow it to temporarily forgo offering support options for deaf and hard-of-hearing people. Following that announcement, the FCC has now granted AT&T's waiver request, allowing the carrier to proceed with its Wi-Fi calling launch plans.
