When is VoLTE support expected?
I am using at this moment VoLTE as part of a Test, as part of this test i needed to swop my Jolla Phone to a Android Phone capable to support VoLTE. This test is really going well and VoLTE is a big improvement.
I expect that in 2015 the VoLTE support is coming to the market and i like to use the Jolla in combination with VoLTE! So i and i think many of us like to have support of VoLTE in the Jolla Phone.
The biggest advantages at this moment are extreme fast call setup and the possibility to switch up a Video channel independent of the Voice channel. Compared to classic VoIP services the advantage is support of a fallback function to GSM/UMTS for the voice channel, possibility to call over WiFi with your mobile number.
I have ReOpened this question as It is still Unclear that when Is voLTE Expected? Even when the sailfish 3 is launched , It should be at first place in the Sailfish 3 Roadmap.
If any of you use Twitter please tweet a link to this discussion, asking for VoLTE on Sailfish, and include @JamesNoori , @JollaHQ and @IntexBrand to bring it to their attention.
I have reopened this question as it isn't a duplicate and it is now 2016 and demand for VoLTE support has been growing. It would be more appropriate to redirect all "VoLTE wanted" threads to this older discussion than to the question enquiring if Jolla supports VoLTE.

pinkpanther ( 2016-09-13 17:22:26 +0200 )edit@pinkpanther - It is better that Sailfish OS support VoLTE as a built-in feature than making us rely on some android app for it. I am guessing providing direct SIM access to android apps would take as much work as adding VoLTE feature, and so it would be better they work on making VoLTE a native feature of Sailfish OS.
sifartech ( 2016-09-13 17:29:58 +0200 )edit@sifartech fair enough. any developers/people from Jolla company in this forum? I'm new to this forum. I'm also curious is it possible for third parties to add this feature, since Sailfish kind of flexible and is like Linux? But I guess VoLTE is tied with hardware.
pinkpanther ( 2016-09-13 17:33:50 +0200 )edit@pinkpanther - Sailfish OS is open source to a certain extent, and one can certainly extend it if you have the technical know how. See here for more information on how to extend the core of The OS and some basic info on VoLTE.
