    A whole lot depends on what your cellular carrier is willing to do with an iPhone and VoLTE.

     

    Make calls using Voice over LTE (VoLTE) - Apple Support

     

    About the LTE options on your iPhone - Apple Support

     

    A1549 is just a general reference - it refers to an iPhone 6 sold in North America.

     

    Yes, iPhone 6 supports VoLTE - if the carrier supports both VoLTE and the iPhone using VoLTE on its network.

    Thanks Sberman.


    I Checked and gone through the said process but its partially working. i.e. audio calling through "Phone" over VoLTE can be done. But video calling through "Phone" over VoLTE can not be found while calling.

     

    Throw some lights if you have any idea on that.

    "Video calling"??

     

    iPhones do not natively support video calls - only through FaceTime (an Apple feature).

     

    So you must be asking about some cellular carrier feature.  Ask them.

    As I mentioned earlier Reliance Jio has launched trail for 4G VoLTE for his employees. They have mentioned that these devices (below listed) are compatible for true 4G/VoLTE. On these devices voice and video both calls can be be done through normal carrier calling feature.

     

    I have checked it on iphone6. As i said above audio calling through "Phone" over VoLTE can be done. But video calling through "Phone" over VoLTE can not be found while calling.

     

     

    Which devices are True 4G/VoLTE compatible?

     

     

    You can choose to buy a 4G VoLTE compatible handset from the market and use it with Jio 4G SIM card.

    True 4G / VoLTE Smartphones available in the market:

    That makes sense to me.

     

    I have never seen any evidence of an iPhone supporting video calling over VoLTE from the Apple side.

     

    You have already stated that the iPhone supports voice using VoLTE.  That is more than Apple states in its list of cellular carriers supported - yours is not listed.

     

    I see no reason whatsoever to expect iPhone would support video over VoLTE.

    Thanks ManSinha.


    The iPhone video calling is FaceTime, I am already using that on iphone6. But i think you can say FaceTime is app.

    But I am talking about vedio calling feature through normal calling
