AT&T today said its VoLTE service is now available in a wider number of markets around the country.
AT&T first deployed VoLTE in a limited number of midwestern cities earlier this year. Since then, it has been testing VoLTE and believes the service is performing well. Today, AT&T expanded VoLTE and HD Voice to select areas in the District of Columbia, as well as portions of Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. Customers can use a coverage map to find out if VoLTE and HD Voice are available where they live.
VoLTE does not cost extra to use, but requires compatible handsets and LTE coverage for both parties on the call. AT&T reiterated that it is working to expand VoLTE to new markets, and expects to eventually offer inter-carrier VoLTE service with Verizon Wireless and other network operators next year.
