While Rogers has officially announced they would support Wi-Fi Calling for iPhone users in iOS 9, we now have confirmation TELUS will not be supporting the feature–for now.
According to a statement via email, a TELUS representative explained “At this time, TELUS does not have Wi-Fi calling for iPhone.” No other details were provided.
Wi-Fi Calling on iPhone requires carrier support to be enabled and allows customers to make and receive calls and texts over Wi-Fi, when there is no cell signal. This is convenient for those in areas of poor coverage.
Earlier today TELUS released their two-year iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus pricing, set to start at $400 and $530 respectively. Pre-orders for Apple’s latest smartphone kicks off tonight at 12:01AM PDT/3:01AM EDT.

There’s telus visual voicemail? How…
