I've found the peeps at the store are really great to work with. I'll check
with them. It's legit that we'd really like to get the wifi calling to work
for my wife's M8 since she's home all day and the cell-fi has improved
signal enough that we stick with t-mo but wifi calling will maybe get rid
of some of her dropped call issues that she's still having.
