You hit it right. According to this article: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13970_7-10453550-78.html http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13970_7-10453550-78.html Verizon is having trouble getting voice to work over LTE in their test markets, so they are going to go data only on LTE initially and use CDMA for voice. When I read that, I wondered if the voice problem was a function of something basic in LTE (like latency) or if the voice gear just doesn't play well with LTE yet. If it's the latter, then Skype VoIP applications would help offload voice traffic from CDMA for "power users".
- aarghh 17y agoVoice over LTE is supposed to work using IMS - but will require a fairly expensive upgrade to the network. Operators are keenly aware of the pitfalls of over-the-top voice losing them revenue, but this is an experiment to see if they can do away with IMS altogether. That, and the fact that someone else may try it first...
