Is there some way to always forward incoming calls on the cell # to a VoIP number (Skype, Google Voice, etc.) so that my cellular # never rings? This will prevent me from taking calls when I have no Internet access on my phone, but that's rare enough that I'm willing to accept that as a consequence.Is there some setting to change to force it to not disconnect the LTE when receiving a call?.Possible approaches to a solution that I've investigated:

The phone seems to be artificially limiting or killing the data, even though there is nothing inherent in the VoLTE protocol that says you can't do a VoLTE call and a data session at the same time.

The network supports simultaneous data and voice if your data is coming from LTE, which mine always is, even if the call comes in over CDMA at the same time.Īnd, since the 6S Plus supports VoLTE, you'd think that if the call comes in over VoLTE (which I've specifically tested from an Android phone that is definitely also on VoLTE and has great LTE signal strength), that the data would be able to continue simultaneously, right? Nope. So, no, it is definitely not a limitation of the network. Unwilling to Jailbreak in order to implement a solution to this problem.įor comparison, if I take out my SIM card and put it into any Android smartphone, I can receive a call over VoLTE or CDMA on the same network, at the same physical location, and use LTE data at the same time.
