For people commenting here do not update, have you got any idea that this is still a beta and only intended for developers? Its not a public beta or a public release, its still in testing phase.

Wifi calling will fail to work most of the time of you have the iPhone 6 from t-mobile. It seems to work on certain public wifi locations but not when you use it at home
