Currently, the higher quality HD voice (http://www.imore.com/tag/hd-voice) benefits of VoLTE calls are limited to customers who are in a VoLTE network and who own a VoLTE compatible device where the calls are made to another customer on the same network.</p> <!--break--> <p>While the partnership would increase the benefits of HD voice calling to a larger audience, it could also allow unlocked devices to utilize VoLTE calling, according to Reuters.</p>

<p>The technology could also allow customers to purchase devices that are not bound to a particular carrier and can easily be transferred to a different network.</p>

<p>Cross-carrier interoperability for VoLTE between AT&amp;T Mobility and Verizon is expected by 2015.</p> <p>Source: Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/03/us-wireless-volte-idUSKBN0IN1UW20141103?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=technologyNews)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28115"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/401da77a/sc/46/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
