United Wireless Transition to VoLTE FAQs

What is VoLTE (Voice over LTE)?

VoLTE is the ability for your voice services (phone calls and text messages) to run over the LTE data network.

What are the benefits of VoLTE?

Customers will now be able to use data while on a phone call.

VoLTE should also increase the quality of calls and experience while outside of United’s home network.

How do I know if my voice calls/text message are on VoLTE?

While on a phone call, your phone will continue to display LTE at the top.

You may need to shut off your Wi-Fi to validate that LTE is showing.

What phones support VoLTE?

As with all technology, some handsets will not support VoLTE. Moving forward, all customers will be required to have a handset that supports VoLTE.

United is working on a program to help customers replace their non-VoLTE-compatible handsets with phones that support VoLTE. Information about this program will be shared with those customers prior to their migration to VoLTE.
