Less than a week after officially launching Advanced Calling 1.0 and Voice over LTE (VoLTE) for the Galaxy S5 and LG G2, Verizon has doubled the number of phones on its network that support the feature.

Both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus now support Verizon’s Advanced Calling 1.0 functionality. Owners of either device can enable the feature by going into Settings > Cellular > Enable LTE and switching the setting to “Voice & Data.”

Advanced Calling 1.0 offers HD Voice for high quality voice calls, simultaneous voice and data and more. In the past, Verizon customers couldn't use data (surf the web, etc) while making a phone call. Advanced Calling fixes that for a number of phones.  In order to take advantage of the feature, you’ll need to have an Advanced Calling 1.0-capable phone — which currently includes the Galaxy S5, LG G2, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus — and the person on the other end of your call will need one as well.

Apple said when it announced the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus that both models would support VoLTE on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, so it’s no surprise to hear that the feature is live. Still, it’s nice to know that the functionality is working out of the box. Now all that you Verizon iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus owners have to do is flip the switch in your Settings.
