Verizon Wireless new system allows Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge users to sign-in for Voice over Wi-Fi calls when roaming. It means that it can be activated even when the smartphone is not connected to the Verizon wireless network.

Verizon has revealed a new software update for its two flagship phones the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. The update reportedly will focus on improvements to Wi-Fi and HD voice calling.

Both Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge are Voice Over IP (VoIP) systems which means every time a call is made over Wi-Fi or uses HD voice call, internet data will be used rather than 2G or 3G connectivity. The immediate effect of the Verizon update is less frequent Wi-Fi calls dropped, Green Bot reported.

There will also be new enhancements in the works which will include increased earpiece volumes of calls for easier use. Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge owners can also tap into HD Voice calls only when linked to the 4G LTE network, which means HD Voice Calls will not be available when connected to older and slower routes.

The handset will also notify customers when making video calls over cellular data, that their own data is being used which will avoid overhead costs. This will be useful especially to customers in North America who want to make or receive calls using a Wi-Fi network, Android Origin reported.

Verizon suggests that its clients get the software update through Wi-Fi connection or mobile data with a strong signal. It is also necessary to have a fully charged phone before the lengthy update.

The Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge update also fixed the problem with download errors on Google Play Store App, resolved the accessing of Visual Voice Mail, discarded the Amazon Music app, and made Google Search available in the Settings menu. For manual downloading, go to Settings-About Device-Download Updates Manually.
