It uses data on whatever wifi network you connecto to, but not against any
cap from the cell provider. I suppose they could use it as enough of an
account change to force you off the old plan though.

Chris, I don't believe you're missing anything at all. However, I don't
think that this so-called wi-Fi calling uses any data set from your home
Wi-Fi. Just in that way that it works.

Why though would that effect data? I thought wifi calling used a wifi
connection you're connected to locally? Wifi calling doesn't eat up any
of your cellular data. At least, it better not, as I was told it doesn't,
so why would they take away your data plan, just to give you something
that doesn't use internet data to start with? That doesn't make any
sense, unless I'm missing something here.
Chris.

Hey Mark,
I’m grandfathered in to the same deal and am not able to get wi-fi calling
or create a hotspot without losing my unlimited data. I think you’re sort
of out of luck. My advice would definitely be don’t give up the deal. They
may prohibit a couple of cool features but at the end of the day it’s
really nice not having to worry about data usage.

Hello,
Before I enable the new WiFi calling feature in iOS 9.1, I want to make
certain that doing so will not automatically kick me off of my unlimited
data plan. For years, A T & T Wireless has been trying to do anything
that
will cause one to lose their grandfathered unlimited data; I don't want
them
to trick me as they have done so many others, in the past, by offering
other
options, which coincidentally, (wink), cause the revocation of the
unlimited
data plan.
A little paranoia on my part? You bet!!
All replies welcomed.
Thank you,
Mark
PS
Yes, I know I could call them but, to be honest, I have received
inaccurate
information from their call centers, especially when it comes to the
unlimited data plan, in the past.
