Advanced Calling 1.0

Yes. I have 2 LG G3s with Verizon, got the update to Advance Calling last week. Installed on both phones. The sound quality is definitely better. It is much clearer, and you can hear more details. My wife and I did notice a difference. Also, you can do video calls right from the phone dialer, either one-way or 2-way. Video looks good, but of course it depends on the signal quality. The only thing I am not sure about is whether if you use video calls, if they count against your data.

My concern is the dropping of calls when moving from LTE to 3G. Glad to hear that there is a noticeable quality improvement.

And video calls do count against data.

I have found the strength of the voice call signal to be weaker and breaks up more than 1X but when it works, it is very clear. Being able to switch back and forth to video during the call and having clear audio during a video chat is invaluable. Hangouts is not completely dead yet since that can use wifi completely while overseas and of course for people who don't have VZW HD voice. VZW is working with AT&T and T-Mob to make their VOLTE systems compatible.
