My most desired mobile-phone feature is being able to make and receive calls over a WPA2 secured WiFi network. This is a feature I wish the Ubuntu Edge offered. I'd take WiFi Calling over any other mobile-phone feature/technology.

My hope is that one day soon mobile-phone tech can provide Voice over WiFi. I'd like to be able to do the following:
-disable the Cellular Antenna when at home/work but have the WiFi antenna enabled.
-enable the Cellular Antenna when away from home/work & have WiFi antenna disabled

This would remove congestion from cellular networks and also eliminate poor coverage problems within buildings and rural home areas. This is the feature/tech I want more than any other in the mobile-phone market.

Are companies working towards providing this feature? Why isn't more being done to bring this capabilitiy to mobile phones? What prevented Ubuntu Edge from offering this feature?
