Lync for Windows Phone update 5.6.1308.0_Release Date 12/10/2014

This Windows Phone update provides three defined options for VoIP calls; previously there were two options.
  • VoIP always - Will use a Wi-Fi connection to place the call. If Wi-Fi is not available, the device will default to the cellular data plan (3G/4G).
  • VoIP over Wi-Fi only - If available, the device will use a Wi-Fi connection to place the call. If Wi-Fi not available, Call Forwarding will be set to simultaneously ring your mobile phone number so that you can still receive work calls.
  • Cellular - The device will default to the cellular data plan (3G/4G). Call Forwarding will be set to simultaneously ring your mobile phone number so that you can still receive work calls.

Calls failing at exactly 10 seconds

Check setting  "EnableFastFailoverTimer"

When set to True, outbound calls that are not answered by the gateway within 10 seconds will be routed to the next available trunk; if there are no additional trunks then the call will automatically be dropped. In an organization with slow networks and gateway responses, that could potentially result in calls being dropped unnecessarily.

The default value is True.

Set-CsTrunkConfiguration -Identity "site specific trunk" -EnableFastFailoverTimer $false"
