Simply put, I want to use video calling. And for this I need to use the Verizon Skype. But the Skype app wants a Verizon sim. Is there any way to trick skype into believing the sim is from verizon? (without changing anything to the real sim) ?
Try Market Enabler. In theory it should work.

Stupid question:
Now that I am under WiFi, I don't give a damn about what happens. But... when I'm on 3g, changing that ID will automatically put me in Roaming ? (My sim is from Orange Romania). And if I'm in Roaming, data access is cut, due to option to avoid costs... Which renders it unusable...
Whatever I do , that Skype doesn't want to read the phone number...
Gonna try Market Enabler. But not sure if it will unlock the apps in need.

Does anyone know how to enable the internet calling for the Sensation? I live in the Netherlands and have Vodafone. I have a data plan where I am allowed to use it, just see a bunch of empty fields in the settings and wasn't sure what I should put here to enable it.
Apologies I used the wrong wording when titling this thread.
Before someone pays no attention to the body of the op's posts, he's asking about voip/sip.
Sorry I can't help much, but maybe my sentence above will help people get you the info you desire.

Yeah it says to add your account settings and I don't know what those are. Will probably pay a visit to Vodafone later today.
I think you are mixing up two separate things:
1. WIFI Calling is a way to use your Mobile Operator's services via any wifi network. In this case to connect to Vodafone NL not through cell transmission but wifi. To the best of my knowledge, only Orange UK have this service in Europe.
2. Internet Calling: Using a 3rd party as VoIP provider. You need to subscribe to such a service. Your chosen provider will give you a username,password and his domain. You enter these into Settings>Call>Internet Calling and you can then use the service. There are alternative SIP/VoIP apps that can easily be found in the Android Market.

Yes I guess I did have them mixed up. Thanks for the info!
thats my question I have an unlocked Palm Pixi and I want to use it in the wifi mode alone can I do this? Thanks a newbie
yes, you can. If out have to create Palm profile, you have to download activation bypass tool from palm support site. Go to webosnation forums and search for it if you can't find link via Google.
Easiest way is to borrow a friend's SIM card (or from one of your phones if available) and insert it into the device... Then you can set up the Palm Profile and get into the UI.
After removing the SIM the phone functions for everything but cell service.
If you are familiar with Linux or Mac OSX 10.6 you can use a webos-internals creation called MetaDoctor to achieve this. There is a configuration option you can set that bypasses the activation and Palm Profile setup, allowing you to effectively not associate with a provider. Search for webos-internals metadoctor on Google
I have used a pixi as described above. But another approach that I am now using is using pageplus via kittywireless.com. I have a 10 dollar pay every 120 day plan. So I have a wifi plus phone/txt messg device for pretty cheap.
ive heard that if you bypass it that some features will not work or you wont have a app store is that correct i have a palm pixix plus and a tmobile sim ?
If you bypass the Palm (HP) profile you would have no App catalog. However, you could activate the profile with your T-Mobile SIM and then run without SIM on WiFi and have full access to everything except voice, SMS, and MMS.
So all i do is pop in the sin and it will connect to data and i can set it up and use the phone sms and data i didnt no if i would of had to add the apn or they would pick it up from the sim

I have a GSM unlocked Pre 2 and I had no trouble setting up the Palm Profile with a friend's T-Mobile SIM. However, if your Pixi is Branded to a network that may be a problem. You can still try it.
I don't think bypassing the Palm Profile is such a good idea even if it will be a WiFi only device because you want the App Catalog and Preware stuff...
Also to run it off carrier you may want to turn on Airplane mode which shuts off all radios and then you can toggle WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth off and on manually as needed. Then it won't suck up battery looking for carrier signal...
Okay well it was a at&t pixi but i have a unlock code and im gonna be using the phone sms and data feature

Any way to do this? I've only got SMS and mms working using mod but wanted to make calls using my simcard in the xoom
Look into groove IP and Google voice....
Sent from my Xoom using XDA
Glock stole my thunder. Groove IP and Google Voice works like a charm.
What about just actually making calls using my sim card without data on the mobile network itself
i would like to know this as well
I had it working from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21812012 the patch here...tho it kinda made the system unstable ...when id open phone (the dial pad? It would always force close....also the speakers & mic arent active so may be you could try ur luck with a bluetooth headset !

Do you mean calling off wifi as opposed to using a 3g or 4g network? If so, then yes you can with groove ip. I have the mz602 without mobile data enabled, and am able to call people off my google contacts with my tablet. To disable mobile data I believe you just swap your tablet to airplane mode. I havent been able to recieve calls but, from what I understand, that is just a matter of changing the settings and enabling google chat.... it is somewhere in the forums, another thing in my list of things to do
Hope this helps

Can my motorola xoom wifi work with my sim card because i wanna make phone calls with it and also receive sms and mms on, as my mobile phone
Which is better?
I know that Avast will still work even if SIM card is changed (extremely important).
I know that SeekDroid has web interface.
What about the reverse? Does SeekDroid work after SIM card change?
Any other thoughts welcome.

Go with SeekDroid *biased
We don't rely on the SIM, as long as the device has internet.

That's the problem. I suppose that means SeekDroid doesn't send sms with new sim's phone number.
Which means that is the theft uses sim without internet access, my phone is gone.

In that case, if a sim didn't have SMS it would not work either. The difference with us is that we will keep trying to send the device the command given from the website until it comes back online, even if you leave the website. This means if it ever connects to WiFi or gets a SIM with network access, we will be able to execute the command. Also keep in mine that carriers such as AT&T will automatically add a data plan to a sim inserted into a smartphone.
Well, in Europe carriers don't add data plans automatically.
Anyway, can you list the functions SeekDroid has that Avast doesn't and does it offer all the functions listed here under avast! Anti-Theft and Remote Features sections?
Also:
- how does SeekDroid protect itself (on a rooted phone) against deinstallation or factory reset?
- does it add extra battery drain by running in the background?
Thanks.
avast anti-theft also has a nice web interface where you can send command to your phone, locate with GPS, etc
For me cerberus. I purchased it a time ago and I can use it for 5 devices. It works even after a hard reset and without SIM.

I'm surprised no one has brought up Prey. It has all of the features OP requested and more. Also, it's free and open source.
Using Cerberus too. Flashed the disguised app zip into system.

Does your app survive a factory reset like Avast does on a rooted device?
Hello all..
I have this issue with my Note Edge 915T (T-Mobile Variant). It is unlocked and I use it in Venezuela with Digitel (LTE BAND 3: 1800) and the phone DOES connect to LTE with no issues (I get the 4G/LTE icon), and I can browse with no problems, but no one can call me, nor can I make any calls or text. In other phones, when I call, data drops and I can call and when I finish, data comes back up. HEre, LTE stays up and my call does not get through. Then after some tries, it drops to EDGE and won't pick up LTE until I reboot or something.
If I try a different operator, it goes to HDSPA (3.5G) and I get voice and data (data drops while calling, but it ir normal), but I want to use my operator with LTE.
Im running MM and I deactivated VoLTE as my carrier does not support it, but is there something else I'm missing?
This may sound stupid, but have you set your APNs? You can also try resetting your network. Dial ##72786#. Also Does your carrier require any certain apps. Example FreedomPop requires a specific app for getting/making calls, as they are mainly VOIP MVNO...

Hi! thank you but yes, the APNs are perfect, I can use Data, the issue is that I cant call as the data signal stays in 4G/LTE and with my carrier, when calling, it drops data signal and it calls, here I can't. Im starting to think it has to do with CSC being with TMO, and I should use another one either from my country or a general One (BTU) for example. Will try to flash a rom from a different carrier to see if it works.
The only other option might be *#BAND# (2263),which could be dangerous, if you do not note original settings. Sometimes a complete ODIN can restore.
I normally use Nova Launcher - Widget- Activities- Somewhere under phone or settings. Shortcut Called PhoneInfo or DeviceInfo, which is much safer&consistently works! The app w/ same name no longer works. It took me forever & I always export my desktop, so I have that shortcut. The last option is an app called Samsung Phone Info+, but is paid or free if u know.... I really hate paid apps. It has under menu secret codes as well.
