If you're on Verizon (or any CDMA carrier), the only way you could do it would be if your data connection was via Wi-Fi. CDMA networks do not support both voice and data at the same time (although there's hope with the HTC Thunderbolt 4G device soon to be released).

AT&T claims that they are able to detect if someone is using their device as a hotspot and that they are going to start forcing those users to pay for the tethering plan, the article is here:

Does anyone know if there is really a way for AT&T to detect if a phone is a hotspot (aside from data usage) or if they are bluffing. If we are using a non AT&T ROM, can they still detect?
Theres a thread in general about this

I dont know if im posting on the right place but anyway i have a dealer plan on att and currently they have me on the unlmited data plan for a blackberry i just got an inspire so the data does not work unless its switched to the hspa data code and its a huge hassle to track down my att rep and get her to switch it is there an app that will make the data work on the phone with the blackberry data like an apn changer or something if so plase help.

So I was in the Dinc forum browsing around. I ran across a thread discussing texting and talk at the same time. The consensus is that cdma/gsm phones (Dinc 2 and ThunderBolt) will receive this feature soon. Since the D2G is such a phone, I wonder aloud if it will come to pass that we will also be freed from our one or the other bonds.

Any links to this?
I am not certain if this link will work. I am using xda app on the phone. But if it does not, you can find the info in the HTC Incredible forum under the "OTA Gingerbread update coming soon" thead.

i thought for sure that data/voice at the same time was a limitation of cdma phones, the thunderbolt already has data/voice at the same time since its a 4g phone and thus doesnt have that limitation.
I guess I'll have to repost.
Almost any GSM phone that supports GPRS (and anything above GPRS) can run voice and data at the same time; it's implied for GPRS class 4 and higher, and for anything HSPA.
The only thing preventing that is the carrier's network settings.
LTE is, in essense, a “data-only” network, and voice goes over LTE using the exact same means as data, i.e. it gets sent as your regular IP packets along with anything “data”-related like web browsing etc; in LTE the only difference between voice and data is that VoIP packets have the maximum possible QoS priority.
Therefore, Thunderbolt, as an LTE phone, always uses only data, no “voice” in the CDMA/GSM sense of that term.
It has nothing to do with 4G, 3G, or 2G. My 2003-made Motorola V547 was a 2G phone with GSM+EDGE, and was GPRS class 4 supporting simultaneous voice and data.
Same for my old Ericsson T68, which was GSM+GPRS, and also supported it.
Texting is done on the 1xrtt overhead messaging on cdma. Data is done on EVDO. Texting during a call works fine, data during a call is not possible unless on wifi.

As of now VZW is not doing voice over IP on the LTE network. 4g phones support voice and data at the same time as the voice is still on 1x and data is on LTE as stated in above post- two different network elements.

The Tbolt can do voice and data at the same time while on 3G. It's a chip (SVDO) in the phone that allows this to be possible.
Like is their a program out to unlock it or do I have to to those websites and give them the imei

Rooting will give you an unlocked sim, if thats an option for you.
And on "Other", you only got T-Mobile USA, which will only give you EDGE speeds.
My phone is already rooted.. I'm running the sense 3.0 ROM... So does that mean my phone is unlocked... I plan on selling to some one who is on tmobile

My Inspire is unlocked, achieved it from rooting. i am currently using H2O Wireless SIM and 50$ a month unlimited plan, the service is great! although its not unlimited data, 100mb of data a month, but i usually only use WIFI for all my data so thats ok with me, but there is another option, its called Simple Mobile, Unlimited EVERYTHING and up to 4g speeds in some areas for 60$ a month, its a GSM chip so it can be use in an unlocked HTC Inspire... im thinking of switching to simple mobile from H2O wirelss for the unlimited data.... although my area doesnot support 4g speeds yet :*( they have a coverage map on the website that shows where their 4g speeds are covered
Well i tryed to post the links to simple mobile and H2O Wireless, but i am new to these fourms and it says i cannot post links from outside sources yet :/ but just google H2O Wireless, or Simple Mobile, Thanks!
As long as you put in you apn settibgs correctly on your inspire and you should be good!!you need that companys apn settingss for their internet and mms service!
Has anyone gotten the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling features to work on the moto x?

Doubt it. There was a huge bounty for someone to get it working on the nexus 4. Never happened. Probably won't happen here either.
I'm on Republic Wireless, our moto x is a modded sprint phone. My WiFi calling works amazing.
PS I used to be on T-Mobile with my HTC One. I just couldn't resist the savings that RW gives me.

How's sprint service? I'm tempted, but everything I hear about it is horrible. I had sprint before and it was bad, especially data.
I had sprint before actually. I had a GSII that I bought on contract 30 days before the GSIII announced and launched. So I was stuck with a 4G wimax phone in an area where we have no sort of 4G. And I was stuck paying for that useless 4G.
I'm happy with republic since with WiFi I don't worry about call reception. And it roams on Verizon if needed.
And for data plans I can pay and use 3G if I wanted to or 4G if it ever comes here. But I'm happy not having data when driving or shopping. And only paying $10 makes me happy with that decision.
But yes I won't lie. Sprints 3G is usually abysmal. My fiancée just got an iPhone 5S on sprints one up. Now he's paying $96/month for the same service I get on a ****ty iSheep device.
If I wanted to use 4G I'd only have to pay $40/month and thats comparable to T-Mobile pre and postpaid. And republic let's you switxh plans twice a month if you want. They are talking of simply selling buckets of data too for people like me that are happy with just cell calls And texts with WiFi only data, but occasionally wish we had a bit of mobile data.

I have sprint, how do I use Wi-Fi calling?
Sent from my XT1056 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No input on Wi-Fi calling but I will chime in on Sprint services with the Moto X!
I am coming from and 18 month old Evo LTE, rooted to the Moto X with the Sprint SIM card installed (bought from MotoMaker Cyber Monday) Had to activate the phone through a chat conversation on the activation website.
-I will admit that I am now actually very pleased with Sprint service in my area....
-It actually connects really well to 4G and STAYS connected....
-It (usually) re-connects to 4G when in an area of 4G unlike with my Evo (meaning it would sometimes connect to 4G then the next day I wouldn't even be able to connect to force 4G in the same location)
-The Sprint 4G speeds SUCK at best though. Check Sensorly speeds in my 4G area..... you may see a 14mb but average would MAYBE be 6MB, me that's 3G speeds.
-I still am thinking of dropping Sprint. Sure it's unlimited but Sprint has taught me to rely on Wi-Fi.
Well doing some research I found that republic wireless uses sprint signal. Even doing a coverage check they say to look at sprints maps. So I also seen that bringing a sprint phone to republic wireless is not possible because of republics wifi calling or what they call hybrid calling has specific code baked into their phones Rom.
So with that info how hard would it be to extract that features code from their Roms for use on Sprint phone s? Or could a Sprint phone flash a republic rom and be able to use that wifi calling feature on Sprint.
Wifi Calling has always been closed source and will never be available on 3rd party ROM......If something change it would be #1 news on XDA
So just to put this out there. My cousin has a HTC one sprint phone and he was complaining how it kept popping up something about unable to connect to WiFi calling whenever he tried to call someone. I took a look at his phone and were settings in his phone related to WiFi calling. But it was wanting account information or a sip account. Thought that was interesting.

I think the SIP internet calling options were added waaay back in GB?. Maybe it wasn't until ICS. OP wants native wifi calling. Google Voice + Groove IP is about as close as you can get for now.
Odd, I thought you could activate Internet Calling with a build.prop change & something in the permissions folder... Noticed I had it on my CM10.1.3 Galaxy Note.
