If you have a Sprint Galaxy Tab and would like to get the feel of making phone calls try this app from the Market "Line2" you will be able to grab a phone # from any area code in the us.
I came across another post talking about this great app, Posted By dfullerman.
There's already a post on this.
It looks like you work for them and are just trying to advertise here.
The UI sucks.

1. if u take a look, I mention that there is another post talking about this, I notice that one after I did mine and for the record I call on those that have a Sprint Tab like I do.
2. if I work for then, at least I have something to do, over 200 people came across this but only u have to come up with something negative.
3. if u dont like the UI maybe others do.
4. XDA is a community for people to help each other.
I Have t-mobile's Galaxy Tab with Line2 & Google Voice & It. works great!

How would one go about cancelling the service after a month?......plus, do we need to register a credit card or something? My tab works off WiFi so I don't see how i'd be charged

There is no contract, if you want you can just go with the month program they would send you an email for your next payment, I did the $49.00 for the 6 months.
I'm using a pre-paid credit card
THanks for the prompt response.......so just install app, register and voila! Able to make phone calls?!?!?!

Ive got the skype mobile apk installed and running on the evo 4g cm7 rom.... the only problem is that it check to see what network you are on, and if its not verizon its a no go.... even on roam only it say call verizon and have plan upgraded. so theres no out smarting it.... can a developer go into the files and crack it to not search for service provider.... or accept sprint as a provider? we are so much closer to true mobile skype. thanks
What makes you think it's a network check vs. a hardware/firmware/phone check? Just curious, but either way should *in theory* be easy to emulate or bypass.

I just figured because when i was on sprints 3g it said you must have verizon... but when i set my phone to roam only on verizons network, it then said call verizon and have mobile data plan updated, so i used deductive reasoning to assume that its probably testing network some how... idk tho. can you try to edit the files?

I downloaded the attached apk and ran some tests... OP is right, the app does go over the mobile network to verify that you are connected to Verizon. I was connected to WiFi and it used my mobile network all of a sudden to try to login, so i disabled the mobile data and it wont login...

I wonder why they went that route... Now the verizon cant use skype over wifi only..... But yea I kinda knew it was testing the network..... Any luck modifying the files any one?
See if this one works for you.I used to include this app in my old ROMs,but there is no video calls,just a basic data calls...
DOWNLOAD
I would like to add that I tried using airplane mode with wifi on and it doesn't let you sign on. It says not available over wifi. The verizon check has to be bypassed.
I guess baller already kinda said that...

I thought this had video chat. isn't regular skype already in the market? i don't use it, I just thought it was already there so i thought this was video chat skype
The app is fairly obfuscated, but I might poke at it a bit...
Code:
String[] arrayOfString = new String[1];
arrayOfString[0] = "verizon wireless";
also
Code:
String str1 = paramTelephonyManager.getNetworkOperatorName();

tryed the apk on xoom and it worked fine. Didn't see any video support.
hmmmmm looks like we were tricked... my understanding was that this version is "Skype Mobile Live" is different than the "Skype" in the market. they even have different icons.... and it was supposedly supposed to have video. maybe its only mobile to mobile video. idk but if its just the same app, its not worth the trouble. But i recall at a hands on they said it had video support.
Well I got past the "requires verizon wireless" check.
I'll mess around with it more at home tonight.

there is no need to mess around with this app. the op has tricked us. this app is the same app that is already in the market available for all phones. skype did show an updated video chat app but this isn't it.
Hi - I'm new to the forum - just wondering if any others users here are running their HTC Evo Shift on Boost Mobile?
My apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum or is covered in another thread – I know there are a lot of posts in the general forum about running smartphones on Boost Mobile, but my searches weren’t returning anything specific to the HTC Evo Shift on Boost.
I've recently rooted my phone (thanks to this thread) and now I am hoping to find solutions for a couple of issues that are inherent to running the Shift on Boost:
Voicemail
Understandably my Boost voicemails aren't syncing up with the stock voicemail app that came designed for Sprint. It's not the end of the world to have to auto-dial my own phone number to manage my voicemails manually, but it would be nice to view them through an application – or, at the very least, get notifications & alerts when new voicemails are received. I've been looking at services such as YouMail and HulloMail – but from what I understand; Boost Mobile does not support the call forwarding features that are necessary for these to work. Are there any other Evo Shift users on Boost here that have found a workaround for their voicemail?
MMS
Yes, I know the issue of MMS functionality on Boost Mobile has been covered in a dozen or more other threads on the general forum. However, those threads deal with a lot of different phones – they do not address MMS issues on the Evo Shift specifically. The few solutions suggested there have not worked on my Evo Shift so far.
Just to clarify – I have no trouble sending outbound MMS messages. My pictures and videos seem to be delivered normally to the recipients. The problem is with receiving inbound MMS messages. Rather than receiving a message with the MMS content displayed, I am sent a normal text message from Boost Mobile that essentially says “Hi you’ve received a media message, click here to view it!” and then it provides a link to https://mediamail.boostmobile.com where I’m supposed to go and log in to my account to view whatever picture or video was just sent to me. Obviously, this is incredibly annoying. To make matters worse – the link that Boost provides in their text message doesn’t even work – I have to go open my web browsing app and pull up my bookmark for the media mail website.
Is there an Evo Shift user on this forum who has found a way to receive true MMS functionality through Boost Mobile? So far I’ve just been tinkering with the MMS Server URL under the advanced phone settings (##3282#), and that is not working. I’ve heard mention of the need to change or delete certain apk or codex files – or to do something with the apn – but there were no clearly defined instructions on how to do that... and to be honest, I’m still learning what those terms really mean.
And finally – if someone could point me towards a thread that provides some very introductory information about custom ROM’s for the Evo Shift – such as how they are used, what enhancements they bring to the Evo Shift – and what are the inherent risks or downsides from using them… that would really be appreciated. I’m assuming that is the next subject for me to start exploring now that I’ve successfully perm-rooted my phone. I've been browsing the development forum, but much of it is over my head.
Many thanks.

Are you talking about the 4:25 mark where he goes in and retrieves the MMS he sent to himself?
I hate to say it.. but I think that might be a little slight-of-hand... it looks to me like he is just viewing the original sent message, not one he received. As I mentioned before - there is no issue with sending MMS, you just can't receive it.
If you look at the messages below the one he sent to himself... it's the "9000" text from Boost Mobile directing him to the media mail website.
I'll post a comment on his video, see if I can get a response.
thanks!

i just talked to sean's partner on the phone (hes local to me) and assures me they have that kink worked out.
hate to say it but the kids pretty damned good despite the legality issues of some of his work.
anyways ive recently switched a sprint evo shift to boost via a pick-a-choose process i collected from scouring the internet for days... some of it from XDA actually...
im considering packing it into a solution... anyways the only feature lost was visual voicemail.

Oh, that's great! Thanks for confirming this.
So - the question now is how did they do it. Not sure I can justify mailing my phone down to them and paying whatever $ to get it fixed, but it sure would be nice to have a solution for the MMS problem.
At least we know its possible though. Someone on another forum is saying it has to do with what "donor phone" was used to activate the Boost account... if the donor phone had true MMS capability, then the new phone will too. If not, then you're stuck with Boost media mail.
I handed my phone off to a local cellular repair shop to set it up for Boost service, and god only knows what they used to activate it. I should probably start with them if I want answers.
If anyone could PM me or post a link to a step-by-step guide to using my Evo 4G on boost mobile. Thanks.
I have a Evo shift on Boost fully functional! if you are on a stock htc sense rom, you can go into the epst settings by dialing##3282#, then select edit, go to the MMSC, and change that to mm.myboostmobile.com, that should fix your MMS, as far as voicemail goes, you cannot get notifications on the stock sprint rom, but you can if you switch to Cyanogen mod 7... if you switch, which i reccomend, especially because battery life is a million times better, then you will have to download APN manager to change MMS settings to get MMS to work on that ROM... let me know if you have any questions, it took me a month to get all of this figured out, so I would be glad to save someone the headache
I made a post of this but thought it wouldn't be harmful to include it here...
I'm having troubles with my 3G speed, I think the person that flashed my phone skipped some steps or wasnt too experienced...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15324202#post15324202
Hope you guys can help me
More than likely he did, download speed test from the market and tell me what your are getting!
I recently flashed a shift over to boost mobile, but I think some of the EPST settings are messed up. Can anyone that has a working shift on boost mobile post the EPST settings?
I flashed my wives shift to boost. I'm not sure where you guys are getting your information but your should always check your an/aaa authorization when having your phone flashed and they don't provide a donor. To check if you are on 3g do this
##debug#>EVDO Engineering>AN/AAA Authentication
Should say 1 = Authenticated
Anything else is not 3g its 1x
For voicemails just download voice mail notifier or something similar from market.
This is easy stuff. The guides around the internet make it seem like its harder than it is to do these things.
I'm not sure if I addressed all the questions but I'll check back later if not

thanks in advanced
evo shift on boost
i have an evo shift on boost for the last 4 months. just recently it started going haywire. everytime i turn it on, it starts clicking on random stuff. any thoughts? i cant post any specifics cause it wont allow me to navigate at all. its a paperweight that accepts incoming calls. halp me, iz not a cheezburger!
The EVO shift is confirmed not to work right for boost. It's best to stick with the EVO 4G or the new boost slider the Transform Ultra.

I am having a problem receiving texts from only 2 of my contacts. This has persisted thru 2 devices and custom and stock roms, so thinking its a network problem. However, in calling AT&T, they (of course) could find no visual reason for this. It started on my skyrocket with slimbean build 6, but has persisted thru updating builds on that, then I got a new s3 and of course brand new sim and am running stock based deTmobilized on that. One contact is AT&T also, while the other is T-Mobile. AT&T gave me a line about my Gmail account, and if I could troubleshoot by putting my sim in a non android phone to test. I don't have access to any non android phone (why would I want to? Lol) Can anyone try to help me figure this out? wouldn't be a big deal but since one contact is having my grandbaby, I really need to be able to stay in contact with her since I live 800 miles from her. Tia for any help, suggestions, anything.
Hmm lets see
Try changing sim(of another company)
Make sure u dont have blocked them and back up in sd card
See if that two people get message like sending failed may be problem in their mobile

I found a S3 today and it looks BRAND NEW. no scratches, in a case, looks perfect. So I want to be able to give it back to the owner. I went into my verizon store and they said they wouldnt do anything. It was a young guy and maybe he didnt care or maybe because its hawaii and everyone is laid back... Anyways, I want to be able to return this phone to its owner. I tried putting in random passwords for the lock screen and i got up to attempt 55 and its not asking for an email; though i dont know if it would show their email. Anyway I can hook it up USB and use a debugger and grab some kind of info? Name? Number? Email? Bypass lock screen to call one of their contacts? Any help would be great!

Id try the vzw route again. im surprised theyre unwilling to help. maybe call the 1800 number and tehy might be able to help and relay information to the store closest to you wtihout giving out the persons information to you over the phone. or call local PD and see if anyone reported something like that stolen. maybe they have the persons info on hand in case its found.

Carrier is not useful at all! i once ended up buying A AT&T Iphone and it was around the time they started Black Listing IMEI, Anyways long story short..the guy who sold it to me had stolen it! So went to the Store to try to see if they will call the owner and give it back. They told me if id try to do that i could possibly end up in trouble and just toss the device in the garbage or keep it as a Ipod.

That would still keep the lock if all you did was wipe the caches. I had an idea of maybe using a no wipe stock image to Odin flash but wouldn't the same thing happen with the lock screen? Either way, I think runs the risk of it bootlooping and there would be less chance of getting through and calling someone. If it's rooted, maybe there is a nandroid you could restore and maybe they didn't set the lockscreen up?
