Internet Calling?? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may be a dumb question I dont know?? Anyways I am trying to understand the internet call option in phone settings. Where I live I dont get cell service and I am usually roaming or just have no service and was wondering if I chose to use internet calling while Im at my house if that would work??? Also I am not sure how to set it up cause if Im not mistaken I would have to make an account and I dont have any clue on how to do that?? If ANYONE could please shed some light on this topic for me that would be really awesome!!!!! Thanx in advance..

You may want to try sipdroid. I think you can add your Google Voice number now.

It depends on which one you do if you let them flash it half way then you only get calling and wifi but if you do a full flash then it will let you use the whole phone here is a website to help you do it it's a bit pricey though and you have to already have a cricket number which means going out and buying those crappy phones out there but because it's from the lg optimus line you wont get mms but you will get internet and talking.

Good Night,
I´m having a big issue, I purchased a Nexus S trough Amazon.com, I got the one for T-Mobile, the issue here is that it seems that where I am..... I am outsideof the USA, I´m at Nicaragua.... The data plan for the Nexus S is not working at all I´m able to make calls or texts but I´m not able to go to the Internet at all, the phone always displays that I don´t have a connection active and to Retry later...
Can you help me, is there anything that I can try to make it work?
PS I already called my Service Provider and all the settings are just fine... So I´m not really sure about what is going on....
Thank you in advance for al lyour help

Does your service provider use the aws bands? If not you should only be getting edge speeds. You probably need to check the box for data roaming.

Yes u need to double check that the radio frequency bands are compatible with your network.

You're completely right guys... I'm just in the edge connection... ....

Need Help with Connection to a Network

So I am with some of my friends in Door County, Wisconsin. Both have phones that fully work. One is on US Cellular, the other on T mobile. I am on ATT and have absolutely no service. I only have WiFi, but I look funny using the TextFree app since I need to dance around the cabin to get service. However, I believe I should at least be able to Roam off of the Tmobile network since my friend is using his phone quite well. I just want to be able to text my friends and family without using data. Im gonna try changing to a different modem and see if that does the trick. But I will need help if that fails. Please help. Thank you.
ALSO, my friend has an ATT iphone that connects to ATT, it dances around 1-2 bars, but still gets service. In the network settings, ATT is in the available networks, but I get an error saying its not available. Please help.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Wi Fi doesn't use data. Anyway, sounds like you might want to try a different modem. Sounds like the radio is not strong enough. Or perhaps the internal antenna was damaged.

Sorry.. anyways what I did was switch to a different modem which did help a little bit. Plus I think it takes a couple of days to register with the network if you go to a different area

MMS issue..last try for help for an FXZ...

Edit: that should be need aome help BEFORE an FXZ...
I've mentioned this in a few threads and nobody else seems to have the same problem...
Ever since rooting and updating to 4.4 I have not been able to send an MMS with WiFi enabled...the phone will not kick over to 4g to send the message...
- If I turn WiFi off they send fine
- I can receive them fine with WiFi on or off no problem...
I have not don't a factory reset, but this seems like it would be a system issue which a factory reset won't help...I don't want to FXZ because I'll lose root...but its becoming annoying to deal with...
So hopefully SOMEONE can help me lol

I have two suggestions. Try switching from Global to LTE/CDMA. If that doesn't work try to send one with your ad blocker disabled, assuming you use one. Seems strange but some people on Verizon forums say it solved the same issue you describe on the S4.
Also wondering if you use the LTE OnOff app and set it to CDMA (auto) if it would send. Maybe you have low 4G signal at home? I have low signal at my home but my phone always finds the 4G signal. However it's rare I can get any data from it. I get better reception with 3G. I know you said it sends fine over 4G with wifi off but might be worth experimenting with.

Actually, going with a different adblocker has done the trick...still blocking ads...and sending mms just fine...

Do you have Spark in your market? Might take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715529

Wouldn't matter the market.
Tri-band Sprint phones can't have data & voice, unless you're on WiFi.
When VoIP gets around it won't be as big of a deal but I doubt that happens with VoLTE while this phone is around, probably in another year or 2 on those phones.
