Guys, I rooted my phone and changed it form Verizon to Tmobile.
I was wondering, with my old T-Mobile phone, I could make wifi calling. However, I noticed that that functionality is absent in my new Custom ROM (SynergyROM VZW S3 | JB 4.1.2)
Could anyone help me with allowing for wifi calling? I am completely new to this stuff, and so I have no clue where to begin.
I looked in Settings> More...> and there was not "Wifi Calling" settings available.
Please help.

A couple more questions so other can be clear:
Was the phone itself originally Vzw and you rooted it to Tmobile? Or did you just install a TMobile ROM?
Also, this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930928 talks about only some ROMs having TMobile wifi calling available. That thread is NOT for the S3, so I'd start with a search for that on the S3 forum.
You'll have to find a ROM that supports it.

I am not quite sure why your saying this is not the S3 forum, is says " Verizon Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"
is there a phone called S3 and not Galaxy S3? If so I, what I meant is the Galaxy S3.
To answer your question; yes this was originally a Vzw phone, that I rooted to a Tmobile. I was thinking of installing a Tmobile Rom on here, but I heard that will break my phone, is that correct?
Thanks.
The thread that I linked to in my previous post that talks about WIFI calling is NOT the S3 forum. I think it's for a Droid, I cannot remember.
I do believe that you are correct about it breaking your phone. If you are able to re-title this post, do so with the title "VZW Rom that supports WIFI calling". That might et you the info for which you are looking.

Anybody seen an update for Wifi Calling on TMobile for a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant with 4.0.4 ROM?
Thread with no solution (yet)
I know of this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591572
but there doesn't seem to be a solution in there, so I thought I would ask others if they had found something else...
Hi, I have a question about my Samsung captivate that is unlocked and running CM9. I have a phone plan with tmobile, and was wondering if I could get the wifi calling feature that is on the vibrant on my captivate. I am comfortable with flashing custom roms and the like, so if I have to make some changes, that is fine.
In short, my question is “Can I get the wifi calling app that is available on the tmobile vibrant on my unlocked captivate running CM9”.
Thanks, Ben Finch
I'm going to assume you have an up to date SIM from T-Mobile. Some older cards that came out just about the time the vibrant did were incompatible with Wi-Fi calling, and required people to get new ones. So, if it doesn't work, that's a possibility.
I work in a phone store, got to see that action first hand.
As for Wi-Fi calling, you shouldn't have to hack unless you're running a stock Rom on the captivate that has unknown source installations (side loading) blocked by default. If that's the case, browse the stickies.
Wi-Fi calling, last I checked, was simply a regular apk. Check out the vibrant and galaxy s 4g forums, I'm sure it's posted there somewhere. I'm out of town and using my phone, otherwise I'd be able to extract it from my wife's g2 and post it. PM me if you don't find it there, I think I can get it from my desktop eventually.

Hi Ben,
I'm having the same exact issue. Did you ever find a solution? If so, please advise. Both Samsung and T-Mobile reps say it's not possible to have Wi-Fi calling with Captivate. Seems there should be a way.
Hi Everyone,
I am about to get an I727 (Galaxy S2 Skyrocket) online. I want to give it to my wife so she can have a reliable phone.
After getting it network unlocked, can I use it with T-Mobile, especially WiFi Calling (I guess I need Stock T-Mobile rom?)
I just want to make sure T-Mobile's Galaxy S2 is identical to AT&T's I727 Skyrocket, and network compatible.
Thanks in advance to those who care to reply.
I did a little bit of searching both here and online (after finally getting the model numbers of T-Mobile and AT&T) the result is they work, but data will not work with each other's networks. So unless I want to use them as 2G devices, and spend a good deal of time trying to root them, 727 won't fully work on T-Mobile network.
Flash a T-Mobile radio. Read this sticky thread.

Rooting is easy. Read the sticky threads and you'll have no problems. Just make sure you read the sticky's fully.

Alright, I've flashed the phone w/ the UVMC6 radio and still nothing. I'm using an AT&T branded Skyrocket. I was told that rooting wasn't necessary but have read and it appears that it's "RATLOCKED" and I'm probably going to have to root it to allow it to use any other network provider's network. Can someone please let me know if this is the case? I have to go to bed, but I guess I'll play around with it some more tomorrow. Thanks.
Re: Will the Skyrocket on T-Mobile be able to use their LTE network?
Using the i757 modem with LTE APN settings has worked for others here with the skyrocket. You'll have to manually enter the tmo apn settings I believe though.
See this thread if you haven't already... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507825
Also, you might not want to spam the forum with multiple posts about the same general topic. If all of your thoughts are contained in one thread, it's much easier for others to figure out what's going on, and it will be looked upon as much more polite in the eyes of other readers.

Use UCMC1 radio
Create new apn "fast.t-mobile.com"
i757m radio is nothing different than UCMC1...Identical bands that is..
So i got a verizon s3 from a friend since he updated to the s4 but im on tmobile and i was wondering if and how i could use it on the tmobile network. i have read that it is possible but i just dont know how to do it. any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
oh and ive already rooted my phone
thanks in advance!!
Search the development section for a thread titled "Set up Verizon Galaxy S3 as World GSM Phone" or another thread titled "Fully Working Verizon S3 n T-Mobile." You should only receive Edge data once it's fully working so you'll want a T-Mobile device if you want higher data speeds.
