You do realize that they'll be selling it for about 600 bucks, right? Their N4 is currently being sold outright at $427.99, a gigantic markup from the actual MSRP.
Avoid buying a Nexus from T-Mobile at all costs, unless you're really desperate to spread the payments out. Either way, you're looking at 600 bucks.

Will the T-Mobile marked up version support Wi-Fi calling? That feature was a boon when I was overseas (or in flight) and called home via wifi.

Sadly, no. No Nexus phone has ever had T-Mobile wifi calling and thats not going to change.

That's my question too. It would be worth a new 2 year commitment if I could get wifi calling.
I'm also waiting for Tmobile to 'force' me into a family simple choice plan with some kind of incentive.

Didn't the T-mobile sold version of Nexus 4 have Wi-Fi calling? I could be wrong (never owned it).

maybe this time, the wifi calling bits from the LG G2 will find their way into a N5 ROM.

Nope. TMo sold the same exact device that you would get if you purchased from the Play Store.

I had asked around in some threads to find out if that was true awhile ago. It's because the phone was meant to be unlocked (Tmobile locked it) that they couldn't put it on. It's just not compatible.

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.

Hi All, I'm a verizon user currently with a Galaxy S3, however in a few days my contract ends and I need a new phone (my S3 screen broke and I don't plan on fixing it) and I was wondering, is the Nexus 5 capable of fully running in Verizon network? is someone using it in verizon?
Sorry if this question has been asked many times, but I trully can't find a decent and recent answer to it.

It supports LTE on T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, and any MVNO/pre-paid with access to those carriers' LTE networks. I'm using it on AIO Wireless with LTE.

Absolutely not on both counts. The Nexus 5 is a GSM phone, Verizon's network is CDMA. If I were you I would ditch Verizon for either T-Mobile or AT&T, of if you prefer, you can buy service from an MVNO that uses one of their networks.

This is the reason I switched to T-Mobile after 9 years of Being on Verizon. Been with Verizon since right before my 18th bday (27 now) and after all those years of basically being pretty damn happy with my service, they let me down too many times in the last 2 years. First by the fiasco that was the Verizon version of the Galaxy Nexus, 2nd by not getting the Nexus 4 and then finally, not getting the Nexus 5.
So The fact that they, in my opinion, are ruining Android on CDMA networks, and them not carrying the Nexus 5, was just the final straw and I suspended my account until I can afford to early terminate my Two lines (which are up soon anyways, so I may just un-suspend and let them run their course) and I switched to T-Mobile, got my Nexus 4 while I waited for the 5 to be in Stock, and then Got my Nexus 5.
I also traded in the Note 3 I had on Verizon (with a locked Bootloader) for a T-Mobile version that has an unlocked bootloader.
Case in Point, Verizon is worthless for Android users.

No verizon is to blame for messing up the Galaxy Nexus so bad that Google wont let them carry Nexus devices anymore, and before you ask about what htey did with the Galaxy Nexus that was so bad, use GOOGLE ! lol
oh and the hardware would support Verizon, Verizon just doesn't support the hardware

The Nexus 5 is a Sprint phone. Sprint phones can work on Verizon. How do you that? You make work through illegal methods (EXTREMELY DIFFICULT). Which is what I'm working on. My parents won't let me leave Verizon easily. So I kinda have no choice technically. But I ordered a T-mo Sim card anyways and I might just leave without saying anything. But I'm still working on it till it arrives.

Cloning to get a Nexus 5 to work CDMA on Verizon is a total waste....Evdo access only -you would be better off using a different device to WiFi hotspot and just use the Nexus 5 as a tablet until you can leave Verizon. Even if you had a friend internally add the MEID you would still be missing out on the LTE coverage. Big hassle to be going backwards in terms of data connectivity. You could make Google Hangouts calls over the tethered connection and utilizing Google Voice you can forward all calls to Google Talk/Hangouts so it would be like using a WiFi Phone.

I was unaware of the Band 13 support. (I know Verizon's Band 4 LTE AWS is supported)
If you have your Nexus 5 showing Band 13 support and a Verizon rep willing to add your MEID into Verizon's approval list...then I do not see a dilemma with having a full functioning Nexus 5 on Verizon. (Nothing Illegal this route)

T-Mobile to Sprint? Activation Question/ Nexus 5

Question: I have a Nexus 5 on T-Mobile's network and would like to switch to Sprint. I know with Sprint you have to get a ICC ID (SIM Card) from Sprint. My question is will Sprint activate my phone on their $60 Unlimited Everything PREPAID plan or ANY plan what so ever? According to articles the Nexus 5 has been dropped from the BYOSD Banned list meaning we can buy the Nexus 5 from the Play Store and activate it on Sprint's Network.
I want to try the Spark Network in my area for at least a month or so. I know the general consensus is that Sprint suck, but I have liked them as a company when I was a customer and want to try this all new Spark Network and compare Speeds.
So how can I switch over? Or is it possible to switch over at all?

I have a question too, i got a T-Mobile sim in my Nexus 5 under about Phone it shows IMEI
but when i stick a Sprint sim will it show ESN?

If you're thinking Sprint you ought to look at Ting. Same network (yes, Spark) but lower costs.

OK so you had the unfortunate luck of having a defective SIM card and a tower near your home that was being fixed. After both were corrected you stated that you were very happy but then a couple of weeks later you claim to be tired of sprints BS without giving any other details.
Yeah.. definitely more of an isolated event than a company problem. Are some people with Nexus 5 phones having LTE problems? Yes it sure seems like it. Are some people with other phones having LTE problems? I think it's very safe to say that is probably the case as well.
You have to remember that for every one person on these boards that complain about their service there are probably tens of thousands of others who have had no issues whatsoever. So for you to just come straight out and state such a strong statement "Seriously, do not go with Sprint, you will be sorry if you do" based only on your personal experience, which you didn't even bother to explain at the time of that post, is in my opinion flat out incompetent and naive.

Buddy, I am not going to argue with you. As I stated (on the OTHER thread you quoted me on) I am entitled in my opinion, and will share it with whomever I feel.
I feel that you being on Ting is a stupid idea, but you probably think its great. You probably think signing a 2 year is stupid, but, I would take that over anything. We can agree to disagree all day long, nothing can change that.
Thats the great thing about opinions my man, we all have them, and thankfully we have the first amendment, and can speak our minds.

Disregarding the completely useless aforementioned posts, the Nexus 5 requires the "spark" update in order to access the Sprint Spark (Clearwire TDD-LTE) network and B26 (LTE 800). Some users have been able to access a few TDD-LTE towers here and there but the vast majority of users have not been able to even with the knowledge that the site is broadcasting B41 LTE that other Spark devices (GS4T / LG G2/ etc) pick up.
In other words you'll only be accessing the PCS LTE network which are in varying stages of progress in all markets which may or may not be loaded / overloaded. So the Nexus 5 is not a device you want to use to test the "Spark" network at least until LG / Google gets the Spark update out sometime in 1Q 2014.

Verizon WiFi Calling

Here's some interesting news for those of us on Verizon. I wonder if this will be included in a future update from Motorola?
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/12/07/verizon-introduces-wifi-calling-tomorrow-to-the-galaxy-s6/

people on iphone for a while could use verizon messages to place wifi calls not sure about android you can try,and I would guess if verizon allows them then sure why not

what i would like to know if we are going to get it, seeing that we didn't get our phones from verizon.......

No reason for verizon to waste their time developing that for this phone when the have their own version of the phone to take care of.

Wifi calling is part of IMS, much like VoLTE. Doesn't really take much to go from VoLTE to Wifi calling. It just needs to be enabled. In some of the logs I have on 6.0, there are some IMS entries regarding VoLTE, VoWifi, ViLTE (Video over LTE), and ViWifi. Only VoLTE returns true back to the carrier.
Whether carriers will allow it is a different story altogether. Knowing Verizon, it'll be available only on Verizon branded devices (carrier variants). I wouldn't be surprised to see the Droid Turbo 2 getting VZW Wifi calling in 6.0.

I just got a cell signal booster from Verizon as my new house has little coverage. The rep informed me of WiFi calling coming but no exact time frame. So I had to spend $175 to purchase an already antiquated booster. Damn Verizon.

What's the difference between (carrier enabled) WiFi calling via the stock phone app versus calling someone via the Hangouts dialer app? Aren't they both essentially doing the same thing?

I have found the Hangouts Dialer to be unreliable. Sometimes it sounds like you are drowning under water to the other party. It also doesn't seem to ring on incoming calls due to an IPv6 bug with Android, that Google refuses to fix...unless you root and disable IPv6.

I realize it's too late for you, but for others, if you're out of, or near the end of your contract, you can usually get them to send you a network extender for free. I called them a few years ago, and told them how my contract was almost up, and I was going to explore other providers, for better service. Once I said that, they offered to send me the extender at no charge.

Carrier Wifi calling extends the carrier network over Wifi, so you still receive calls/texts outside of your service area or deep underground. What they do is allow connections through untrusted Wifi APs and use a secure tunneling connection to their IMS framework via the internet. So, when someone calls your phone, it routes it back to your phone over the same connection and you get the call over Wifi.

whats the likelihood that we will get this working for us, any technical hurdles is this something once verizon gets to other phones will we be able to port it. just curious this will be the determining factor for me buying unlocked phones if verizon is going to screw us over i might just have to switch carriers.....
