Traveling to Europe and Wifi calling options? - AT&T LG G3

All,
Going to be traveling to Europe at the end of August. Yes I know I can pay $10 to unlock my phone, which I am planning to do also, but would like to know what options are out there that would allow me to use Wifi calling ie Tmobile Wifi calling solution for the At&t LG G3? I would like the option to fwd my calls to the Wifi Calling number and be able to dial back to the states via Wifi.
Any good solutions out there?
Thanks!

Now? Hangouts. Enjoy

[Devs] Lets get Wifi Calling working on these custom ROMs,

I require this since i have low signal at my house and rely on the Wifi Calling app, and i'm sure i'm not alone. I'm devoting this thread to this. JBoogie, i've been told you're the man with the skills here, so if i can help in any way let me know.
Agreed! I've asked more and more, but I haven't gotten an answer - I've no signal in my dorm, where I live! And i need wifi calling

lol, i searched and the only posts that came back was the one by you asking if it worked! If i knew anything about making this work i would!
Guys none of them have it. But there was an apk put up.somewhere. you should ask jboogie3 to help you with making a zip file so that you can flash it on any rom.

Side question.. does anybody know of which SBFs contain wifi calling?
Wifi calling? Wifi can access moible network? Or do you mean VOIP?
Maybe should turn to your carrier. And ask them whether they can supply sets like femtocell.
in defy cm7 2.3.5...voip calls works..inbound/outbound..you just need to have a active SIP line to apply in the internet calling accts.
as long as you have a data/wifi active & connected your defy-its magic.
tried it myself & used a SIP acct..works great on overseas intl calls too..
I assume that everyone is talking about the Kineto UMA app that is being introduced on some of the ?Orange branded roms ?
There is a good thread here on XDA which has the Kineto android app, but it looks like it depends on other dependancies which need to be built into a custom rom.
Will be watching this thread with interest though.

In the US, T-Mobile provides WiFi Calling free for its customers. Another benefit is people can call your mobile phone number
If someone using a Froyo rom, using tmobile US service, and does not currently have Wifi calling - send me a pm.
I think I have this working, but as I'm not in the US, or using tmobile, I cannot test this.
So ya get in touch and well see what we can do.

Skype (and other wifi calling apps) are available on the market; so why ask to 'bloat' roms with this??
Just use MarketEnabler and try a US provider if Skype is not available for you to download.

Skype is not free to call phones (only Skype-to-Skype) and people cannot call your mobile phone number!

I don't think some of you guys are catching this. Lookup T-Mobile uma. It allows you to make calls using wifi when you are out of the coverage area. It is not a separate sip acct, it uses your cell minutes.

If you're question is in regards to T-mobile US. Then the answer is yes it is free and you won't be changed.
Seems too good to be true because my internet is so fast. Are you sure?

Positive, as long as you have ANY sort of data plan. If you're on the pay per megebyte play your screwed if you use the net at all. I've been tethering with my phones for about 3 years now on t-mobile with plans that don't allow it.
Does anybody know about using the wifi tethering for Cincinnati Bell? With unlimited data do we get away with tethering without being noticed or charged?
where did you get the app to wifi tether? I am not seeing the sprint icon that would normally be there...do i have to get the rooted wifi tether app? Can't believe there is no voicemail icon either....weird.

You can access voicemail settings when inside the phone app, just bring up the menu-->settings-->voicemail
And the tethering is (from the homescreen) menu-->settings-->more-->tethering and portable hotspot

What do you mean voicemail downloaded and to notify you? Whenever I get a vm I receive a notification for it..
And with cm10 I don't think there is a shortcut or widget for the hotspot

Google voice will transcribe your voicemails for you , also you can use foxfi for tethering.

Update PRL to restore LTE???

I constantly get stuck in 3g and when I update the PRL, my signal will switch to LTE and work fine for a while. Is this common or do I have a defective phone? I went to the Samsung reps @ Best Buy and all he did was reinstall an update.

I would check which APN your phone goes to on the phone, Settings -> More Networks -> Mobile Networks -> click either Access Pint Names (to check which APN selected) or click Network Type (make sure automatic or CDMA/LTE, not just 3G).
Its set to CMDA/LTE and the APN is APN2 LTE (n.ispsn) internet. There are no other APNs.

Ok after some troubleshooting, it has nothing to do with the PRL. I can put the phone in and out of airplane mode and it will aquire LTE. Is this happening to anyone else or should I take my phone back for repair?

There's no way to repair it. I've had this issue since I bought the S5 at launch. This is just how it is until the towers are completely upgraded. Calling Sprint gets you no where most of the time about this issue. They will say the phone is defective but you can find many many ppl having this issue.

I know that it's not a real solution, but I found an app, LTE Discovery, that does this in the background. So far I have not seen 3g on my phone.

I had to pay $1.99 for full access, but there is an option to only cycle when on 3g. It does it all in the background, and doesn't really drain the battery. My only complaint is that it stays active and cycling while on wi-fi in a non LTE area. I've only had that in one place in KC, but no wireless service works at that location.
On 4G LTE, PRL's update automatically each time they connect to a tower. I think only 3G and earlier did you have to manually update PRL's. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's right. So technically, just cycling through airplane mode would update your PRL
my S5 won't receive calls or text
My S5 won't receive calls or texts. I spent hours with Sprint on the line, they were sending updates, having me manually program it and nothing. They would call my cell and straight to VM. They would send text, and i wouldnt get them.
I'm having to send it back, I'm not sure I will get another S5. I'm thinking a phone should be able to receive/make actual calls.

You are probably in an area that is in the partial stages of a Spark Upgrade. If you disable LTE bands 41 and 26 but leave LTE band 25 enabled, you will have stable data.

how to unlock AWS

Sprint note 5 unlock full , is there a way to get tmobile 4glte on this ? I was told that sprint lock that from there phones so I have to enable aws
The Sprint Note 5 variant contains the LTE bands to support Tmobile's B4 and B12 LTE network. If its unlocked you don't have to do anything but just pop in a Tmobile sim card. Not sure what is the confusion is. In addition you have to set your Network mode to be Automatic in Mobile Networks settings.
My note 5 is unlocked by sprint. And i do not get LTE from tmobile, only 3g. When i switch to automatic, it stops working and i get a "!"
Yup but it does have 4glte capabilities, also I was suggested to try verizon but they don't have unlimited plan, at least know I get my clients photos and respond don't have to hang up and all that
I get lte on mine but texts only work on 3g unless I use my google voice number

WiFi calling on Verizon?

Anyone know IF WiFi calling can be enabled on the Verizon network? I know it's enabled through my carrier (coming from Pixel 3 XL)
I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

i think WiFi texting is tied to WiFi calling they really handicapped the device on Verizon's network. All it can do is essentially make and receive calls...
I know the T-Mobile version can on T-Mobile, but it's there anything that keeps the unlocked version from doing it on T-Mobile? I may switch if that's the case.
I love this phone so much I may have to switch to T-Mobile.

I did figure out a way to 'make' the option appear using a newer verizon of the Oneplus Logkit apk...(dial *#800#, pick Oneplus Logkit>Function Switch> VoWifi Switch). But after enabling it, it doesn't seem to work yet, and it somehow seems to break MMS if it's on. Not sure if they are actually working on it or not, but I wish someone could see if they could get it working. I think I got the APK from here, but I can't remember from where, so whoever you are, I'm sorry for not crediting you. If someone wants to mess around with it...by all means.

Install the Verizon Messages (Message+) and you should be able to do wifi texting. I tried the log kit as well and it doesn't seem like VOWifi is working but it is hard to tell. I can make Wifi calls using Google Voice and that number but only if not in Airplane mode. Seems to be a bug as it says to turn off airplane. Voice then proceeds to make a wifi call. Maybe the same effect with regular VOWifi where it would use wifi if there is no cell signal.

I actually switched to t-mobile, and voice over wifi, wifi texting and all that showed up and work great. Message+ does not allow wifi texting on Verizon on this phone, tier 2 support said development phones (that's what the OP7 is certified under) are not eligible to use advanced features on the network, including, voice over wifi, video calling and text over wifi using Verizon messages.
I got text over WiFi to work with Verizon messages + and use Google Hangouts over WiFi for the calls. Decent enough work around.
