I have an unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4. I would like to switch back to T-Mobile network, but on a cheaper plan (like MetroPCS, Walmart Family Mobile, GoSmart Mobile, etc...) Problem is T-Mobile coverage is non existent at my house but otherwise pretty good, so I rely on WiFi calling. I have a TouchWiz based ROM on it currently which did support wifi calling without third party apps on T-Mobile.
Does anybody know definitely what T-Mobile MVNOs support wifi calling? I've read conflicting information on it.

Since WiFi Calling is so flaky on all ICS ROMs I'm wondering if once the One-S comes out if we can take the WiFi calling app from that and use it on our Sensation and have it function 100% since the One-S is shipping with ICS and T-Mo WiFi Calling installed. What do you guys think?
T-Mobile's version of the One s does NOT have WiFi calling support yet, and the app is NOT pre-installed.
Ahh bastards!! Thanks for clarifying this I did not know.
No problem. There may be an update for the one s shortly after launch to add in the current version of WiFi calling support, but nothing is certain. T-Mobile is working hard on gen 2 of their WiFi calling feature (not just for android but across all smart phone platforms), setting up/leasing bandwidth on public WiFi networks to expand (artificially w/ hotspots) their coverage area into areas where their gsm network is lacking, thus also expanding the capabilities of the service itself. They are also working to solve the "hand-off" issue, so that calls started on WiFi won't drop when switching to gsm and vice versa.
I was wondering if there are any Android AT&T phones or any other unlocked phones which are compatible with T-Mobiles USA 3G network, I know some work on their edge network but I want a phone that works on their 3G. I was wondering if there are any
Hi all,
I've read up on a couple of threads here relating to using an international version of the S7 on T-Mobile (Reason being because I want a white version of the phone). People say that the phone works fine other than VoLTE and Wifi Calling. Unfortunetly, Wifi calling is huge for me because T-Mobile service is spotty in my home town and at work and the only way I can get a solid signal is through Wifi.
I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow flash some T-Mobile software onto this international device that would make it think that it is a 930T device and get Wifi calling to work.

I have an unlocked SM-G930W8 (Canada version) s7, and I would like to do WiFi calling using Cricket as my carrier. Is that possible?
The Cricket website says:
"Note:*If you did not purchase your phone from Cricket but it is Wi-Fi Calling capable, you can still use your phone but Wi-Fi Calling will not work."
Cricket does not include the s7 in their list of WiFi calling capable phones. I was thinking one possible solution is to flash it with AT&T firmware because AT&T includes Wi-Fi calling on their s7's. Would that work?
Hi everyone, my wife and I use Verizon and I'm running into a problem that I hope you guys can help me find a solution to.
I recently bought my wife a Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950U (Unlocked by Samsung). Purchased from Amazon. The phone technically works with Verizon, but it seems that it only has partial compatibility with Verizon's CDMA network. I don't totally understand but from what I gather, it works well when it has 4G LTE signal, but really has problems with lesser signals (3G, 2G, 1G). It seems like it has no connection (no calling or data) when it's out of 4G LTE range. Her old phone (HTC 10) seems to have much better compatibility with Verizon's CDMA signals. She really likes the S8, but the importance of her ability to use voice calling outweighs the other benefits of the phone upgrade, so we're going to return the Galaxy S8 and she's going back to the HTC 10 until we find something that works better with Verizon's network.
So now to my questions:
1) Is there a version of the Galaxy S8 that has better network compatibility with Verizon?
2) Are there other Galaxy phones that work better with Verizon's CDMA signals?
3) Can you recommend any other phones that are known to have great compatibility with Verizon? (Google Pixel? any others?)
My goal is to get her a premium phone that is maybe 1-2 years old, but works great with Verizon. It doesn't have to be Samsung. Thanks in advance
