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 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 purchased a Galaxy S7 SM-G930A (AT&T) at a discount but I use T-Mobile. Is it possible to load this phone with the stock T-Mobile S7 image? I currently cannot use WiFi calling because it is trying to use AT&T's WiFi calling with my T-Mobile SIM card. Do I have no choice but to return this and get a T-Mobile version? Thanks for any help
Or is it possible to get OTAs and WiFi calling with T-mobile SIM and service on an AT&T S7 (G930A)? Will flashing G930T firmware work?
Thinking about getting an unlocked Sprint V50 to use on XFINITY Mobile/Verizon. Just wondering if VoLTE and WiFi calling will work out of the box. You can't flash firmware like you can for Samsung phones for LG. I must have WiFi calling.
No wifi calling option on S10E (SM-G970U1)
Model: SM-G970U1
Andriod 10: one UI: 2.1
G970U1UEU4DTF3
Using MVNO ATT SIM.
No wifi calling option to turn off/on in the dialer app, no VoLTE. MVNO said I am confirmed to enable both options though.
Is this an ATT sim restriction for unlocked/non ATT devices? I did plug in my wife's att sim card and was able to get LTE+ but no wifi-calling. This isn't a branded ATT S10E.

I have an Unlocked S10e (U1) and the only way that I could get those AT&T features was to flash the "U" firmware AND the AT&T User Data file that has all of that crappy bloatware. I also used my old AT&T SIM card that had been in AT&T's system for years on previous phones. I had to do the same thing with my Note10+ too.
Another S10e that I have is still on U1 firmware & I just popped in a T-Mo SIM with no problems. Wifi calling etc. Work except I needed to download a visual voicemail app. Otherwise working great.
AT&T makes it so difficult!
It was a must for me because I have poor AT&T service where I live & need wifi calling.

Thank you, that is what I expected from ATT. I will switch to verizon MVNO. I don't want to have an unlocked phone, only to be forced to install carrier bloat.
I have a Samsung S10e (SM-G970U1) that is not compatible with Wi-Fi calling. I called my carrier (US Cellular) and they said that they support this service but my phone is not compatible for it. I bought the phone unlocked on eBay. Is there a way to get my phone where I can get Wi-Fi calling enabled? If not, is there an unlocked phone I can purchase that will be compatible with my carrier.
Thanks in advance
