N7100 almost here, and I see that the native dialer has a video dialer function that allows you to make video calls over your cellular network. I am in the US on AT&T, and was wondering if anyone with International Samsung phones have attempted to make a video call over AT&T using the native dialer, or if AT&T still blocks this global function?
This would be between 2 N7100's in the US over AT&T or a N7100 and an International SGIII. I am not talking about the AT&T flavor, only International Unlocked Sammy's.
I have searched but there is little info on this, and the ones who say it work never tell what country they are in or the carrier they are using it on.
Re: [Q] Does the video calling feature in the native dialer work in the US over AT&T
Video calling on native dialer definitely works in India in almost all the networks. I am using a national service provider called bsnl and it's dirt cheap. They charge me around 4 cents per minute. However video calling doesn't work all the time even if I'm on 3g network if the 2nd party doesn't get 3g signal properly.

It's a carrier dependant feature. AT&T stopped supporting it years ago. No U.S. carrier supports their own 3/4G video calling service any longer.

Hey guys, I've been trying to figure out how to Add T-Mobile Wifi-Preferred calling VOIP to non tmobile ROM as I just copied/pasted the title lol. My ROM is DN3 by electro-team.com & they already told me they didn't have it. I've found a wifi-preferred.apk on this xda but it was from a pretty old post & it crashes on launch.
Somewhere I read where it calls on code in the tmobile stock ROM's system partition or something like that. I live in a valley at the bottom & I get zero or 1 bar by my window but no service in most of my house. I didn't realize that T-Mobile was the only phone provider that offered true VOIP wifi-preferred calling....I have been with them for 8 years lol. I'd get calls through my internet router's connection even when I was out of cell tower 4G LTE range! Man if I would have known that I would never have flashed a non-Tmobile ROM. Plus to top it off I had a defective microSD card so even though my NANDROID backup said it saved, it was gone on reboot...ugh bad luck.
I just got this ROM set up the way I want it....I'd hate to hafta flash another. Let me know PLEASE if anyone of you smart ladies & gents knows how I can get Tmobiles "wifi-preferred" calling back on my phone.
Thanks guys!
Unless I'm mistaken (but I don't think I am), you can't have native WIFI Calling on non-Tmobile Roms. For that, you will have to flash a stock Rom.
I use this one:

You can also use 3rd party apps to make VOIP calls. Google Voice is also a good alternative.
Sorry for the bad news and good luck.

wifi-preferred not wifi calling
I have a $60.00 a year skype plan & number that works well. But I want to use my "carrier" number. I have google voice & google hangouts but with hangouts dialer it still only calls phone numbers on LTE networks...doesn't work over wifi internet connection, unless ur calling someone by hangouts username. All phone number calls go out through LTE only on google hangouts/voice dialer thing.
I'm talking about "WIFI-Preferred calling" not wifi-calling....they have the terminology all confusing when you google it. There's got to be a way. I know non-stock ROMs that say they have it. I've found 2. I'll look up what they are called.
I know it's available only for the this year's generation of phones, but I'm calling someone with the Edge + plus from my regular Edge using the video calling button and nothing. I tried it on full LTE bars and full WiFi calling. Zip.
I think both parties need to have the update. I use it when calling my wife, who has a flat S6 on the OH6 update.

I got the latest update (U3DOI1) and I still can't see the video calling icon. I am using a unlocked t-mobile phone with an atnt sim. Anyone knows if you have to be on t-mobile network to see the video icon?

It's a tmobile feature only,which means you would need to have a tmobile sim.
I have the international unlocked Note 10+. I need the features that ATT offer, like WIFI Calling, Visual Voicemail and Mobile Hotspot. I flashed the Note to ATT firmware and have all the features but the only feature that worked was the Mobile Hotspot. WiFi calling does not work, as well as visual voicemail.
Someone recommended that I use an old iphone IMEI and "trick" the system, which I did. Now WIFI calling WORKS, AS WELL AS VISUAL VOICEMAIL. But now the Mobile Hotspot doesnt work.
When I call ATT they tell me that i have to have the IMEI for the android phone on my account to get Mobile Hotspot working. When they change it, Mobile Hotspot starts working, but then WIFI calling and Visual Voicemail stops working..
this is driving me crazy. Any ideas?
As far as I know, and from my past with unlocked phones, the carrier native tools don't usually work or work inconsistently. I didn't even have VZW visual voicemail with my unlocked Note 9. I used the Samsung version. Wifi calling never worked, nor did HD video calling. As a matter of fact, I couldn't get my Galaxy Watch LTE to work at all until I switched to a Note 10+ from VZW. Then everything worked - VOLTE, wifi calling, HD voice and video, etc. On the unlocked phone I made a dozen calls to support and they could never get it to work correctly. And it sucks, because I love unlocked phones, as I like the Samsung toolset better than the VZW garbage.

Hello there, im trying to activate vowifi, i can activate volte fine but not vowifi, anyone got it activated and if you did how did you do it.

Are you in the USA? If so, that is the reason. Xiaomi phones are not whitelisted for wifi calling by ANY carrier here and this is not expected to change soon.
I am presuming you used short codes to turn on Volte successfully. The Wowfi code works also (phone is wifi calling capable) but its carrier disabled.
I bought a paid plan from FreeUP, an ATT MVNO, where you can use an app dialer to make outgoing wifi calls (and free unlimited international calls) but still no incoming wifi calls.
Same pricing as Mint Mobile.
(Fyi, even if you weren't using a global phone the only Android phones guaranteed to get wifi calling here are the ones the carriers here sell ... There are a few exceptions ... The newer pixels and a few others.)
