Does T-Mobile wifi calling work?
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
No. That is a carrier feature. You have to buy your phone from t-mobile if you need that.

That's not true. Its a software feature. HTC 10 unlocked from htc.com support wifi calling. CM13 supports wifi calling.

The true findings have not been reported yet. CM13 has "unlocked" through what they call trickery, but has not been reported to work on all devices. This topic comes up at every unlocked phone thread I have seen. It most likely will work on devices that either were purchased at T-Mobile or that have radios with the ability to place Wi-Fi calls (any phone compatible with project-fi). There are reports of the nexus 5 on cm13 not being able to use this, but the 5x (with it's Wi-Fi calling ability) to use it. The HTC 10 has the ability to make Wi-Fi calls natively (the radio supports it) on android N, so using it on t-mobiles WiFi calling makes sense. But, until there is confirmation that the oneplus 3 has this ability, then I'm going to say it probably won't work. I could very well be wrong, but I can't find anything proving it works on all devices right now.

Yeah no wifi calling and no ok google from a locked screen...I'll hold off and see if they update these, if not, probably move to the next nexus.
I just received my op3... No wifi calling option with T-Mobile. I hope they add it. My 6p came from project Fi and does work with wifi calling on T-Mobile.

If they ever get it working let me know. I'll also hold of until Wi-Fi calling works.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
seems wifi calling is still in the settings menu, but it disabled as soon as you toggle it and leave. CM13 on the nexus 6p has working wifi calling, so the device itself doesn't have to come from t-mobile to work. Still hoping this is not radio firmware related. Waiting for a decent CM13 port to see if there's a chance there. If anyone has flashed one of the two cm13 ports on their op3, is the wifi calling option visible in the settings menu?
It is equipped, but 1+ has to pay T-Mobile to test it and approve for use. 1+ says they won't. Maybe we can remind them we want it.

It depends. I wouldn't pay for Wi-Fi calling and I'll be damned if I'm going to be forced to pay it through some price increase just to appease a minority. There are other ways to achieve Wi-Fi calling that doesn't involve carrier support like WhatsApp
How do you call a landline on whatsapp. How do you receive calls to your phone number on whatsapp. There really aren't many full VoIP wifi calling solutions available, and none of them are even as close in integration or as seamless as the native implementation. Cant speak for most carriers, but it's free on T-Mobile. I can relate to not wanting to pay for features you don't have use of, but the same could be said for volte calling or LTE in general.

There is WiFi calling in the settings. Search for it. I'm attaching screenshot of my OOS 3.2.4 unrooted having WiFi calling option in setting.
And also it does support Ok Google from lock screen. Just Google it how to make it work...

If you are on the stock OOS 3.2.4 it's there.
Go to settings, in the search bar type "pre".
Select " calling preference"
WiFi calling should come

I don't use it but the option is also in exodus Rom, and probably in many roms as it's in Android sources.

There is no wifi calling at launch, you do need to use the new sim in order to support a new wifi calling feature later this year

You have to have the new sim that came with the phone. This will not work with an old sim from your previous phone.
I'm using the new sim that was in the box, and i'm not seeing how to initiate wifi calling.

Okay back i called t-mobile a couple of times. They thought the people were talking about sip, skype, voip calling. Not the wifi calling that t-mobile made. The one that seem to most tech savy rep said there will be a patch to add it but don't know when it will come. The amaze 4g already has it build in under wireless settings.

Not enough for me to return the phone but really need that option. Oh well....now we wait
For kicks I installed Kineto (Wifi Calling app) and tried to run it... immediately FCs. Oh well. Perhaps this feature can be "unlocked" with a custom ROM that re-adds SIP support to the device. I thought I read somewhere that it is excluded by default.

I have Just updated my phone to marshmallow hoping to get wi-fi calling but it still asks to activate advanced calling.
Is there any chance that i can bypass this to get wi-fi calling?
Also in case if i ask my friend to activate it using his SIM and later insert my T mobile sim will i still be able to use it?
Thanks in advance

Some people here have had to get Verizon to set HD calling up for them, especially if they've had it turned off. T-Mobile may be the same way.
If I recall, Verizon users were able to turn the feature on online.

Then I'm afraid you're stuck. It looks like HD calling is a prerequisite for wifi calling. Both, while sharing the same technical standards, are run by the carriers.
I just switched back to T-Mobile. My phone is fine on WiFi calling (HTC 10) but my wife's phone can't access it. She doesn't like me touching her phone often so it's currently on MM using Resurrection Remix.
Can it be done on this phone? I know a "stock-like" ROM had to be used on my HTC so can it be done on an OxygenOS based ROM? Can it be done on a non-Oxygen OS based ROM?
Thanks!

One caveat, I don't get wifi calling when I connect to my office's wifi. I get it everywhere else.

First of all, this feature is Sim dependent, so if you are on a plan that does not offer that feature, you can't get it. Next the room you are using has to support this feature. Not all do. I am using an AOSP room (7.1.2) and I am able to use this feature.

ASOP ROMS, not LOS, such as RR.
I flashed freedom os works with WiFi calling. However, I noticed it's the only rom that lists it as passing safety net (which is what the wifi calling and whatnot needs). I didn't both with the other roms but are you sure the other roms will work with T mobile WiFi calling?

You can use virtually any AOSP (Pure Nexus. AOSP extended, Phoenix AOSP Extended) for WiFi calling. They all have the feature. If you use Magisck, it will also pass safety net. Just enable hide in Magisck settings and disable adb settings in developer options.

I told you they do and if I could attach a screenshot, you would be able to see. BTW, I live in San Diego.
Many retail/unlock mobiles have "Wifi Calling" function but not any menu entry to enable , The APP can check the hidden function and enable it if can use.

Just to weigh in here, I can confirm that WiFi calling on T-Mobile works for me on my OnePlus 3 (Asia/Europe model, no US LTE bands) running on a nougat based custom ROM. I do have Magisk installed with SafetyNet working.
Hi. I just chatted with Sprint online asking if the pixel 2 XL that I'm going to receive at the end of this week, and activate on Sprint, will support WiFi calling. They confirmed that it will but could not provide a link to a list of phones that are supported at Sprint. Therefore I have my doubts. I think a lot of times these people who work the chat are "Yesmen", if you know what I mean?
Has anyone here activated their pixel 2 XL on Sprint? Is it wifi calling capable? Thank you.

I don't see a place to turn it on. Activated my 2XL last Wednesday morning. I've looked a few times. And I thought I read either on the Sprint Reddit or the Sprint Community that it's not supported. I can go to settings and search and type in wifi calling and it takes me to the Wi-Fi preferences page but then there's nothing listed.
Edit: See this as well. Still seems pertinent. https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments/6nqojq/sprint_support_wifi_calling_is_supported_for/

The Wifi calling option is available for T-Mobile. It's under wifi preferences (I find it easier to locate if I search for wifi in settings. )
Thanks for the responses, guys! henderjr, this is what I was afraid of. Thank you both for looking. I'm sort of basing my purchase of this phone on wifi calling so I'm stuck. I can't figure out how Sprint can get away with this....and no simultaneous talk/data, and survive next to the other service providers.
By chance does anyone else on Sprint have the option for wifi calling on their Pixel 2 XL??
I just chatted again and the agent is saying that wifi calling MAY be something that Sprint needs to activate on your account for it to show up. That's sounds weird to me but if you get a chance, you could call Sprint and see if they will turn it on for you. If you do, please report back, henderjr.
Certainly someone has had experience with this?

Just wondering if anyone is using WiFi calling. I just switched back my sim to a voice line and wanted to get it working. But not sure if the tablet supports it as I don't see the option.
I disabled a bunch of packages, so just wondering if I accidentally disabled it, or it's just not possible.

No idea as I don't have the version with the SIM card. Usually your carrier has to tell you how to set up WiFi calling. On Project Fi it is automatically routed from the phone app through the Hangouts dialer . Otherwise you'd have to resort to Skype or WhatsApp or something similar.

I would contact your carrier. WiFi calling is something they have to enable which is why you see the setting on your phone. They would know if they can support WiFi on the Tab S4. Like I said for Project Fi, which is my carrier, their WiFi calling is handled through a separate app (Hangouts Dialer) and not a System Setting regardless of the Android device used (phone, tablet, etc). Maybe your carrier has an app to install that provides WiFi calling from a Tab S4? And report back who your carrier is and what they say so others can find the info.
