IPhone 4 Wifi Calling

So is there any way to make Wifi calling with the iPhone ?
If you tell me download an app then this company seriously needs to rethink their hardware/software. I live on an army base... the signal out here is...well its a mythical creature lets say.
I have wifi in my room, however that doesnt seem to give me the ability to make phone calls.
If anyone knows a FREE APP thats actually worth my time not netTALK because its terrible.
AND not one that costs me per minute.. why would i even get a phone if i have to pay per min to make phone calls on my phone with a 3rd party app?
Anyways im venting becausei came from android and im anything but impressed.

I didnt make the switch because i wanted to. Trust me. And yes i am venting, on a community server rather then waste the time of techs with complaints they cant/wont fix
Long story short i had no service with Tmobile i switched to ATT they said id be covered. Im not, i used to use wifi calling which was nice, i dont even have that now. The price is sugnifficantly less however now im paying for a fancy expencive alarm clock.
I expected wifi calling to be included since im paying for wifi.. Idk just a thought maybe its unreasonable.
something bout 20$ a month to check my bank account sounds kinda weird. anyways if u think im venting, and you have something nasty to say, need not respond. I was just coming here to look for an anwser without bothering the apple people if at all nessisary.
I will look at MobileVOIP.
Ill be sure not to get an iphone in the future now that i know the basics dont come standard like on every other phone ive had.

IPhone Wifi calling

Following the release of iOS 8.3 today, EE have blogged about Wifi Calling now being possible. My phone doesn't appear to have picked up this menu option as yet. Does anyone know if BT Mobile will be offering this?

Been raised a,ready and not available and no mention of future - but could happen if enough pressure

Will iPhone 5 support WiFi calling?

Does the iPhone 5 running IOS 8 support WiFi calling?

Terry Otness wrote:
I'm guessing some iPhone 5's have been left out. For example mine is an AT&T version which I purchased for full cost when they came out. This was just prior to a T-Mobile iPhone version being introduced. Nonetheless, the only difference I can discern is that the T-Mobile standard frequencies were not present on my earlier phone version.
I'm hopeful that this isn't something which is insurmountable. I'd like to have the full value of my purchase price realized. i know Apple can't add the T-Mobile frequencies, but at least they could deliver a software update version that permits Wi-fi calling.
Yes, I've updated to IOS8, but do not have the Wi-Fi calling menu that many with my iPhone 5 brethren are seeing. This may be the reason some are not seeing Wi-fi as well. I'd love to hear from anyone with some inside insights on this. Thanks.
You might want to give T-Mobile a call and see if they can send you over a 'carrier update'. If I'm not mistaken, the 4S and above should be able to work with Wi-Fi Calling.

EE Wifi Calling - IPhone 5s - Carrier 20.1?

Hello,
I have been trying to enable WiFi Calling on my 5s but despite having the IOS8.3 software installed, for some reason i have carrier 20.1 rather than 19.1 as described in the EE setup instructions. My wifes IPhone 6 is up to date with IOS8.3 but has carrier 19.1 and WiFi Calling is enabled and working.
How do i get back to 19.1?
Will 20.1 be enabled for WiFi Calling ASAP?

Hi
I've double checked and EE's latest carrier settings are definitely 19.1.
If you plug the device in iTunes and do a restore and update via iTunes this should push the correct carrier settings through.

Hope this helps!
Let me know how you get on.
Thanks.

IPhone 6 Wifi Calling - No Verification Text/Not Working

I have an iPhone 6 and tried to enable wifi calling a few weeks ago. Followed the process for setting it up, and everything went as it should, except I never received a message saying it was activated. Have tried turning it on and off/restarting the phone etc several times since, however it still is not working, and I still haven't received any sort of text message to say it is activated.
The option is there and it lets me turn it on and off, but still doesn't actually do anything.Any ideas?

Give 150 a call to make sure it is active on your account, sometimes they need to give it a nudge.... There have been rare instances of a routers firewall blocking it too.

Why didn't apple make iphone with wifi calling?

It is beyond me that Blackberry and the Android phones have wifi calling and the new iphone 5 does not. Why? That should be standard in all phones.

Just left a message there. Thanks. I live and travel and work in poor coverage areas and have a mifi to cover me doing charge sales. Sad that Apple won't let me talk in these areas too.

WiFi calling on iPhones

Can I make wifi calls on my iPhone 5 with OS8?

Who's your carrier?
Wifi calling is a carrier level feature and not widely implemented.
If you're in America, use Google Voice and call over wifi using the Google Hangouts app.

WiFi Calling - Only available on iPhones purchased directly form EE

I have been in touch with EE Tech Support as they cannot seem to get WiFi Calling enabled on my iPhone. After more than 5 calls to various levels of Tech Support, today I am told that WiFi Calling on an iPhone 6 is only available if the phone was bought from EE stores or website. I don't believe the support guy and feel like I am being fobbed-off. Anyway, I am writing on this forum to see if anyone else has had this response? I cannot believe that Apple would use this feature in their product launch keynote and then agree with EE that it should only be available to phones bought direct. Doesn't make sense. I'd love to know what you think.

I have been getting the following message on screen, even though I am not trying to send a message or anything: Sorry, the number you are sending to does not contain enough digits. Please check the number and try again. … but I have done a reboot since and it appears to have stopped showing.

Ios8 iphone5 iphone 5 t-mobile wifi calling

Seems like everyone was under the impression that the iPhone 5 would have wifi calling enabled with the release of ios8.
So far as I can tell from all the posts I've read, this is not the case.
Apple, you need to officially respond to this issue!
This is HUGE!!!
My phone is less than a year old and it's not capable of wifi calling?
That's not acceptable!
Make this right Apple.

If you are angry that Apple is not allowing the wifi calling feature to a phone that is only a little more than a year old, let them know that you want this feature! We paid a lot of our hard-earned money for our phones and Apple better make it last for more than a two years. I do not want my phone to go the way of the first generation ipads, obsolete in two years. http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.

FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls.
This is the error message I receive when I try to add my phone to my Mac for proximity / FaceTime audio calling. This feature worked until I changed my Apple ID. I have updated my Apple ID everywhere I can think of updating it. I've signed out of Apple ID on my Mac, deleted EVERYTHING (calendars, contacts, etc.), signed back in, etc. I've done the same with my phone, and even done a power-down / reboot and nada. I keep getting this message from the Mac.
I can't figure out where else I should look for my old Apple ID to be logged into anything or creating problems. I've gone over my iPhone and Mac and I'm at a loss. As an aside (and yes, wrong forum), have lost the ability to do SMS forwarding since the Mac no longer receives the code from my iPhone to allow this feature to work. This was lost after signing out of the Apple ID on my Mac this afternoon.
Bluetooth is turned on for both devices. Both devices are on the same WiFi network. Both devices otherwise appear to be working correctly with the exception of the problems I'm having with FaceTime and iCloud being signed into the same Apple ID (which they are).
Thanks in advance,

(By the way, I should have pointed out in my earlier posting that I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on my Mac). I Just installed latest Yosemite update while my iPhone was switched off, and when my Mac restarted, the 'iPhone Cellular Calls' checkbox in the FaceTime preferences was checked and the problem was therefore solved. Switched on my iPhone, still fine. Relief.

How do I set a different caller ID for the iPhone Cellular Calls from my Mac?

This will get lengthy so bare with me. My wife and I both have an iPhone and we use the same iCloud account. I wanted to set up my Mac to handle my phone calls with the new feature on Yosemite so I went into Preferences on the FaceTime app on my Mac to turn on iPhone Cellular Calls. When I do so, it tells me that the calls will be made using my wifes caller ID and not mine. I know that I can click my phone number above that in the "You can be reached for FaceTime at:" section and it will give me the choice of using my phone number but I only want use my email for FaceTime on my Mac and when only my email is checked for where to be reached at, it doesn't give me an option of what phone number I want the Caller ID to be. If anyone understands that, please help me change the default Caller ID to my own and not my wife's!! Thanks!

Why do we have to choose between wifi calling and continuity?

I live in a low spot, so signal doesn't make it into my house great from my current provider. I'm looking to buy an iPhone 6 switch to T-Mobile because WiFi calling was touted in the iPhone 6 release as this great new feature. But I have also been looking forward to being able to answer calls on my iPad Air, and my wife on her Macbook Air. In fact, we bought the Macbook Air and my wife's iPhone 5S partially because this feature was touted at the announcement of the new features in iOS 8 and Yosemite this summer. Now I'm finding out that we are being forced to choose one of these great features; we cannot have both active. So in my home where signal strength is a problem, I can use WiFi calling, but not continuity. Is this something that will be allowed in a future update? It's extremely frustrating to find out that you can't take advantage of all the features you were told would work on your new $800 device.

When I first joined att I got a brand new $500 phone for $200 just for signing a 2 year agreement. This was a pretty good deal in my opinion. Then t mobile started their cheaper bills but you have to pay full price for a phone thing. They decided to let people make payments to help out a bit. This was also a pretty good deal seeing as how your bill would be that much lower. Now att has the same expensive plans but decided to add t mobiles idea of making us pay the full price of the phone. Oh but we get to make payments so I guess it's okay.
So instead of paying $200 now, we get to pay $600 over 30 months. The worst part is that people seem to love this idea. I haven't heard one person complain about it. Are people that dumb that they actually think this is a better deal? If you wanted to make payments, you'd be better off putting $200 on a credit card and paying the interest for 30 months then paying the full price of the phone.

Why doesn't the Verizon Version of the HTC ONE (M9) have Wifi Calling?

I have been with sprint for 11 years and recently upgraded my HTC One (M7) to the HTC One (M9). went to jamaica and was able to keep in touch with everyone free of charge with wifi calling. Once i returned i decided to leave sprint and come to Verizon. I realized today they dont have wifi calling on this phone. Why is that. isn't it CDMA like sprint

They're planning on releasing it in mid-2015:
Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) plans to introduce Wi-Fi calling in the middle of next year but does not see an urgent need for it, according to Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo.
Speaking at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference, Shammo noted that Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus support Wi-Fi calling. He said Verizon needs to do "some technological work in our network to make it available," and it should come around the middle of next year.
However, he said Wi-Fi calling was "never a top priority" for Verizon. "We built our voice platform so extensively [that] there was never a need for us to tell our customers, 'Oh, our network is not good enough so you need to go on Wi-Fi to complete your call.'"
He noted that when a call goes onto a Wi-Fi network, it's difficult for Verizon to guarantee the quality of service on that call, which is what Verizon has built its brand reputation on. That's a major reason Verizon waited so long to launch Voice over LTE service--it wanted to make sure it had adequate coverage that could replicate the voice experience of calls on its 3G CDMA network. Verizon has just started rolling out VoLTE service.
Other carriers are moving ahead with Wi-Fi calling plans. Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T's Mobile & Business Solutions Group, said last week that AT&T will launch Wi-Fi calling in 2015 but that the carrier will use it only as a complement to Voice over LTE or 3G-based calling. "We don't have this burning desire" to use it to enhance coverage, he said.
The comments were notable in light of T-Mobile US' (NYSE:TMUS) announcement this week that heavily emphasized Wi-Fi calling and using personal routers to create Wi-Fi coverage areas in subscribers' homes. T-Mobile is the first and only U.S. carrier to support Wi-Fi calling on the new iPhone. Sprint (NYSE: S) also launched a Wi-Fi calling service for its Android smartphones this past February.
In terms of other hot topics, Shammo said Verizon would not be leasing phones, as Sprint is doing with its "iPhone for life" offering with the new iPhones. Under that program, individual customers will pay $20 a month for a 16 GB iPhone 6, instead of $30 under normal financing. At the end of 24 months, they can trade in their iPhone for a new iPhone. The iPhone 6 Plus will cost $25 per month under this program instead of $35 under normal financing. If a customer wants an iPhone with more internal storage they will pay more per month. The leasing program applies to families as well.
Shammo said Verizon offers its Edge handset-financing and early-upgrade program but that the "majority" of Verizon customers are still choosing subsidized handsets paired with two-year contracts. In contrast, AT&T said sales through its similar Next program represented around 50 percent of all smartphone sales in the second quarter.
Shammo also touched on whether Verizon might sell its wireless-tower assets, saying the company remains open to it. In the past, doing a deal "always came down to price and terms and conditions," which he said have become more favorable. He said that Verizon's network is experiencing high demand and that the company would like to retain the flexibility to add towers or add network gear to existing towers. "It's an option for us," he said. "We continue to look at it, and we'll see what happens."
Last week at a separate investor conference, Verizon Communciations CEO Lowell McAdam also said the company would be open to selling some of its towers if the price was right. "Those deals are coming to us a little more now, and if an opportunity presented itself to increase shareholder value" Verizon would be interested in pursuing it, McAdam said, according to Reuters. McAdam said Verizon received interest in its towers two years ago, but the bids weren't high enough.

Wifi calling broken after update to ios 8.1

Hi,
after I updated my iPhone 6 to ios 8.1 IO cannot enable the wifi calling option anymore. I'm getting the T-mobile icon and and error message "Sorry, your request could not be completed. Please try again later."
Could somebody please help me with this?
Thanks
Fred

I read theT Mobile reply. It sort of gives answer. The issue is that 8.1 requires that you have an E911 address that is same as WiFi site. Your T mobile network validates the address and only then allows WiFi calling. I assume it is a safety feature that Tmobile has not made clear. I wasted a lot of time with unnecessary network resets before gleaning from response the real goal. You cannot just have an E911 address. It has to be current each time you access a new WiFi site.

Iphone wifi anttena dammaged

I have an iPhone 4s and recently it stopped being able to conncet to wirless internet. I have already tourbleshooted and have determined it is not my wifi router. All other iphones and devices in the home can connect to it like normal. It will not conncet to any wifi. I have reset the network settings and all other settings multiple times with out any change. It is clear that the phone is damaged an no longer functioning properly. I belivie there is something wrong with the wifi antena on the phone. I've had this phone for only 5 months. A damaged wifi atena is a hardware malfunction, and thus this is under the 1 year warranty that apple has agreed to correct? Is there anything else that can be wrong with the phone other than wifi antena or hardware issue? If not how do I get apple to acknowledge the warranty? I have called iphone warranty services and they want me to pay $69 so that somone can "troubleshoot" and determine that it is infact a problem with the hardware ofthe phone. Basically apple wants me to pay them to tell me what I have already determined. The warranty clearly states: "Warranty service for eligible repairs is available at no charge for twelve months from the date of purchase. After you return the iPhone that needs service, Apple will examine the iPhone to confirm that the failure is covered by Apple warranty." Paying $69 is not "no charge", apple is trying to charge me for a free warranty service they legally promised me. Apple is ripping off its customers! Sorry for the rant. If anyone can point out another problem with my iphone other than a hardware issue please let me know! Or if you have any advice on how to get my warranty service. Thanks!

If you are beyond the 90-day free phone support period and do not have AppleCare on your iPhone, Apple phone support will tell you that you may have to pay a support fee if the problem is not covered by warranty. If they determine that the problem is indeed covered under warranty, you will not be charged. So no one is "ripping you off".
As to your problem, it most certainly can be a problem other than a fault in the antenna or WiFi circuitry, though it may be such a fault. Try Apple's suggestions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
If none of those help, then you may have a defective iPhone. Call Apple Support or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple Store.
Regards.
