WiFi Calling.. Not if your phone didn't come from EE!

So WiFi calling has launched on the Galaxy S5 and S6 but they fail to tell you that you have to have EE branded firmware on your device to be able to enable this function.  If you brought your phone from the likes of Phones4U and third party contract sellers the likely hood is that you won't have EE firmware it will be Stock Samsung Firmware.  EE don't offer the ability to download their firmware or the ability to exchange handesets for like for like so basicly if EE launch a new feature that requires you to have their firmware... tough luck you ain't getting it.   

Your link is broken.

Read that thread.
The reason they limit Android and windows to EE firmware only is because this means they bought the device off them and that is what they want.
It is wrong yes I know.
I always zebras my devices Although for me it no longer matters as I am no longer an EE customer.

  • Anyone with more than one iPhone 6/6+ in same order getting there phones shipped if all your phones didn't have 9-19 when you ordered?

    Our Verizon account has 10 lines and I figure we're paying over $7,000 a year, when I think of how much money total we have payed to Verizon only to be jerked around and around and lied too over and over again really does make me sick.  6 of these contracts have ended and 3 will be up in next couple months and 1 has a year left so the cancelation fees would not be that bad. And with the other big carrier I've heard it might be cheaper on monthly service. All I wanted from Verizon was for them to do whats right.
    I Ordered
    iPhone 6 16gb  gray
    iPhone 6+ 16gb gray
    iPhone 6+ 64gb gray
    iPhone 6+ 64gb silver
    all on the same order. I finished at 3:19 am est and got a date of 10/14 even though all the phones except the 6+ 16 gb gray had 9/19. Got confirmation email at 4:56 will ship by 10/14 I got worried that all the phones would not ship till 10/14 and contacted verizon thru facebook messenger. They told me my phones would ship in the order received and not be held up by a phone that wasn't available in my order. And based on the time of my order she said 9/19 for the 6 and 6+ silver, 10/7 for the 6+ 64 gray , 10/14 for 6+ 16 gray. On Monday morning my status changed to 9/19:):) in the afternoon in changed to unknown. I called 611 and rep went thru all my phones with a time sheet she had and said i should get all but the 6+ 16 gray on 9/19, she said that one you had to order by 3:00 to get on 9/19. On Wednesday my status changed to 10/14 , called 611 again and this lady told me all my phones had 10/14 listed after them. She told me she didn't know  what to tell me that Apple ships the phones and its out of Verizon's hands because they don't have the phones. then she told me to call Apple (and gave me the phone # ) and see if they ship preorders with more than 1 in a order when their available or wait till all are. I called them ( they laughed that Verizon had me call them) and they don't hold up orders . Called customer service back and guy said at least 10 times ....I ASSURE YOU VERIZON WILL NOT HOLD YOUR PHONES!!!  i said of course they're not actually putting them in a box and waiting for all, they're sending them to other people who ordered after me. I asked him if my order could be separated/ rebuilt and do a (jump the line request)  so i could get my phones when i should. He said there is no such thing at verizon....he has worked there many years and if there was he would know. Someone posted # to Internet orders so i called them Thursday morning, spoke to a very nice guy he said my phones that i should get i would and i should get an e-mail later that day and if i didnt get anything by 8:00 pm to call back. Before we hung up i asked if I didn't  get anything did he know if they could cancel/separate/rebuild and do jump the line, he said they can do that and put me on hold while he spoke with a supervisor, he came back and said if nothing happened that day they would do that with my order. I got nothing, called Internet orders back at 8:30pm... went thru my history and asked them to do the rebuild. She transferred me to supervisor who REFUSED to rebuild my order, that is only for orders that have a technical error. She was also the first person from Verizon to tell me that they DO NOT  ship orders in multiple shipments, they will only send when everything is available. She then said your order was given a delivery date of before 10/14  and that's when you'll get all your phones. I let her know that there is nothing about that confirmation that tells me that the phones that I ordered that had 9/19 deliver by dates would not be delivered then, 9/19 is before 10/14.

    Same thing happened to me!!! They made a shady business move and they should be ashamed. Placed a pre-order for an Phone 6 and an iPhone 6 Plus at 2 AM on the 12th and got my pre-order in line just like everyone else did that morning. The 6 said delivery by 9/19 and the Plus was already back ordered to 10/7 but that's fine, I expected the Plus to be harder to get anyway. Being that both phones were eligible it made sense to just place one order given this hasn't been an issue in the past. However, Verizon moved my iPhone 6 pre-order delivery to coincide with the back ordered Plus so they don't have to ship each phone separately!!! I have to wait for something on backorder while the other is ready so they can save on shipping cost. I expected the one that I pre-ordered IN TIME FOR A 9/19 delivery and waited my turn "in (on)line" like everyone else I should get that when it told me that in the checkout, THEN send the Plus when it becomes available. I even have the confirmation email that says "Deliver by 9/19"!!!  Every company you order from sends you the backorder item when it becomes in stock, they don't wait and hold the entire order for it. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!!!

  • BB won't honor the $200 trade if your phone didn't arrive by the 17th?

    People are reporting all over social media that BB stores are denying people who preordered the note 4 the $200 trade in if their phone didn't come in on launch day??????
    Well that is 99% of us.
    If this is the case, this is the most dishonest thing I have ever seen from a major retailer. I was specifically told (per the trade in details) that the preorder must be placed in the time line (9/19/14-10/16/14). No mention that the phone must be received on the launch date to be able to use the $200 trade in promotion.
    Can a BB rep please respond to this and give us accurate and reliable information?
    We have been mislead by so many BB employees throughout this entire preorder experience it is mind blowing.
    Thanks....

    Hello again thegipper-
    It is never our intention to mislead customers regarding the availability of products.  However, vendor agreements and product availability to influence what information we can give to customers.
    A pre-order with Best Buy does not guarantee availability of that item on release day, it simply guarantees that you will have first crack at the product as we receive them from the manufacturer.  As this availability can be influenced by vendor agreements, product availability and shipping issues, we are not able to guarantee release date availability.  I apologize if you were given any information that we would promise that you would have your phone on the release date or for any incorrect information we supplied about the release date of the Verizon version.  We have no control over release dates being changed.
    I’m truly sorry that you have not received your pre-ordered phone yet.  Best Buy continues to work with Samsung to get more inventory so that we can fulfill those pre-orders as quickly as possible.
    Thank you for your patience during this process.

  • My phone didn't come with the preset playlists. All my friends and my sister have them. Like, "top 25 in your library" "recently added" "recently played". Is there any way I can get these?

    My phone didn't come with the preset playlists. All my friends and my sister have them. Like, "top 25 in your library" "recently added" "recently played". Is there any way I can get these?

    Those playlists are "Smart playlists".
    I don't think that you can create them from the phone itself. I've only ever been able to create a smart playlist within iTunes and then syncing the phone.

  • My iPHONE 5 wifi is NOT working when am 3 feet away from router while my iPhone 4s has full signal all the time.Please help.

    My iPHONE 5 wifi is NOT working when am 3 feet away from router while my iPhone 4s has full signal all the time.Please help.

    The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router.  Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right?  Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.

  • Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

    Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

    Roamingnome, thanks for your response. Although I have been a Bell (Canada) customer for my WiFi signal for years, the 5c and its necessary mobility plan, is very recent. Some years ago, Bell supplied its own ‘router’ for my computer, and claimed that it was possible to get their WiFi signal only with the router they supplied. When I recently received the 5c, I wondered if the plan it requires, which is within the much wider, overall Bell zone, could be used somehow to get my Air online - some sort of tethering? - that allows me to give up the Air WiFi service and router all together, but still get the Air connected. Here in Canada, Bell Mobility and other Bell services are very separate. Any suggestions appreciated.

  • Why am I being charged for data when connected to wifi AND not using my phone?!

    WHY am I being charged for data that I'm not using? At times when I'm asleep AND my phone is connected to wifi?!  This happens at really specific, alternating times like 9:54 pm every day, or 12:01 am, 6:01 am and then 12:01pm and 6:01pm. When I called I was told  "maybe your wifi at home is disconnecting" or "maybe your phone is connecting to atnt or sprint". It's not possible that my phone is disconnecting from wifi every six hours on the dot and, at that exact time, I'm always using data. I find it hard to believe that I live in a HUGE city and my phone magically connects to other networks and I NEVER notice this. Verizon is full of LIARS (and maybe’s) and I'm not convinced that these data charges are a coincidence. I was told to turn off my cellular data to see if the problem resolves itself. Why should I alter my daily life when Verizon is clearly the one with the issue? I hope there's a class action lawsuit because Verizon is trying to get over on everyone! I need answers!

        Hello NotHappy101,
    I think it's quite odd that your data usage is at very specific times. We can certainly take a closer look. Please reply to my Direct Message, so we can get some additional details.
    Thanks,
