Will debranding disable wifi calling?

Hi,
I'm thinking about debranding my S6 Edge but I'm just wondering if I'll lose any functionality? I've heard that the 5.1.1 update fixes high RAM usage as well as fixing a bug where quick toggles dissappear, so that's why I'm wanting to do it.

I wouldn't recommend debranding for many reasons, one of which is that most likely it will "remove" wifi calling, as this is "embedded" specifically to EE roms. I would suggest to contact EE regarding RAM ussage -I have to say that RAM usage gets high in Android thus not sure how much they can help/assist. As for the toggles I remember users mentioning Play Store Apps that replace the toogles. I hope that I managed to assist you a little.

Wifi calling - new registration problems

Purchased an iPhone 6 las t Friday specifically to use wifi calling. It has never worked. EE Customer Service say there is a problem that they are working on for new registrations. This seems doubtful as, if so, it would be all over the internet by now. I've been through all the set up procedures (several times) and I do have the latest ios release (8.4) Does anyone know anything about this issue? Am I being fobbed off by EE?

Similar issue here too.Enabled wifi calling on the samsung S6, but got no wifi calling icon.Got email messages from EE saying I can now use wifi calling, but still not working and no icon.Called EE was told it was not activated at their end. (strange as I got the activated texts)?Was told they had activated it and after disabling wifi calling on the phone, I should re-boot the phone and re-enable wifi calling and it would then work....It didn't. But I got 2 more messages telling me I could now use wifi calling.Called EE again, and was told I would have to wait upto 24 hrs for it to work.Not too impressed so far, as It is touted as being Wifi calling ready and "simple" just switch it on.Will wait and see if it works tomorrow, but not convinced as yet.

What does the WiFi calling indicator look like on Lumia 640.

I have a new Lumia 640 with Wifi calling. The EE setup instructions talk about getting a message from them and then within 24hrs being switched on and the phone will show a 'Wifi Calling Indicator' What is this as there is no reference in Lumia userguide or on EE search for this Icon. What does it look like? Also when the phone is restarted the Wifi calling stops working and the EE WIfi tile dissappears from the main screen.

Hi I have today had a chat with the call centre. My phone was obtained from the EE shop in Weston super Mare and they activated the WIFI calling. It has worked intermittantly since the start date. The symbol for WiFi Calling is NOT shown in the EE icons list or the Microsoft Icons list for the Lumia 640 hence my original question. I have now seen it and know what it looks like, different from the Samsung phones. Why not a standard symbol? The Wifi calling keeps stopping working putting the phone into mobile data mode only despite the Wifi calling setting selection still being shown for Wifi calling as ON. When dragging down the top of the screen the second line shows EE 4G instead of EE WIFI 4G and the tile shows EE instead of EE WIFI.Basically the Lumia 640 is not providing WIFI calling reliably. Whether it is a phone software/hardware error or an EE problem is unknown and proving impossible to identify. As I have no signal most of the time this facility is essential to me, I don't even advertise my number as it has been unobtainable for the past two years.After waiting for 18 months for this facility as it stands I would not recommend this Lumia 640 phone and EE WIFI calling facility.RegardsRetired Orange/EE Planning Engineer

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Anyway to solve this problem?

I have a IPhone 5 and Iphone 5s, each phone is activited with a different service provider. Both are set up with the same account ID and running IOS 8.0.2. When the phones are connected to the same Wifi at home, both phones will ring when someone call in to one of the phone. Hence you do not know exactly which line the caller called. If you answered using the wrong phone, then anyone calling the other number will not get through. Anyway to solve this problem?

Hey David Koh TP,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like your devices are set up to use continuity together. Specifically, it sounds like you are signed into the same Apple ID in FaceTime, and have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. To resolve your issue, simply disable this setting:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6337
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Will 521 work on ATT with wifi calling?

I currently have the 520 using Consumer Cellular which limits voice minutes. It appears to me that a key difference between the 520 (ATT) and 521 (T-Mobile) is that the 521 has wifi calling. So my question is: Is there a way to use a 521's wifi calling on a non T-Mobile provider?
Thank you,
Pete
Solved!
Go to Solution.

the 520 has:
WCDMA network: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1900 MHz, 2100 MHz.
.WCDMA max data speed DL: HSDPA - 21.1 Mbps .
.WCDMA max data speed UL: HSUPA - 5.76 Mbps .
.GSM network: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz.
.GSM max data speed DL: EGPRS 236.8 kbps .
.GSM max data speed UL: EGPRS 236.8 kbps .
the 521 has:
WCDMA network: 850 MHz, 1900 MHz, 1700 - 2100 MHz.
.WCDMA max data speed DL: HSDPA - 21.1 Mbps .
.WCDMA max data speed UL: HSUPA - 5.76 Mbps .
.GSM network: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz.
.GSM max data speed DL: EGPRS 236.8 kbps .
.GSM max data speed UL: EGPRS 236.8 kbps .
in order for you to be able to use it on the ATT network, you would have to unlock the device.
that could cost you almost as much as the device is, unless you can get the unlock from Tmobile.
then, while the device will get general 2/2.5G service for phone and text, your data, being that it is missing the 1900mhz, will not get sufficient data.
the real difference between them is the wifi calling and the 1700/1900, which is what really separates the two device and why they are made specifically for each carrier.
being the cost of the devices, I would just buy another one for the ATT. wifi calling is not going to work anyhow, as that is a tmobile product that connects to your account on wifi, which att doesn't have.

My iPhone 4 won't connect to our WiFi at home, but will at other WiFi spots. However, my parent's iPhones work and connect just fine at home using WiFi. I have called and talked to several people and no one seems to be able to help me.

The two things to try first are renewing your network lease, forgetting the network and if that doesn't work to reset all networks. You might have tried one of these but I'll repeat the steps just to make sure.
Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Renew Lease
If that doesn't work then
Settings > Wi-Fi > tap the blue arrow to the right of your network name > Forget this Network
If that doesn't work
Settings > General > Networks > Reset All Networks > then reset your iPhone by
Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
I hope one of these will help.

When will Wifi-calling be extended to other 'capable' handsets?

When will WiFi calling be extended to other 'capable' handsets? I have never met a company that operate in such an opaque fashion and seem content to leave their subscribers in the dark. If there is no news on this soon I intend to pursue a premature end to my contract.

I can go to another network that would give me an app for calling and texts. No Wifi calling but at least I would have connectivity when I am in my office which has no EE coverage. EE can't offer me Wifi calling or even a promise of it in the future neither can they offer me an app as an interim measure. Crap really.

What app can you download that will allow wifi calling when you have no cell signal through the network?

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.

Wifi calling from Iceland

'm in the airport in Iceland. I've disabled data roaming and mobile data as I'm paranoid of getting a big bill. However wifi calling is working on the free airport wifi. I phoned 150 to ask if I will be charged for using it and the person I spoke to couldn't tell me. I'm now worried my call to 150 will rack up a big bill as the automated ee telephone system took ages to navigate to get through to someone. I have a galaxy s6.

It's all very well saying it doesn't work because ee says it does not, but I'm now in a Alaska at my in-laws with airplane/aeroplane mode on, mobile data off and roaming off and I am able to use wifi calling.
It does work abroad unless my phone is a weird exception. I'll do an ee chat thing today to see about cost.

Hi there, I was just trying to help you and offer some staight forward advice on this issue
but it seems like Apple didn't like the truth that was being relayed and removed my post!
there are a number of threads on here about the issue, also do a general search and after reading for a few hours you will find out what I tried to relay to you before Apple unreasonably removed it
good luck!

How do i set up wifi calling?

How do i set up wifi calling?

Doesn't technically exist although there are easy ways around this.
I had a multi level apartment once. The bedrooms were partially underground. The neighbors had a network extender that caused many problems for our roomates. Luckily it didn't bother my phone.
Now a days verizon messages will work on wifi. I didn't have that option then so I used Google voice. I also used an app called condi or Tasker and groove ip.
Groove ip let's you make and receive free calls on wifi. If you have comcast triple play you can use their service too.
Basically I set my phone up to automatically forward my phone calls to my Google voice number. That way over wifi in my apt there was zero chances I would miss any calls. When I leave the apt and disconnect from wifi it would cancel call forwarding.
Other option is network extender. If you complain enough to verizon you can get one for $100. No way to prevent others from using it but you can give a certain amount of numbers priority.
Bottom line, verizon should offer this feature out of the box. But for now there are solutions.

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.

TS4185 Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there?

Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there? When called by the Imac (newest), the "accept" or "reject" radio button appears for me to click and connect. On my wife's Ipad the two radio buttons always appear when a call actiivates Facetime and comes on?
There is nothing I can find in "Preferences" in Facetime to turn that on or off. I suspect it has to do with having a more current operating system; that the "controls" are in the operating system? [I'm guessing] It's frustrating getting Facebook calls from several friends on Ipads! Any ideas...VFP

I suspect it has to do with not having a more current operating system
Exactly, what Apple is doing is leveraging new features only on newer OS X versions to force you to upgrade OS X to 10.7 or later.
What they don't tell you is 10.7 or later will NOT run your PowerPC based software, some of it you can't get Intel versions like for perfectly working printers, scanners and games etc. So it can be a very expensive OS X upgrade to 10.7 or later with third party software.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also they don't tell you is the risk in bricking your machine if the update goes badly, so you have to have AppleCare in case that occurs so it's on them to fix it. Else your paying money to replace the logicboard or buying a new machine prematurely.
A four year old machine can't have AppleCare, it's only good for 3 years from date of purchase new.
Your machine came with a boot hard drive, it's usually got about 4-5 years of life on it, then it needs to be replaced.
Also they don't tell you the newer OS X version has more abilities and features that causes your machine to slow down in performance, especially on older machines.
Also they implement new, idotic and extremely fustrating new user interface features in a arbitrary "you take it or leave it" manner with little or no fall back method.
So upgrading OS X is a gamble on older machines that otherwise would likely work perfectly fine for the next 5 years if one didn't need to have to mess with it.
Since Snow Leopard has slightly over 25% OS X version market share, your still good for security updates etc for the next few years if you just want to stay where your at and be happy.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
The Lions are, well, not so welcome due to Scott Forstall retard UI issues, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is likely going to fix things a bit better.
But basically what is occuring is Apple is trying to force a faster hardware upgrade cycle with the more expensive products by leveraging features on the smaller devices that expire sooner.
Apple is a hardware company that leverages whatever it can to get you to buy more hardware, it's why they are as rich as they are.
