Will iPhone 5 support WiFi calling?

Does the iPhone 5 running IOS 8 support WiFi calling?

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.

Will Iphone 4S Support 4G ?

I have one Question will Iphone 4s Support 4g if other carriers support 4g ? Thank you verry much !
I have an Iphone 4s Unlocked Buyed From Apple Store

No current model iPhone supports true 4G, so your phone will never support true 4G. You'll have to purchase a new iPhone, if/when Apple offers a true 4G model.

3G iphone cannot support video call & bluetooth only can for hand free

Hai... So suprise that the 3G iphone was below expectation. What a disappointment. They cannot even support 3G Video call and worst of all the blue tooth can only be used for hand free.
The software engineer should look at way to develop a more advance software and use.
Problem encounter:
1. We cannot copy and paste our text.
2. Cannot scroll back to the last function we can only press the short cut key to get back to the main page and start all over again.
3. 3G phone that cannot make 3G call
4. Bluetooth function can only use to connect to hand free not able to send photo, music and etc...
5. Cannot forward SMS
Here is some of the pointer. I have not fully explore the hp. totally disappointed and thing there is more. Hopefully more software update will solve this problems.

Hi everyone!
Just a quick update here, but about two days since my original post, I've made a visit to the AT&T store with my dad, even though AT&T has nothing to do with the phone itself. Then the AT&T service employee told us that a hard reset should do the trick. Then before I did a full backup and restoration of my iPhone software, my dad called AT&T with no luck. He also attempted to call Apple, but without success, b/c the phone was out of warranty.
So, as a last resort option, I performed a backup and did a full reset of the iPhone using iTunes to restore the phone back to where it was since the last iOS update, and the last iCloud backup. The result: it was worth the option because the whole phone's WiFi and Bluetooth got malfunctioned sometime few days ago and after that iOS 6.1.3 restoration, I got both the WiFi and the Bluetooth functions working properly!
The next time any iPhone user comes up with this same situation as mine in the earlier post, don't try visiting the AT&T store b/c they won't help with anything with the phones themselves, and backup and restore the whole iPhone as a last resort when every easy solution fails.

HT5535 Does iPhone 5 support "WiFi Direct"

I want to print to my Brother printer from my iPhone 5 but I do not have a wireless network. The printer says that I can configure a wireless network between the printer and moblie devise (iPhone) with out an access point. The instruction first ask if the iPhone supports "WiFi Direst"? Does the iPhone 5 support Wi-Fi Direct? If not, does it support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)? If it support WPS does it support "one push configuration?

iPhone 5 does not support wifi direct.
https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/support_for_wifi_direct_both_incoming_and_out going
(look at the first response in this link, as it pertains to the iphone 5).
And it does not support WPS (I suspect because of security issues).

Will iPhone 4s support 2 phone numbers?

I am self employed and find myself needing 2 phone numbers, one personal and one for business. I also don't want 2 phones if I don't have to. does anyone know if it will support 2 numbers??

That's a good question considering it is both CDMA and GSM. IF it can, which I doubt due to software limitations (iOS), you would need one line to be on a CDMA carrier and the other to be on a GSM carrier since the iPhone 4S only has one SIM slot.
Alternatively, you could use something like Skype with an incomming number or the MagicJack app with an incoming number. If you used both these software solutions, you could technically be recieving three numbers on your iPhone.

Does iPhone 3G supports video calls?

Hi All,
I am an iphone 5 user.
I have onedoubt coul any one give me answer.
I need to use FM Radio in my Iphone 5. Please let me know the solution.
Have a blessed day.

iPhones do not have FM radio receivers. Some radio stations stream their broadcasts across the Internet which you could listen to via an app, of which there are a number available in the iTunes Store.

Will iPhone EVER support over the air sync of subscription calendars?

Anyone know if there are any plans to allow for over the air sync of subscription calendars? I had hoped this would be covered in the 2.1 update.

Since this is a user to user help forum only, no one here knows.
If Apple has plans to incorporate this and is working on it, and someone here is privileged to such information, they would be under Apple's NDA (non-disclosure agreement) and aren't allowed to say until Apple makes an announcement or until the update that includes this is released.

IOS 8: T-Mobile WiFi Calling on 5s issues

Is anyone out there having problems with WiFi calling w/ their iPhone on T-Mobile?
I updated my Wife's 5s to iOS 8, and enabled the feature in settings because we suffer from terrible calling performance on T-Mobile (1 maybe 2 bars of signal) in our home. She still drops calls regularly. I dropped a call three times while speaking with T-Mo support about it last night.
They told me that they had to provision the feature on the account, which they did a couple of days ago, but even after doing so, it still doesn't seem to be working. How can I tell if the iPhone is using WiFi on a call? Is there an option to force it to use WiFi for calls?
I have an (older, rectangle 2nd gen) Time Capsule in bridge mode that serves WiFi to the house, but I don't think it is the issue because other wireless devices work just fine and I have no other WiFi issues. Also, the other phones on our T-Mobile account are all Android phones that support WiFi calling and they all seem to be working flawlessly with WiFi calling and indicate when the phone is placing the call over WiFi.
So, aside from using a different WiFi base station (such as T-Mobile's new WiFi router - which I won't do unless it supports bridge mode because I have a much more robust Cisco firewall doing the routing) I can only conclude this is an Apple/T-Mobile issue with their implementation of WiFi calling.
Just wondered what other iOS 8 & T-Mobile users were seeing with WiFi calling.
Thanks in advance, any helpful info would be appreciated.

@chattphotos: I didn't try pingtest, but with all due respect, I don't see the point. A connection with a 10ms ping and 100 down and 4 up should PLENTY!
@Hofstrajet: My wife's phone shows the same as the screenshot you posted. It definitely says T-Mobile Wifi
@Prelude_007 When you say you can connect at home, does that mean you can somehow make WiFi calls there? How do you know the call is actually going over WiFi from home and not Cellular? What is your cell signal like at home? At your work, it might not work because they probably are more restrictive with what kinds of traffic they will allow. It could be that your IT staff have firewall rules preventing anything but web and email traffic to pass. I am sure this VoIP protocol uses some different ports, but I haven't seen the details on how it was implemented yet.
My thoughts at this moment is that either there is an issue in iOS that may or may not be limited to the 5s, or that T-Mobile still needs to do something on their end.
The only thing I have left to try on my end is a different WiFi access point. but given that my Samsung Note 3, my son's Note 3, and another Galaxy S5 all have NO PROBLEMS making/taking WiFi calls, it has to be an Apple <-> T-Mobile issue.

Wifi Calling on Samsung Galaxy Alpha ?

Is there a new version of firmware coming to enable wifi calling on the Samsung Galaxy Alpha ? As I purchased this device very recently from EE and it's virtually the same inside as the Galaxy S5 (which does support wifi calling) it would seem reasonable if this phone were to support it too. Is there a release date for this firmware ? Thanks in anticipation ......................

Hi ,
WIFI Calling is only available on the phones listed here.
The Alpha is not going to have this feature.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Thanks.

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.

Each device needs a separate address. Use an email address (gmail.com) on the iPad.

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. Bad job testing the software Apple.

I updated an iPod touch, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4 to iOS 6, and all of them now will not connect to WiFi. They all give this wierd 404 error page from Apple and insist that I need to login to the network. What's the fix? None of the recommended fixes work in any of these devices. Reset device, reset network, renew lease, etc. None of them work.

Does the iPod work OK?
Does it charge when connect to the computer?
Does it appear in My Computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
