I've got a G2 and the OTA that was pushed at the beginning of November gave me a much needed function for wifi calling when I am in Manila, which is every couple months. My coworker has the Galaxy S and is in Manila now and wants to know if his phone has the functionality. I haven't been able to find anything on it being part of the stock functions, so I'm asking here. His phone isn't rooted or hacked in any way, so I'm just wondering if it is something he would have received an update for, or if it would have to be rooted first? Thanks in advance? I tried a search, but wasn't able to find what I'm looking for. If you know of a thread I can send him to, that would be great too. Thanks again!
Can anyone help me on this? I don't have the phone near me, so I can't verify the settings. I wouldn't ask if I was able to find out any other way, but searches aren't coming up with anything. Too many posts on wifi to find something on wifi calling.
I don't think there are any stock apps that let you do wifi voice calling. However, you may want to give skype a try. I managed to get it working with voice but there is no video calling yet. Maybe in the future.
apparently the new froyo build being pushed or the tmobile vibrrant has a wifi calling app.. can anyone get it so we can get it working on our galaxy s'
thanks in advance
Try "Tango" app (your coworker has to install "Tango" aswell).
Try CSipSimple, and sign a voip plan, like justvoip. Setup your sip number and enjoy, works very well here.

Hello,
I'm going to be going to Canada and would like to know if there is any app out there that is gonna let me call people via a wifi connection. It would be too expensive to use even a calling card. I know Skype would probably do the trick but if there's something else that would be great (Skype's a bit of a battery killer).
Also, if anyone knows of any apps for texting that would be great as well. Google Voice is fine, but it send texts from the Google Voice number. And Whattheapp is fantastic but only for people who have it as well. I just need to be able to contact people who only use simple SMS.
Thank you guys!!
Can a mod move this to the Q&A section? I'll probably get more views that way. Thanks!
Maybe using Tikl, but that replies on the people you want to call also having it on their phones... Other than that, yeah, you'll need some sort of VoIP app/service.
I know there is a work around for euro version of galaxy tab and the sim based versions to allow for dialer. Now personally i have the VZW version of the tab that I would like to possibly flash the tab to cricket for use with 3g and voice and i know they will allow this as cricket doesnt give a crap lol!
I have looked around for last couple days to see if there was a dailer enabler or anyway to get in to the pst settings ive found cupple blurbs about using the notepad. But nothing solid any points in the right direction or even a all out answer would be highly appreciated.
I don't think there's any "workaround" for the Euro Tabs when it comes to the phone functionality. The feature is there and works right out of the box. I do believe there has been success stories of people getting the phone to work on their US Tabs via the flashing of custom firmware and drivers though. Try searching for terms such as "getting phone to work on Verizon Tab" and the like, should be able to find something.
you'd need a cdma version. I've searched all over google for someone that's been flashing to cricket and got squat. I'd like to do it!
ya ive done numerous searches and to no avail i think the reason people are not working on this is because verizon will not allow you to use voice but for me i dont want voice through verizon i want to use cricket and i know 100% sure they will support 3g and voice for tab if you could add dialer and change pst settings
seems this threads dead but no sense in starting a new one when this ones prefectly fine im still looking for any information other than the generic sipdroid and skype answer the actual dialer etc.
Yeah, I would really like the dialer working. And the call log...
SIPdroid dialer doesn't quite cut it, and also it's blocked directly.
Hi!
First of all, I don't know where to fit this post, since I'd believe it's more gingerbread related than Nexus, but on the Android topic only hacking/development/themes are mostly supported, so I don't know how appropiated would it be.
So, here it goes. I'm living in Hong Kong, and recently moved to a new apartment, where GSM coberture reception is poor to say it kindly. However we have a properly working cable provider, with internet access, and a wifi router configured. So my idea would be, as soon as the mobile detects the wifi, change into wifi mode, and send the calls through voip.
Could I still keep my phone number? I mean, if somebody calls, I'd like the call to be sent through voip, so I wouldn't loose coberture.
I THINK google voice does this kind of stuff, but I'm not sure...Never was activated for me. Well, to be honest, now it doesn't give me the "we are currently working with several providers from different countries" ****, it actually lets me in...to a very limited menu where I can't do anything
Anyway, I can't figue out how to set my number to work, so I guess it's still disabled somehow. In the meantime, I'd like to make this VoIP redirection work, is there an easy way? How would you guys do it?
Thank you!
How many times? Seriously? There is a freaking section called Q and A, and at the VERY top, FIRST thing in this forum:
DO *NOT* POST QUESTIONS IN THIS FORUM - only tips/info/etc.
Ops. Sorry. I didn't see the post. I guess that's why I was asking first where this post would belong to. IS there any way to move this to the proper thread? Or should I repost again?
Thank you!
Please, could anybody help me on this? Thank you!
Hey Devs I could really use your help in this matter. Here is the deal, I would like to find a way to be able to make free phone calls using my Captivate while deployed to Iraq/Kuwait. I will be leaving soon and would like some help with a "be all" solution. I use ATT but I don't think that really matters for what I am wanting to accomplish. I have searched all over the internet and I see a bunch of way to do this...in USA. I can't seem to find a way that will work in Iraq. I have tried to use a combo of Sipgate + Google Voice but I read somewhere that google voice only works in USA and the steps that are used appear to be for a past version of the phone app and i can't seem to get it to work correctly. I don't have a lot of time to try and figure this out because I leave very soon. If anybody knows of the steps needed to allow free cell phone calls over Wifi in the middle east, please help me out.
I know I can use Skype and that is the preferred way but that means that my all my friends and family will have to be defendant on a computer or a smart phone. I don't want that, I would like to be able to call any number on any phone over Wifi.

Skype can call mobile and land lines. You just need to have credit. I know its not free. But there really is no free way to make calls over wi-fi.
**Edit: at least not any good means.
Google Voice only really works to US *numbers*, but the free inbound you get from Sipgate One is a US number, so it works.
The only problem is latency and variable call quality, but if you're half a world away people should be understanding...
For apps I suggest Xinlu's Google Voice Callback and CSipSimple.
Ummm ive been to kuwait and the wifi over there is not good enough to be making calls on ur phone via wifi best bet is skype or other services and or just get a local sim card over there and make cell calls and also u should just use the free dsn lines they have over there.

Hello everyone! I am new to these forums but I wanted to post because I have tried every single setting known to google it seems to get my phone working since going over from ATT to ATT Straight Talk. I have the S3 Mini running 4.2.2
The problem is that I can not send Picture Messages or MMS or receive them! I am getting 4G and the internet works great! I can make and send calls just fine, I can send regular texts with no pictures and receive them just great no issues. I just can not find out how to get the picture messaging going. I thought ok I can at least come to the largest forums on the planet for Android and see if I can talk with someone who has the same phone on the same network and get this thing working. I am willing to try any setting, I have been through what I know as ever single APN and nothing gets the pictures to work. Once more thanks so much and I hope that someone out there can offer me some help on this.:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
