So here's my problem: I dont wanna hear that you cant do it, but there has GOT to be a way to make phone calls over a 4G network. I dont care if I have to download an APP, a PROGRAM, or if I have to go MAD SCIENTIST on this thing. Any help you can give me will be GREATLY appreciated and if you could post a step by step guide for people having the same issue then that's even better.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Google Voice doesnt seem to work independently. It doesnt notify you when someone is calling and doesnt seem to have the ability to make outgoing calls.
Tried SipGate but only to find out that they have no more numbers in my area (that was a KILLER)
I'm currently able to make calls on Skype BUT ONLY on a Wi-Fi connection (limited).... I need 4G network calling (everywhere)
Anything you can do guys, this has been a thorn for many people and there arent many things out there that show you how to set it up.

download sipdroid, and when you set it up go to the bottom and click, link with google voice. I am making calls over 4g, just cant receive.
I currently have the sipdroid app, however I have no idea how set it up with the right settings to connect it with my google voice. If you could help me out, I would seriously appreciate that.

Blaze what part of Philly?
Ok so currently I've gotten Sipdroid working and making calls over the 4G network. However, when calling over the 4G network the calls are choppy and full of static to the person on the other end. On my end though, the call is perfectly clear.
I've tried altering the Audio/Video options (turning them all on low, turning them on high), messing with the Audio Codecs (turning them all on NEVER except GSM 13kbit), and turned off the improve audio option. However my calls still remain the same.
Has anybody figured out to completely clear up Sipdroid calls over 4G? Is there any other APP i can download to complement the clarity of the call?
Sipdroid works perfect with google voice. I can make call to any part of the world!!! Hell yesssss!!! You can try. Troubleshoot?? Ask us!!!
Yes, but how are the calls over a 4G network? If they're clear, I'd like to know how if possible.
Does Sipdroid work for making as well as receiving calls over 3G/4G?
Yes, Sipdroid works for me over Tmobile's 4G network, but it sounds choppy to ppl on the other end. Through a Wi-Fi connection though it sounds prefect.
Waiting on Skype personally here. And what was that other program people are talking about? Tango?

any part of the world? I tried to call london and I got a message saying I didn't have enough credits. I think for international calls you have to have $ on your google voice account as it uses GV to make the international call. Unless there is another way
hrm I may have to try sipdroid then. =) Does google talk allow for you to have a phone number like skype does?
not sure this has been answered. but
just tested, I CAN receive incoming calls when my Sipdroid is on (green light) and if anyone calls my google voice number.
i mean, getting everything connected isnt the problem. there's plenty of guides online to help you do that with different apps. my problem is the call clarity over T-Mobile's 4G network when using sipdroid + google voice. On my end the calls are clear and perfect, but when I start talking the listener hears choppy words and static. Does anybody have ANY kind of solution to this issue??? Much appreciated.
blaze, I know you've asked this a bunch of times, so I'll venture a potential solution.
Who's your SIP provider? I've used pbxes and had very clear calls on my Droid, even over 3G. Maybe try changing up your SIP provider.
I can send and receive calls over sip Droid and gvoice. Works perfect on wifi have not tried cell network.
@ Z4nd4r
I use the same thing (sipdroid + pbxes) But I've basically given up on the call clarity over 4G and am looking for a supplemental phone now. It could be the strength of your network. Unfortunately with T-Mobile in Philadelphia on 4G, I'm thinking its just gonna be this way. Unless you have a settings tweak.
can someone post there guide to have this working for everyone
I have the guide and everything...its all set up. My issue is CALL CLARITY. Are you using yours on T-Mobile's 4G network. Cause its choppy as hell when I use it for the person on the other end. Clear for me, Static for them
On Wi-Fi it works fine...on 4G, not so much
took the ota update from t-mobile - noticing that when making wifi calls, the calls drop out intermittently where I can hear the other person on the call, but they can't hear me. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
So I have little to no service at my house so all my calls are done through wifi calling. My question is I'm having people call me and it goes straight to voice mail especially my wife. I can get text messages and thats how I'm finding out people are calling me. Please help
I'm don't have any resolution I'm afraid but I cant attest that Wi-Fi Calling on my T-Mobile Galaxy S8 is also terrible. And that would be with an excellent wifi signal on a fast connection with low latency. Tested on multiple connections that get 5mbps+ upstream, and people say the quality on the their end is terrible. On my current connection I'm seeing 60/6, I'm right by the router, and T-Mobile 611 folks said they could barely understand me.
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem, but it's happened since day one. When I call my wife and she answers I cant hear her but she can hear me. She has an Iphone 7plus. The kicker though is if she calls me then everything is fine. Anyone experienced this problem?
Bump
Probably not the same issue & is a result of my area that I had but with my Note 5.... when VoLTE first got turned on in my area I would have this problem a lot as well as dropped calls & long wait times for calls to connect or not connect at all. I disabled VoLTE & that took care of all that.
With my Note 8 I still have dropped calls issues with VoLTE turned on in certain areas. Much better than before but still is annoying to the point where I leave VoLTE off anytime I'm not at home or at work. But no issue where people can't hear me speak with my Note 8.

Ditto, i remember this in my area years back as they were rolling out VoLTE.
I got same experience but that is when I'm calling using a video call in some apps (well I only have WhatsApp and messenger and both got poor sound when I'm calling)
I got a strange issue, sometimes when I answer a call I can't hear other person, not sure why? It happens usually when they phone me.
I use VoIP calling and wifi calling due to weak signal at home, may update exynos. Any thoughts?
