Fake/3g over wifi emulator?

Hi, i have senn around some apps are using restriction for 3g only (like skype) and also the tv program for the bell vibrant. I were wondering, is there any way to "emulate" 3g over wifi? (making the phone think it is on 3g when it is actually only on wifi?).
Thank you very much

interesting question
it'll be nice to have some app that could do that

So... anyone ever heard of such thing? Is it even possible?
thanks

This is something I would love to find as well. Any leads are greatly appreciated.

Skype works over WiFi.
I don't really understand what you mean. I use Skype on my Galaxy S and everything works over WiFi.
But if the app only work if you're online via 3G like Navigon Select (T-Mobile 3G network to check if you're really a T-Mobile user) than you can't emulate that because you must have an IP that were given you for 3G.

T-Mobile doesn't need you to have a T-Mobile 3G connection to know that you are a T-Mobile customer, at least not technically. The notion that it might be tied into their user verification system is a discouraging one, and I'll admit entirely possible, though I hadn't considered it.
Anyways, I was looking for 3G emulation for T-Mobile's visual voicemail, not Skype. Thanks for the info.

Would love to have this for Nexus S where Internet Calling(VOIP) requires Wifi into the Original System, but on Cyanogenmod it works over both Wifi+3G but i prefer to stay into Original OS plus having VOIP call over 3G

[Help] - Cant get 3g data working on Samsung ATIV SE Unlocked

Hi guys
I bought Samsung ATIV SE unlocked from ebay. Everything seems to be working fine, i updated to official 8.1.1 update but i am getting only edge connection (2g). Internet speeds are way too worse. Cant get 3g data working.. Tried adding APN manually but seems like verizon has blocked it.
I tried using field test app or diagnosis app to force 3g only but seems like that only also blocked. Kindly help me :crying:

AT&T Internet Settings for T-mobile Sony Xperia Z3

Hello everyone,
I have a T-mobile Z3 that is currently unlocked to work for my AT&T provider. I am able to make calls and send regular text messages with no problems. My problem is that I am only able to access the Internet via WiFi only and not 4G or even 3G. I am usually always around WiFi but for times when I am in need to use the mobile web, I am unable to. What are the proper settings for this? I understand that the T-mobile version does not share the same LTE band as AT&T so that's ok with me but 4G or 3G is ok with me. I have tried to APN settings provided by AT&T but it does not work. I am leaving on a trip in a few days and would like to have this working before I leave. I am sure someone out there has the answers I seek. I hope that I have posted this in the correct forum. If not, please feel free to move it as it might help me to get my question answered. Thanks again for your help everyone!

After doing more further research, I found the settings that work for my phone. I was just about to sell this phone and get a Note 4. Not anymore now that I got this to work. Thanks again everyone!

How did you get this to work? Help?

The phone was only on a temporary unlock and I am unable to use it for cellular service anymore but I went to this website to get all the settings to make it work for AT&T.

Hope this helps.

That's normal...
Data will only stay active when you call on "Voice over LTE" (VoLTE), but this must be supported by your operator and activated for your subscription and/or phone.

Got it
Thank you so much, kinda crazy tho TBH but its good to know that its a normal thing.
Any workaround for the VOLTE thing? specially if its not supported by the network?
Thanks again appreciate it

Anyone using the US unlocked model on Verizon? Curious if wifi calling works.

Hey all,
I'm curious if anyone is willing to chime in to let me know if they are running the US unlocked model: SM-G781U1 on Verizon. I have an existing activated Verizon sim card (currently in a Pixel 4 XL) and could easily put it in a US unlocked model. I'm mostly considering the unlocked model since it seems like it's easier to get better deals on it and I tend to prefer unlocked models. I suspect it will work fine, maybe without some 5G bands but that's of no concern for me. Can anyone confirm if they have this setup and if wifi calling works? Sometimes I have seen Verizon block wifi calling on unlocked phones and for me at least this is an important feature because of my lack of cell signal where I'm at.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed some light.

I am and it does give you the option to set up wifi calling. I set it up and was able to make a call while in airplane mode. No 5G though. Still says LTE.

Thanks so much for that info. That is really helpful and gives me the extra confidence that it's the next right phone for me. I love my Pixel 4 XL but want something new and am also thinking I may actually utilize Dex a bunch so we'll see. I appreciate you taking the time to test that for me.

I'm hoping you can help me out by please posting images of our unlocked phone working with wifi calling.
Samsung is telling me that it doesn't work and never will, but verizon is telling me that they have hundreds of these phones working with wifi calling.
I believe Verizon and you! and want samsung to do something to fix my phone which is clearly not working the way it should. They have asked me to verify that it is even possible.
Please post images of your phone model # with wifi calling working.
THANK YOU!
