No SIM, Wifi calling, possible? I pulled the sim card out of my unlocked, rooted vibrant...fired up the stock WiFi calling. It responded with invalid SIM...what does T-Mobile have to do with my wireless network? Do we have to unlock the app too?

You have to have your sim card in for it work. Did you try it with the sim card in??

Well it said something about using minutes...so I thought what be the point...when I could just use the phone anyways...could someone give me an example where I'd be where I'd have WiFi and no cell coverage?

If you're in a basement or solid building where signal can't penetrate, use wifi to make calls instead. Still uses your minutes, you just get a consistently strong signal instead of dropping the call

Wifi calling uses the account information on your SIM card to call people. If you have no SIM card, then you have no account with T-Mobile, making their app useless.

My vibrant see and connected to the VM mifi2200. But I cannot download or transfer any data. Does anyone has the same problem? The phone works with other wifi networks. Thanks.

In addition, my phone is rooted, lag fix installed. I also took the sim out, connected to mifi2200, but same thing, cannot surf. Any ideas? Thanks.

One more, my son nexus one connected to the mifi, he surfs fine. All the laptops are ok too. So what's wrong here? Thanks.

So I just trued to download the tmobile wifi calling app
And duhhhhh. I forgot she's on att.
App opened but says there's a sim error.
What can she do?

The WiFi calling app routes all calls and messaging to T-Mobile's servers, so naturally it won't work on ATT. Uninstall the app, restart, and it should work. Without WiFi calling, I mean.

Lol I figured that much manee
Im asking how to make it work.
3rd party app or something.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It won't work unless you use T-Mobile, simple as that. Unless ATT has some WiFi calling app I'm not aware of.

I just tried wifi again,and it does work on wifi. I must not have had a good wifi signal when I tried it before. Still doesn't work with data only though.

You'd need a phone like the thunderbolt to talk and surf without wifi

Seriously? CDMA phones, like the Fascinate, are not equipped to do data and voice simultaneously. You'd have to get a 4G phone.
Until more CDMA phones get the proper hardware/software that allow you to use 2 radio connections simultaneously or until 4G covers everything and Verizon starts using voice over LTE, this feature will not be vastly available.

Alternatively, you could hope that more phones use SVDO modems for CDMA, but since SVDO has been around for a while, and only the Thunderbolt has it afaik, that is probably useless as well.
I called at&t to get unlock code and they said there isn't one for that phone. Is that true? I need the unlock code so I can use the phone as mp3 player. My current service provider is sprint. I don't know anyone with GSM provider. I can't use the phone unless sim card is inserted. So what should I do?

Can't you buy a cheap SIM card from AT&T?
I'm trying not to spend more money ...

Ok, I have PRL 11115 and I get 3G when roaming. Many apps that access data work fine while roaming. However some of them do not. Some say that I don't have a data connection at all. Like Weatherbug, Crackle (and a few others) and while I can text, I can't send picture via sms. All of the settings are set to allow roaming. Any suggestions?
