Are you trying to use voip? What problem are you having, be more specific.
Okay I switched to Family Mobile (with walmart) and when I try to turn on Wifi calling this shows up:
W006. 15 ISP or T-Mobile network error
I don't know why because Family mobile uses T-Mobile satellites so why isn't it working??

What is wifi calling?
Wifi calling is using a wifi connection to magnify the strength of your phones calling and messaging signal!
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
It seems like wifi calling is not supported by Family Mobile. You might want to call customer support to see if they can help you set it up. Though it uses t-mobile, t-mobile network recognized that you are not their customer.

I have the same problem and have been searching all around for a fix for this. Also updates to Mytouch? Wounder how to get any future updates

I had this issue when I first got my OG evo, I called in and they walked through altering some settings, took me some time arguing with them but it worked
just a trick to make max allowed connection from 1 to 8 on gsm/umts network mode
make sure you get 3g network as this doesn't work over 2g connections
just make network mode and select network to automatic
and open mobile hotspot setting>manage devices>device limit
you 'll probably get 8 devices selections

umm....its not a trick, its built-in, in the OS.
Here in the US, the carriers (Sprint for the Photon) control everything about their phones and tethering is one of the features that is locked. They (all) want money from customers and hence force customers to buy a tethering plan.
Fortunately for us, rooting solves the problem.
Not to mention that Airtel will be reporting your data usage to Sprint as an international partner with them. That's the only reason you're even allowed on the Airtel network - because you have an active Sprint account.
You will be billed for data usage and airtime, at international rates without an international plan or a prepaid sim, you better believe that.

Please explain how you are getting this for free and how this applies to us? If not Sprint (who provides access and billing to these technologies *outside the US* using the "native" sim card), then who is your gsm/umts provider?

It will not work on Sprint network nor wherever sprint coverage is available as on switching network mode to automatic it will connect to sprint network.
I am using it in india on airtel gsm sim card and "airtelgprs.com" apn for internet connection.Mobile hotspot's data connection is using my airtel's apn which is deducted from my gprs plan.I am using over 3 devices connected from my photon for a month now.
I am able to do this only after updating it to the new ota update available aka 198_6. In the updates release note mobile hotspot over 3g for 1 device has been revealed.you will get device limit as 1 on swiching network mode to gsm/umts. but when u make the network mode to automatic you 'll get device limit as 8 while you are still on 3g gsm network.

if you are in USA or Canada you can use google voice but there isn't much option elsewhere
i use viber
IF you have a Google Voice account use GrooveIP. It's like 5 bucks, but makes calls over WiFI using a VoIP protocol. Works like a champ.
And since it's data based you can leave it on and make calls via data over HSAP(+).
there's a free version of GrooveIP in the market too. It only does wifi calls and there's some other limitations, but it's worth looking at.
Um if you ask T-Mobile WiFi calling doesn't use plan minutes.
Tmobile wifi calling its a good option

Funny because i bought GrooveIP to avoid minuets being deducted from my plan.
I can tell you i used WiFi calling exclusively at the house and it did draw minuets.
and
GrooveIP can also be installed onto non cell radio Android Devices, Tablets, cell phones with no SIM card and can be made to make/receive phone calls. Pretty awesome calling people from my Transformer, with the help of BT headset.

It won't work either for one of two reasons
First it works strictly thru tmobile SIM card , even tho you get tmo lte
Second the WiFi calling error means that you have to add update 911 address under your My T-Mobile account and then it works
I don't believe using a metro SIM In any tmo Device will get WiFi calling ever ,mainly cause it's alot to do with the tmo sim service the Main reachable service is still metro towers that's why .

I am wanting to set this up too. Metro PCS has good service in my area but they said they're having trouble with the GSM phones connecting to their 4G LTE network. T-Mobile's voice and text work great where I'm at and my brother is on Metro with one of their CDMA phones and his service works well. I literally just got my HTC One today and so far at my house I'm only getting 'G' which I assume is 1x or Edge service correct? When I reboot the phone and it initially connects to 4G and then drops it. I'm wondering if I take it to Metro and have them put it on their network if the 4G will work better? I wouldn't think it would impact it that much though. I have 30 days to try it out before I lose out on being able to return it and I'm all about saving money so switching to Metro is a big deal to me but I need my 4G too!

I'm no longer in Metropcs CDMA or Their Ericsson LTE network. I'm now on T-Mobile Gsm and LTE network under Nokia but with Metropcs Account. 2 different networks, so that means when you where on MetroPCS cdma and LTE you where on their original lte footprint with Ericsson lte sites, tmobile is planning to unite Metropcs lte with tmobile Nokia lte. But it will take some time.

Thats kool it is something you could have done setup from phone at home in 3 minutes tho...just sayin...
Glad it worked tho.
So to sum it up your saying you get actual tmobile WiFi calling with a actual metro 4g SIM card in a tMobile device ?
Not the same WiFi calling as my metro but I mean the tmobile exclusive WiFi calling .
That's very weird that that works using a metro SIM ..cause it's suppose to be a tmo sim cars thing also that has a lot to do with how it works .

If you have any of the Sprint spark enabled phones you lose data connection ( 2g, 3g, 4g) while on a call, unless you're connected to wifi.
I noticed this too. Back on the S3 you could do both but now you can't.

The S3, EVO LTE, and S4(pre spark) could do it fine because they had 2 radios. They were sold around the time AT&T and T-Mobile were marketing the ability to do Talk and Data at the same time.
Since that time has passed, the new Spark Phones will not be able to do Talk and Data until VoLTE is enabled.. Yay!
It is a step back so I will be keeping my EVO LTE around incase I need the ability more often then not. :/

I don't think this is a Sprint specific thing. My work iPhone 5 (On Verizon) does the same thing.. as others have said there is only 1 radio.. probably cost savings/power savings is why they are doing it.
It is a CDMA thing. The Radio cannot do Data and Voice at the same time on the same radio. GSM is completely different technology so it doesn't have this limitation.
On the Sprint/Verizon phones that could do this, they either had separate 3G/4G modems, or Duel 3G and a 4G modem. It didn't help Battery life when more than one is in use, but it did get around the problem of data while on voice quite well.
No Spark Sprint Devices have this however. They all have only 1 radio at the moment so until VoLTE is turned on, No Voice and Data.
All you've gotta do is switch to T-Mobile. I've got talk text and internet all the same time.

That feature only works on AT&T network.
It's not actually a CDMA thing only. It's has to deal with the chipset. Even T-Mobile and AT&T you'll lose LTE while on call as manufacturers have consolidated the radios.
Yeah i lose data when I make a call on sprint. But with my t-mobile, it just drops to 3g (hspa) which is faster than sprints 4g anyways...
