I used the Note 2 on T-Mobile before I moved over to Verizon with their Note 2. On the TMobile one I could use the Wi-fi calling instead of my minutes and it worked great. But on the Verizon verzion I don't wvwn have Wifi calling in settings or anything. How do I get that back? How do I activitie Wi-fi calling?

That's an option exclusive to T-Mobile. There are ways to do that with 3rd party apps and Google Voice number.

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.

It won't work unless you use T-Mobile, simple as that. Unless ATT has some WiFi calling app I'm not aware of.

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.
Okay as many of you know Unlimited wifi is back, and I contacted Tmobile to enable it on my lines, but I'm not sure if it's working with my Vibrant as I'm currently running the latest version of Bionix, and I'm not sure it supports the unlimited wifi calling service. I guess I'm suppose to see an icon or something, but I don't. Any one else having this issue?
Get the wifi calling app. Then enable it. Then it will work. The rom you use supports it fully

When I turn that app on it says it's still using minutes. Supposedly this new feature doesn't use minutes.
Bump?

Unlimited Wifi Calling must be added as a feature to your account first. Then the app will not use minutes. Call customer care and have a rep add it, it's free.

It is an added feature. But how do I know its working?

Why is this needed? My wife can turn on both her hot spot and tether on command on a stock non rooted VZW gs4.

It is for users on an unlimited data plan. Verizon blocks the usage of the wifi tether built into the S4. With the hack it enables unlimited plan users to use the built in wifi tether.

T mobile doesn't support mms via WiFi. Disable that setting in any 3rd party app.

I spoke with a T Mobile rep about this and did some redditing. The problem is MMS in "3rd party" clients which even includes programs like hangouts and text secure. If you're not on their network the picture will not come through because when the server checks your connection it will only see your wifi and it won't think your wifi is authorized to see the picture. T Mobile support was only so helpful, they said they'd consider fixing it in a future patch for the phone so unless you flash a custom ROM you won't get this resolved any sooner. To view the picture turn off wifi for a second. I want a freaking data credit for that bull****. Charge me by the GB then force me to use their connection to use my phone? Boo hiss.
