Will Note 3 support Wi-Fi calls? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Sure hope so and I hope the devs here get it to us faster than sprint ....... #stupidairrave

What would you use wifi calling for because you could just use google voice over wifi with the number you already have.

How do you do Google voice calls ?

Based on your "Stupid AirRave" comment, I'm guessing that are you looking for VOIP service for your N3?
Before you proceed, check the internet connection you plan to use to see if it's up to par.

If it passed then check out some options here:

Good luck.

FreedomPop is doing it on the Sprint network for cheap.

Probably but I doubt anyone can tell you for certain right now.

Not able to roam

Anyone know how I can get roaming to work? I'm rooted, s-off with 1.58 hboot. Whenever my phone switches to roaming, I can't make/recieve calls nor texts. However it shows 1x for data. Ive tried prl update, different roms and hard reset and none have solved the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated

At least your phone switches to roaming. I have to manual switch it, automatic mode doesn't work. Have you tried switching to Roam only mode? Are you on ICS, I wonder if the ICS update Borked roaming or sprint is trying to pinch pennys by making it difficult.

Id rather have 2 manually switch 2 roam, just as long as it worked when in roaming. I dont have the option in the rom Im using now and yes I have an ics rom. Yeah I think sprint is trying 2 pinch pennys. Even their service is getting to suck. 3G hardly ever works and calls are hit and miss to make/recieve and constant fail txt

I feel your pain, sprint service is going down hill. I live in a major metro area (St. Louis) and I am now experience no service or little service more and more.

Sorry, no solution, just to say I have same issue as you. Phone roams fine, but while roaming, data is nonexistent and sometimes calling doesn't work either.

Glad to see Im not the only one having the problem. I could live without the data while roaming. Its the calls and txts that matter. If I try making a call, I get a verizon error msg unable to complete the call and to power off and back on and txt fail to send.

Tmobile/AT&T data speed on Verizon Note 2

I just sold a Verizon Note 2 to someone using Tmobile service. He tested voice and it worked fine so he was satisfied with that. Didn't get the chance to test data. What can he expect his data speeds to be? Would also like to know this for someone using AT&T.
Thanks!

I was doing the same thing and read a little bit about someone getting it to go but causing problems for mms. i believe it was deodex* only so far the mod is for.
So far Wifi Tether Router is working 100%. Anyone wanting wifi tether ability without paying $10 for all the other tether apps should but this $2 app instead works perfect.
i have bought wifi pda net in the past but it has never really supported the wifi part its always been usb tether. the price for this app was perfect for me to try it out so thought id vouch for its use on 4.4 kitkat update.

Wifi calling from overseas?

Has anyone been able to take their stock note 3 overseas and been able to use wifi calling?
If so, the address setup, was it an issue?
Thanks in advance.

I do believe it says it doesn't work overseas when you set it up but haven't done it ... says standard cdma rates apply

According to Sprint: http://newsroom.sprint.com/blogs/de...lable-for-samsung-galaxy-note-3-customers.htm
"Unlimited voice calling and messaging on Wi-Fi: All domestic calling and messaging is FREE (standard CDMA international rates apply for international calls)"
Those international rates vary by country but are quite expensive: http://shop2.sprint.com/assets/pdfs/en/support/guides/services/worldwide/Worldwide_eflyer.pdf
Yes i see if you are calling overseas.
But im wondering being abroad and calling the US as though you were here in the States.

I think they will be able to tell that you are not in the States and will charge international rates, but we won't know for sure until someone tries it. For myself, it works on my home networks but I haven't been able to get it activated on Denny's Wi-Fi, so calling on an international Wi-Fi might be even more challenging.
A VPN relay through the US should work too.
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I don't think sprint can charge you if you have international calling disabled. I have mine disabled and I can't even place call... this would be my arguing point in case of charge but no guarantee. Just in case disable your location / GPS and give it a shot with VPN. Place short call, wait 24h, login to sprint and check is there any charges
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
Just buy one more sim card for your device to make wi-fi calls. Local prepaid sim cards in every country you visit or MTXConnect data-only sim card for visiting Europe.

T-Mobile wifi calling work around

So I think most agree the device is great if you get past the green screen. But, the issue with no wifi calling was killing me. When at the gym there is no signal at all, Great wifi though. I downloaded and signed up for digits. BAM!! All good now, can text and call using WiFi.

Didn't think about digits, thanks. Maybe Tasker can help me enable Digits on specific SSIDs.

You, sir, are a GENIUS!! What a smart solution! Now I can send and receive calls, SMS and voicemails while in low signal areas... and I just thought about this... we can use digits while roaming internationally to avoid the hassle of using their local phone number system!
Just get a local sim card for data and as the OP said, BAM!! Call people with your local number. That's a great idea for friends and families traveling together. Everyone can simply call each other on their regular phone number, using the Digits app. :victory: :highfive:
Nice!!! Glad I could be of assistance.
