I just figured out an issue that was driving me crazy. If you use any 3rd party texting apps and have wifi calling enabled, you can't send or receive mms messages. This includes Hangouts. Want to text that pic, you have to disable wifi calling.
Now I need a realistic solution, other than use stock messaging or disable wifi calling.

I would like an app, that will let me send/receive SMS/MMS via WiFi. There are times I would like to send a text, but do not have any reception other then WiFi. What would be the best way to do that?
Ive recently had a problem with my wifi calling in that I am able to make calls just fine but am unable to send text messages. The message just constantly says sending but never goes through until i turn off the wifi calling. Is the wifi calling only meant for calls and prevents messages from being sent? I can't imagine that it doesnt support SMS but maybe I'm wrong. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
You are in the wrong place, our phones don't have WiFi calling unfortunately. Here is where I think you need to be.

Has anyone used a 3rd party SMS/MMS application (ie Handcent, GoSMS, Textra, 8sms, etc etc) to use send/receive MMS over WiFi Calling WITHOUT ANY DATA? I'm in an area where I can only use WFC, and all of my 3rd party SMS apps simply will not send or receive MMS over WiFi Calling without using the stock app.
Is there a solution?
And I repeat, NO DATA, no wifi = no service, so if you have a solution, make sure it's not quietly turning on data, sending the MMS, then going back to wifi, because that's not going to work as there is no cell service in this location.

Hey, I understand your needs. I work in a place where I have NO cell coverage at all and WiFi-Calling is the only way I can stay connected. I really don't like using 3rd party messaging apps so I'm not sure I have a solution for your needs in regards to 3rd party apps. But I know the stock messaging app on UVMC6 (stock 4.1.2 for T989) can send mms over wifi-calling. I'm guessing you are using a 3rd party app because the stock app doesn't do something you need/you don't like it. If you don't like it then there's nothing I can do. If you don't like the stock messaging app because you need...say group messaging? Well I might be able to help you. I actually just finished a write up on enabling group messaging on stock UVMC6. Here is the link. Let me know if you find this helpful. The stock messaging app has been modified by T-Mobile to allow MMS to be sent via wifi-calling...since wifi-calling is so baked into the ROM I really don't think 3rd party messaging apps will be able to send mms via wifi-calling.
In Google Hangouts, my SMS works fine and I can send MMS without issues. However, I cannot download any MMS messages I receive. I only get an error. I checked my APN settings in Hangouts, and it's set to the correct settings. There's no APN settings in Android Settings that I can find on the G3 (?). I don't have this issue with any other texting apps.... does anyone know how to fix it with Hangouts?
Do you have WiFi calling enabled? I have issues sending messages when it's on.

No, Wifi Calling is disabled.
While on WiFi, I can't get group messages to appear. It will show as unloaded until I disconnect from WiFi.
I know this is an issue with a number of stock RIMs and wanted to know if anyone had a workaround.
Are you talking about while connected to wifi calling? If so unfortunately you have to use the default messenger app that came with the phone. Hangouts ect will not work for mms while on wifi calling
