Will unlocked phones work with T-Mobile Wifi calling ?
If I purchase an unlocked phone, for example an S22 Ultra unlocked version, will I be able to make Wifi calls on T-Mobile ? This is assuming I use a T-Mobile SIM with it, or eSIM, of course. The reason I ask is that I have no reliable cell coverage at home. Neither 3G/4G/5G offer reliable signals in all places in my home from any operator. A T-mobile cellspot in-home LTE tower also does not cover my entire home. The only thing that works reliably is Wifi calls, using a combination of 5 wireless access points. My current phone is a T-mobile version (Note 20 Ultra) and works with Wifi calls. I need my next phone to continue to work with Wifi calls. Some unlocked phones are available for significantly less than the T-mobile versions, for example the S22 Ultra version sold by Google on Fi is $700 vs $1200 on t-mobile.com . But will it work with T-mobile Wifi calling ?
5G coverage is Trash in Austin, Texas
Hey ya'll I'm in south austin, texas and have noticed, in the last several days, that my service has been sh!t when on 5G. I cannot load anything, pull up anything, etc while on 5G or LTE. I have to be on wifi which is F'ing me up. I cant go out and check work stuff. It also will not let me download images. Soooo annoying. Already talked to Support too many times and no dice. Im about to go to the store and see what they can do becuse this is really messing me up, work wise that is. I have a brand new S22 Ultra, 2 months old. Anyone else notice this lately or something similar to?S22 Ultra & Wifi Calling Doesn't Work Correctly
I was using an S21+ on T-Mobile using Wi-Fi calling preferred for over a year very successfully. I purchased an S22 Ultra and turned on Wi-Fi preferred. Here is what I've experienced. In about 65% of my calls the first 5 seconds to a minute are VERY, V--E---R---Y S---L---O--W. Speech is slowed down very significantly and shifted dramatically to the base side. This makes interacting with commercial phone response systems difficult to impossible. This happens even calling T-Mobile 611/customer service. After this first period wi-fil calling seems to settle down and work correctly. IF you can get past the problem portion of the call. Again, this problem NEVER happened with the S21. I don't know if this is a Samsung issue or a T-Mobile issue. If this happens to you please report it and request a trouble ticket number. If enough people report it maybe the problem will be corrected.
