WIFI Calling Preferences Being Forced to Cellular Preferred
I am experiencing my WIFI Calling Preferences always being forced to "cellular preferred", as are others. I live in an area with poor T-mobile mobile data signal and this recent behavior makes my phone unable to make and receive calls and text messages. I believe the problem only started happening after the next to last T-Mobile software update. Everything was fine for my first 5 months of ownership. A Google search shows posts of other users experiencing the same issue, but no options other than a tedious workaround of manually switching the phone to Airplane mode and changing the WIFI calling preferences back to "WIFI preferred". I have to do this kind of process each time I enter and leave my home, and sometimes have to reboot my phone as well. The times I've forgotten, I've missed package deliveries and went to a doctor appointment when the doctor had left a message that he was out sick. This appears to be a carrier specific issue as far as I can see. I even tried replacing my rock solid Netgear R6400 router with an ASUS AX3000 router with no resulting changes. I'm in a small apartment only 10 feet from the router, with a very strong WIFI signal. I have two Samsung Galaxy S20 phones (March 2020) which both exhibit the exact same behavior. I spoke with T-Mobile Tech support which appeared to be clueless about this issue other than to send me two new S20 phones under warranty to my T-Mobile store. I do not have high confidence in this approach but will try the new phones and report back. Does anyone know anything more? I am not aware of T-Mobile publicly acknowledging this issue.
Home Internet & Wifi calling
just set up new Tmobile home internet in a rural area-all carriers are iffy here but the Tmobile speed and connection are ok at home (not so much in some communities near me). That is the issue-I have my cell service on Verizon (best coverage all communities) and it will not connect a wifi calling attempt. All other cell services work flawlessly and if I use a different sip the wifi calling works on the phone. I have tried a different router (actually 3 of them as well as mesh system all with the same results-internet traffic is good and no wifi calling) I would like to resolve this and continue with Tmobile but without wifi calling its not helpful-any suggestions?
How do I turn off International calling entirely on my T-Mobile phone line?
Me or one of my family members accidentally dial a international number directly from contacts which doesn't go through WhatsApp or Hangouts and unknowingly goes through T-Mobile. I want to entirely shut off the option to dial International numbers from cellular line. ¿Cómo lo hago?
International Wifi Calls
I am trying to understand this. i was on an international call for over 3 hours. I thought since it was a WiFi call I would not get charged expensive international rates. After my call, I received a text that my call cost me $636.00.. That's $3 a minute charge. I think that is kind of outrageous for a WiFi call. Is this standard in the industry? I just want to understand this practice. if they call me do I getcharged the same or is it free because I am the one who answered the call? Help me understand how this all works to see if I need to pursue other avenues to communicate with friends abroad I have made over the years. Thank you for your time.
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.
