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.
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.
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?
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?Does Wi-fi calling HAVE to be turned on for my phone to make calls to work?
My phone suddenly stopped making calls or receiving Texts. Then I chose to turn on WiFi calling and things began working. Should WiFi calling always be on? Is my phone needing to be serviced? I've tried understanding Troubleshooting. A suggestion to do a Master Reset. I can't figure out how to do that.
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 ?
WiFi Calling not working suddenly
We have two Apple Store iPhones, one a 12, one a 12 Mini. Both have LTE enabled and work with LTE/5G coverage when we are out and about. ISP is Spectrum; our connection typically speed tests at >300 Mbps down and 19-20 Mbps up. It's been rock-solid for other purposesall day, including steaming media. Phones use WiFi for other purposes without problems.We live on the island of Kauai, HI.Router is an ASUS RT-AC68U. All devices have most current non-beta system software. All have been rebooted in the process of troubleshooting this. T-Mobile plan is postpaid unlimited. WiFi Calling is essential for us since we have marginal to no wireless coverage at home. WiFi Calling on T-Mobile has worked reliablysince we switched to T-Mobile in the fall of 2020. Sometime recently, WiFi Calling has stopped working. Both devices show green wireless antenna, "No Service", greywireless antenna, "T-Mobile WiFi Calling", green wireless antenna, "No Service", [rinse and repeat on about a five second cycle]. The phones both installed a "T-Mobile Service Update" several weeks back; at that time, I noticed that my battery was not lasting nearly as long, and the largest consumer was "No Cell Coverage". (63% over the last ten days, none in last 24 hours.) I don't know when WiFi Calling stopped working; I did put on the latest iOS security update several days back. Any advice? Unreliable WiFi Calling (previously on Pixel/Verizon and Pixel/Google Fi) has been the bane of my wireless existence for several years now. I thought six months or so with T-Mobile with reliable WiFi Calling was a good sign. Now, not so much.
