Re: No voice service: Temporarily turned off by your carrier
TMO's claim to fame was you could bring your existing phone to their network. I prefer to own my phone and not use contracts. What people are saying here is that wifi calling works part of the time. I just think TMO's software is not that good or can't handle the load. Many also report they are in "dead areas" where OTA works part of the time so they use wifi calling. Do you understand what I mean by contention?12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: No voice service: Temporarily turned off by your carrier
Of course I'm using wifi calling. Many buildings, homes and apartments have foil lined insulation. Effectively we live in Faraday cages which makes it hard for the cellular signal to come through. That's why carriers make wifi calling available. The problem may be contention between carrier signal and wifi and the software needs to turn off the SIM card to avoid that. Apparently it's buggy at the moment but it seems to happen far less with the older phone which uses the 5 Ghz band but that phone is for the old landline number which gets very limited calls.12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: No voice service: Temporarily turned off by your carrier
I have the same problem with a Motorola phone. Question though: are your Motorola phones "international"? That's what mine is and it only has the 2.4 GHz wifi band. My other Motorola phone that doesn't have this problem, an older G4 has both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and uses the latter.12Visto0likes0Comentarios
