Re: Texting issues when connected to WiFi
So turns out the SIM not provisioned was for a different SIM card (the person I bought the phone from left their old SIM in one of the slots). I took that out and I didn't get that notification anymore with just my active SIM. I think I've figured out what the issue is: I'm reading that in order for SMS/MMS to function properly over Wifi, Wifi calling must be active. When I active Wifi calling while I have cell service/mobile data, a smooth transition occurs and I am able to use SMS/MMS over Wifi. Now, what ends up happening is my Wifi calling will randomly become disabled (often accompanied with a "Error: Wifi calling cannot be set up... something, something missing 911 address"). Whenever this happens is when I notice my SMS/MMS over Wifi stops working (and I'll notice Messages for Web will say "Not connected to phone"). I'll still be connected to the Wifi so apps like Chrome, Gmail, Outlook, etc still work but SMS/MMS won't work until that Wifi calling is reset... somehow. Usually I reset it by switching airplane mode on and off and allowing that initial connection to happen again but when I'm in an area (like my work/lab) that doesn't have cell service, I cannot do this little trick. Either way, I'm not sure what's causing the Wifi calling to randomly become disabled but I believe that is the heart of the problem because I noticed it this morning at my house and now at work. Maybe it's a bug? Anywho, can anyone else confirm this issue and if I explained it properly? Maybe T-Mobile can address this (I'm guessing it's a T-Mobile thing since this has occurred for me while using an unlocked Samsung S7 and now an unlocked OnePlus 6). Atentamente5Visto1like0Comentarios
