The SIM card that comes with the GSII and the Amaze are just the new version of the T-Mobile SIM cards. They are not specific to those phones. The new WiFi calling system needs the new style SIM cards to work. All new T-Mobile phones will be shipping with new style SIM cards and if you go into a T-Mobile store and ask for a new SIM card that is the one you will get.

I work in the bottom floor of a building where I don't get reception. With all my other T-Mobile phones I have been able to use the wifi calling feature and receive calls and text messages. It's very important.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jester450:
Much better than the wifi calling that's usually included. Had it both on the MT4G. Used GrooveIP more. The only bad thing is that you don't get calls to your tmo number.

I'm just strolling through.

Wifi calling originally used minutes but they had a package that you could add on your plan to let you use it free. I specifically called and had them add that feature on my plan......

So what happens when they switch to the new one and want to charge.... I just say I have it free.... screw that

I use wifi calling at work quite often and I don't typically use all my minutes, I do enjoy peace of mind that it is free. It is a feature I specifically requested and they shouldn't be able to just take it away.

Hope to god the Nexus Prime doesn't disappoint. If its awesome and available on Verizon, I'll let my work pick it up and get rid of my personal tmo account.

Wifi calling on its way

I just got word from my Tmo carrier rep that wifi calling will be enabled Nov13th. You guys excited??

"on November 13th, Tmobile will be introducing a new form of wifi calling on supported handsets, to include the HTC amaze and Samsung galaxy s2. To enable this technology a new gba Sim that will support this feature is supplied with the handsets...

... If the gba Sims are not activated with these devices, wifi calling will not work after November 12th."

Thought yall would be interested.

Note: to the mod who moved this, thank you. Was having an issue with my app and couldn't find this one so I posted as a new thread. Sorry about that.

when the update does get pushed OTA will rooted/ROMd phones have to wait for the ROM provider to include it in an upgrade or will we get the update regardless of root/rom status?

WiFi Calling as per T-Mobile

Ok, I JUST got off the phone with T-Mobile. They confirmed that there will be NO UPDATE for WiFi Calling. Instead, all you need aparently is the new SIM card which on the back of it has TM9177. If you have that SIM then all you need to do is call customer care and tell them to add the wifi calling feature to your phone. If you do not have that SIM then go in to your local T-Mo store and get one!

In my head this makes ZERO sense though. I can't see how this would work. But Customer Loyalty and a T-Mobile store rep told me that this is indeed how it is working from now on. I am attempting to test it now and I will update everyone when I know more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
although I don't really need wifi calling, I think it will come in handy for those that do not have good reception in their area (or any area with bad service).

I have the sim card stated TM9177 which is the sim card that came with the phone and I went to the tmobile store and told them to transfer my account to this new sim card.

I can test it out but the question is how do I do wifi calling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickm8384:
I really won't be able to test it well until I get home from work. I get decent service at work but HORRIBLE service at home. I wil be home around 7PM EST so I will update everyone then. As of right now it looks like it is working.

The only test I did so far was disabling packet data but I'm not sure if that has any effect on calls.

Also, you need to make sure that you CALL customer care and let them know that you want wifi calling added to your account. This is a necessary step.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
The Sim has little to do with wifi calling.its an apk and some lib files. And a few lines in the build.prop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
I thought a new option called "Wifi Calling" will be visible under Wifi settings as part of this "OTA"? You can enable that "Wifi Calling" option to use it.

If there is no OTA then how do you even enable wifi calling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickm8384:
That is of course what I thought. However according to T-Mobile and the T-Mobile they are no longer building APKs for wifi calling instead it will be SIM based. Don't ask me how this works but they claim it does. Again I will test it when I get home to my serviceless apartment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
ok everyone. I just got off the phone with a rep and this is what she told me:

1. Wifi calling is available for us only if you use the latest sim card that came with the phone.

2. Do I have to activate this feature, if yes, how? No need to activate it, as long as you have the new sim card, then you can make wifi calling. just make sure you disable data and connect to a wifi network.

3. Will I be using my minutes? NO...it's unlimited and it will NOT be counted towards your minutes!!! I was very surprised to hear this!!!

I can't try it now since I'm at work, but for those that can, give it a try (of course you won't know about the minutes thing until you get your statement).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickm8384:
I was told similar as I stated above. However, I was not told that I needed to disable data (seems stupid and annoying since I want to be able to seemlessly switch to data when I get back in range. I was also told that it WILL use plan minutes unless I am on an unlimited plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] safeplayer22:
^^^

that's what she told me (Lisa)...lol

I am very surprised at that too...based on my prior knowledge, it would be counted towards our minutes. I think the best way to test this is to call a number that you rarely call and mark down the time and date you made the call and when the statement comes in, go look for it to see if they charged you minutes or not.

these tmobile reps are so unreliable...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
You don't even need to turn some kind of an option "wifi calling" on to be able to make wifi calls? Just connect to any wifi and make calls and it will automatically route the call through wifi? That's extremely doubtful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
Can anyone confirm that this applies to your minutes being used up now. I thought wifi calling starting back in May did not count towards the minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rickm8384:
I will actually be leaving work in around 10 minutes and will be home around an hour from then. I WILL test the feature when I get home as I have ZERO bars in my home.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I'm sorry, but do you guys actually believe this. When I got the php. There were statements saying there would be a specific update to install wifi calling app and any additional bug fixes on Nov. 13. If the calling feature aS already there, why say that it would be in an update to begin with. ? Think about it? Or am I crazy?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheSeanTeam:
Unless I'm mistaken, the OTA update has not been released yet. Until that update is released, there's no official T-Mobile WiFi calling feature for the Samsung Galaxy S2 whether you have the new SIM or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heinrich:
There was only an OTA update this weekend on my handset for "my account". <edit> I stupidly thought UMA was working but sorry Guys no it does not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lagar:
I don't think calls go over cell data. Try disabling data and wifi. If the call still goes thru, there is no wifi calling yet.

Ok just got off the phone with a T-Mo rep. He said that the GS2 is the guinea pig for their new wifi calling service. You have to call them to get it activated (it's free) and it does not work like the old wifi calling used to. There is no app, but when it detects you are on a wifi network, it automatically routes your calls through it even with no T-Mo signal. Unlike the previous wifi calling app that would disconnect if the wifi was weak or distant, this will use any wifi strength to make calls/texts, again, a huge plus.

I haven't confirmed any of this, but that is what he told me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :

The update is suppose to start rolling out as of yesterday..

It will not be an "apk" but update to the build that enables wifi calling in wireless settings.

If u get the proper feature added wifi calling is FREE (even while roaming internationally). Does not use minutes as long as u have proper features. Also, there will be no wifi calling to GSM handoff

Again there is no apk.. but similar to uma, with IMS wifi calling and a Gba sim card, once connected to wifi with wifi calling enabled in settings you will make wifi calls.

They should have learned from the whole vibrant and other things they say.

same here. now i'm being told that "everything is ready on TMO's end. It's SAMSUNG who we are waiting for to activate the wifi calling in the software".

Wow this reminds me of the Galaxy S 4G gingerbread update which made me switch to the G2x because that update was forever delayed. And then we ALL should know the issues with the G2x. And now The GS2 I'm stuck waiting for yet ANOTHER update.

According to my rep, who is also a good friend, T-Mobile just updated their "system" over the weekend so they've been busy with that instead of getting WiFi calling to us when they originally said it was coming (Yes, there was an official T-Mobile tweet saying it was coming on the 13th, but it was apparently deleted). We should be getting it this week or next. He doesn't know how exactly we'll be getting the update.

1) You need the new GBA SIM to support the new WiFi calling when the update comes out.

2) The only thing added to your account is the SOC for Free Unlimited WiFi Calling that should have been added at purchase (this does not use your minutes, you must be on a postpaid rate plan to get this service. wifi calling works without this service code added but will use your plan minutes)

3) I do not know where the update is there was no communication that I saw that it was delayed but I could be wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heinrich:
The call I made with Wifi enabled earlier, was.inberween 2 other calls on plain cell. It does not appear on my usage list at my.T-Mobile.com.

The call sounded notably laggy. I just did it again and I notice that even with wifi OFF, my calls are laggy. I wonder if this could mean that all calls are VoIP? What else could explain lag? I made my calls to someone sitting right next to me on a landline and also on an ATT iPhone.

---------- Post added at 03:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

I have no such service and nothing like it available to add. FYI it isn't a GMA SIM, its GBA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blktalon:
First, people are only complaining because there were a lot of people who were sold this phone with the implied update on november 13th. Its not an update but a feature that was "sold" to some.

Second, I have a cellular booster in my car. My house has no signal. A Femtocell is different from a booster(signal amp) in that it becomes a mini cell tower in your residence or business. They dont offer this. Check out sprint Airrave..that is what a Femtocell is.

It could be that T-mobile is ready and Samsung dropped the ball....kind of like the Vibrant update?????

Samsung has a habit of losing sight of a product once it is released, and i'm pretty sure the Nexus has all their attention at this point.

ONe thing to keep in mind is that even though you disable network data, you are still able to make calls cause theres a difference between data and regular voice calls. I'm thinking in order to test this, you'll need to go somewhere where there is not tmobile connections at all (data or voice) and just connect to wifi and try to make a call from there.

Unfortunately where I live and work, I get very good signals from tmobile so I can't try it out.
