Hi All,
I need to be able to have to incoming lines on one phone (if possible)
I'm fine making all calls on one line but is it possible to receive calls and txts on 2 sims simultaniusly without having to tell the phone to switch?

no can do.
the best you're going to get is to either get a new generation dual sim thing which has built in software to swap the active sim every x minutes.
or
set up call forwarding on one sim to forward to the other. then you'll get the txts etc as soon as the auto change takes place in a few mins
Thanks I'll see if T-Mobile still offer a priority line.
Back in the days when they were one2one I had a great package with two incoming phone numbers one the one line so you could forward all calls strait to vm effectively turning the phone of in a restaurant while still getting calls from the sitter or office etc...
Didn't see the point then but could really make use of it now lmao
hehe one2one.. i remember them.. my first mobile contract was with them.. over 10 years ago. ouch.
You might want to take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273387&highlight=dual+sim
before you get a duals sim adaptor, should you decide to take this approach.
Maybe read the thread from back to front, though.
As has been pointed out before, there is no option available to be reachable on thwo sims at the same time.
Bye,
Chris
The other option might be Internet calling with the new WM6..
Not sure what you need the other number for.. and there are a lot of limitations with this.. but it might do what you want..
Nice Avatar btw.. Can't wait for the new season.. only one more day!!
Thanks Guy's, I'm wating to see if T-Mobile can sort this for me at the moment as this is the only practical solution.
I serve two masters!
As I am self employed all my clients/suppliers have my current number, however, I now also work full time in a school but their number is witheld. I often get calls from suppliers when I'm at work (numbers also witheld). It would be much more convenient to divert all calls to this number directly to voice mail and then give the school my 'priority number' as this is the best way for them to contact me accross the large campus. But I refuse to carry and pay for two phones, if they don't like me answering the phone at work tough!
How come you get the new series in the states on the same day as us when we have to wait for all your cool new programs?

The T-Mobile USA version of the Touch Pro 2 is limited to only adding 2 people to a conference room for a conference call. The unlocked version seems to support many more than that. I'm pretty sure this is not a limitation of the T-Mobile network since in 2002 I was able to conference 6 people using the GSM/GPRS Expansion Pack on an iPAQ H3600.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a registry hack to allow more than 2 people in a conference room on the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2?
Alright, I think I found it.
In: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE
there's "MaxConferenceSize"
By default it's set to 2, but I just changed it to 6. I can't really test it right now, but after soft resetting, I can select plenty more than 2 people for a conference call.
You hacker! I'm jealous, I want the touchpro2. Thanks for the info, it might come in handy when I eventually get it.
To me, it doesn't matter either way. I was disappointed with the conference room feature. Of course, I was expecting for it to automatically call ALL participants and connect them at the same time, but still, any improvement on having to say, "hold on, I need to look up this contact, call them, and then join them on" is good.
great job adamz!
totally works and tested. i set it to 6... fyi, 6 means 5 additional people (you are the 6th)
i kinda wanna set it to 10! heh.

Unfortunately GSM and UMTS weren't designed to work like that. No phone can do that.
i am a noob "is there a how to" so i can change it also
I can add conference members but it wont dial out to them. Has someone actually been able to SPEAK to more than 2 people at a time?
tmobile doesnt allow more people. att recently increased their conference calling size to match the touch pro 2's conference feature. its funny cause the iphone still cant do it.

What is the TP2's conference feature limits? What did ATT raise it to?
i know i used to be able to talk to 6 people at once on T-Mobile about ... 6 years ago... when did they change it ? All this time i thought it was my phone that didn't allow more and was finally happy there is a solution . Guess not
tmobile im pretty sure is only you and 2 other people. att used to be that (its what the iphone supports) and they recently changed it (i think just before the tilt2 launch) to you and 5 other people. which is the max for the touch pro 2.
Conference call feature locked to 2 people on tmobile's network!!!

just to give an update on this topic.......... i tried to conduct a conference call on tmobile and i did perform this edit to my phone and did a soft reset. but i was unable to peform more than adding two people. i tried to add a third and phone just blanked out and went back to waiting for me to add another person into the conference. so i called tmobile and asked them if i might have done something wrong in my editing (so i didnt spend the rest of my night picking my registry apart) or if tmobile is **** blocking me.
Well turns out that tmobile wont let us add more than two people into a conference call with our wonderful, illustrious, conference call, flagship phone then the lady went on to say that i can unlock my phone and use it on another carrier some time in the future if i ever change carriers.... HELLO?!!! you working for the other team or WHAT?!?!?! SHE MUST HAVE BEEN HIRED FROM AT&T
Great. So T-Mobile first makes the beautiful stock TP2 fugly, leaves off the 3.5mm headphone jack, then locks down conference calling--one of the phone's best features. Thanks a lot guys.
I guess I shouldn't be too upset with my grandfathered t-zones plan but still...

hey, I like the T-Mobile TP2 design.
Registry hack doesn't defeat network limit. Oh well.
The two person add (3 people total) for conference calling as a T-Mobile network limit shouldn't be a surprise.
Look at the description of conference calling feature for any T-Mo phone that has it and it specifically says "add 2 people" (or similar). I don't know how long it's been like this...but at least a couple of years, maybe more.
So, yeah, it's the network -- and nothing done to tweak the phone will change that.
So I'll be deploying to Afghanistan soon and I'm wondering if I put my T-Mobile account on hold for the duration, I can just use the WiFi that is on base and use apps like Skype to call home. Any military members have any experience with that? So, I guess what I'm asking is, What is the best way to fully utilize my Note 2 for internet access/calling home using WiFi on base? Do I need to purchase a SIM card or something? I'm not rooted but I have experience with rooting other devices and I'm willing to do so, but right now I have no reason to. Thanks!
Yeah Skype is your best bet depending on what fob you are going to be at. If you are at a big fob or base you will most likely have WiFi if not you might be screwed and have to use the mwr to make your phone calls. Another way is to buy a haji phone when you get there, the only thing is you will spend a crap ton of money on buying minutes. How this helps and good luck on your deployment!
Yes you can do as you suggested. I would recommend you install a few other apps too.
Tango - much like Skype
Google Voice - Good for texting when overseas with your USA phone number (get a Google number or port your number over to Google)
A low cost Voip calling app - for calling land and mobile numbers - I recommend WiCall as they only cost a penny a minute as of today to call any US phone number.
Install a few messaging app for good communication fun. Whatsapp, Line Naver,
iirc phone carriers are required to unlock your phone if you are moving to an area they don't offer service. Call T-Mobile and explain you're deploying with the military. They should probably unlock the device based on that alone. You can tell them you're putting your account on "hold" as well. When you get their buy a hajji(I know Afghans aren't Arabs, they're still hostiles) chip and put it in the phone. If hajji doesn't sell microSIMs you can just cut down a regular SIM card and slide it in. Use a real microSIM to mark where to cut or file the SIM card to.
Iraq had cell service where I was in 06-07 and again in 08. No internet though. Depending on what cities you're near, you might get 3G, Kabul for instance MAY have it. I dunno. Someone where you are going may have opted for satellite internet and be looking to unload their equipment when you arrive also. You can round up some people to split the cost if you want.
edit - The SIM card is gonna be more expensive obviously, you'll want to use that if you can't get wifi for any reason, a last resort if you will.

Would it possible to hack this device for phone calls?
Does it have the needed hardware/radio for traditional cellular calling (not voip or volte)?
A friend of mine told me that At&t will assign you a number with your SIM, would they try to roadblock you from using it to make calls?
Just wondering if anyone else is interested in attempting this.
mine is hk lte version and it supports phone call out of the box. So isn't at&t's?

I keep asking the same questions, I know when Samsung announced the Note 8.0s they promised ATT customers a converged phone and Tablet, the "Phablet" as they so mwere marketing it, then I think when ATT and Samsung saw how much they were going to lose in revenue from people doing away with redundant "iDevices" they paniced and screwed over the customers and removed the dialer from the firmware.

I'm sure someone here could make it work as far as the device goes, but At&t holds the power in the end. Their model doesn't come with a phone plan, just a data plan. This is likely where it would fail.
could you edit your post title and specify the model number since there is multiple LTE version of the Note 8 please.
hi ,
i dont own one , yet , but my other galaxy devices i have google voice installed and then talkatone setup and it can make and recieve calls via google voice number , its voip but it works over data and wifi , so you can use your google voice number just like a normal cell number ,
check it out , i know its not the exact solution you were looking for but it does work , i cut my bill in half over 65$ taken off by lowering my minuets , forwarding all incoming calls to my google voice, and taking off text messages , you still need minuets though , the forwarding costs 1 min per call and someones ALWAYS gonna call your previous number until you get everything moved to GV
Hi
Just upgraded from a Note 8 4G to a Galaxy S 10.5 LTE ( might I add this is the Octa-Core version and not a 2.3 Quadcore )
Anyway...my number has been transferred to the new sim as mine was a bit butchered when I used it in a micro sim slot and I get Data SMS and no Calls as of yet....there may be a longer delay in getting voice calls from and too this device but thought I would ask if anyone knows if this is blocked on purpose.
It has to be thee best screen ive ever seen plus 8 cores and 3 gig ram....fantastic spec!!! but I need it to make calls or it has to go back
Can anyone shed any light on this
if my SMS has been enabled does this mean Voice calls should have been, my tarrif specifies 0 minutes but surely I could clock up a small bill each month if i needed to make some calls..even the guys in the o2 shop said it will make calls??
Please help as i am loving this tablet!!!
Thanks
Lee
This must have something to do with your carrier. I have a Tab S 10.5 LTE (in Australia) and it makes calls perfectly. Take it in to O2 and ask them why it's not working.
I'm also on O2 with the same issue.
From what someone told me in another thread. It's down to the tariff, not the Tablet. O2 just haven't enabled calls for the sim.

Mines going back tomorow...they told me in shop it would make calls....
Also what o2 do is split your bill so an amount pays for your device and the other amount pays for your tarrif....if they cant change this its going back
gutted!!
Calling, MMS, and data use require the tablet to be registered on a smartphone plan; at least here in the U.S. Cheaper "tablet" plans only support data.
You could always contact them in the morning and get calls enabled.
You won't get no voice calls on o2 tablet contracts. Text and Internet only.
How are those with the LTE version able to make and receive phone calls in a "standalone" like version. Sprint agent claims that is impossible with this watch, but yet charges an arm and a leg to send "texts and receive data" WTH is that?

I found out just yesterday that Sprint doesn't support the ability to receive calls and text to the watch while away from your phone. Im a bit confused as to why they would 1) Sell me thw watch when that feature was the ONLY reason I was interested in purchasing this thing and 2) then sell me a service plan for a feature they dont even support. Extremely upsetting. The standalone feature does allow me to listen to music to Spotify using only the watch but not sure that alone is worth an extra monthly cost.
I'll be cancelling the service and sticking to my Garmin for fitness tracker and maybe using the Samsung as a daily watch.

I can make and receive calls and send texts in "standalone" mode on the lte version in the uk. When you buy the phone through your operator EE (has to be in uk) you gey unlimited calls/text and data on the phone

if the lte version of the watch is properly activated on the carriers side then calls can be done when phone is off. texts and emails dont work.
if phone is on AND connected remotely, then texts and emails work.
this is a carrier gimmick to force you to have 2 plans. because everything would work with just the watch. if you can brows the internet in standalone mode then emails should work aswell. if you can make and receive phone calls then texts should also work in stand alone mode as well. just an other proof on how greedy carriers are.
also never listen to what they say. 60% of the time they give you false information and miss guide clients.

but i mean if you only have a watch and think of using it standalone LTE, you cant do anything. you need a phone on the same provider to activate the line on the watch. plus if no phone, no texts and emails....
I don't believe that to be true with this plan. With their "Digits" plan, yes, but this one no. I have heard that you can get it activated in the store using the reps phone, then it works just fine. I will try to verify it this weekend and report back.

so lets say u reset your watch by mistake and the rep got fired or is on vacation, u have a brick on your wrist? ( not to mention ull get their calls and texts and emails)
of course u can probably still use bluetooth but ull never get that number/line reactivated. im pretty sure they made the watch and phone be an obligatory tether with the carrier if u want to use LTE. its evil.
No the watch just needs to get the TMo settings, then works independently. If you have a TMo phone you can do it yourself.

yeah of course if you have both services on your account. but was just putting out there if you just buy a galaxy watch LTE and want to use it stand alone, ure screwed.
I don't know what you guys are talking about with tmo, I just got the the Galaxy Watch (R805U) from them and with or with out the phone, it acts the same. Can email, call, text, browse and such.
The way it works is the watch has a sim card (Called a esim. They function the exact same as normal sim card except it's a chip instead of a card.) It provides the LTE functions of the phone. Next it gets a Paired Digits number so it links both the devices numbers together so when one rings, they both ring even though they have their own number.
From the tmo website
All your existing T-Mobile numbers are now DIGITS lines. You can use them for free on any compatible internet-connected device via the DIGITS app or on phones with the DIGITS functionality built in.

Yes, that's for T-Mobile. My watch is on Sprint and paying $15 to receive only stand-alone texts is outrageous. They continue to say that the watch needs a software update that provides VoLTE, but nobody seems to know when that will, IF EVER, happen.
stand alone activation
can the standalone feature be activated by a non-samsung phone? I currently purchased the watch and is activated by the carrier aswell (vodafone numbersync) but the app is telling me that my phone is not compatible with the watch.
I'm using mate 20 pro btw.
