WiFi Calling - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Forgive me if this has been addressed before, but if an unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus is used on T-Mobile, does it work with wifi calling?

No.

No. It'd require some serious hackery and even then it really isn't plausible. It requires RILs that are made to integrate WiFi calling.

GrooveIp + Google voice = free voip wifi calling for me

SIP / Wifi Calling for ICS

Hi All--
I have configured SIP calling through pbexes.org using the native implementation in ICS
However, I'm running into a little trouble, and was hoping for some help:
Anyone know how to DISABLE sip calling while on 3g, and only have it active on Wifi?
Also, I can only seem to get it to make 'internet calls' (sip) when I have DISABLED calling from google voice. weirdness.
Mine its setup to ask how I would like to make the call, via cellular service or voip.

Wifi calling for CM10

Looking to enable wifi calling for CM10. It is obviously there in the default Tmobile stock.
Not possible for CM10 and developers will probably never build it in since most phones/providers don't support wifi calling. Also, unlike phones like my old HTC G2 where wifi calling is a separate app, the SGS2 implements a new version of wifi calling that is built into the ROM.
Bottom line, if you need or want wifi calling, you need to be on a TW ROM, no if's or but's about it.

Thanks for the info!
Actually, these guys are really misleading you. It's not that it can't or won't be done, it just hasn't been done yet.
There was even a version of T-Mobile WiFi calling that worked great on the HTC HD2 which wasn't even an Android phone, so it's completely false to say "Not possible for CM10", it just hasn't been done yet. They may be correct that it will never be built in, but someone will eventually make a derivative ROM that will have it, or you will have a flashable zip for it.
You can also use voip.

Groove-IP works pretty good
I've seen a lot of people suggesting that we use our Google Voice (GV) number instead of WiFi calling.
If I use GV, and assuming I set it up properly....
When people call my cell number, does it ring when I only have wifi and no cell service?
When I make calls out on WiFi only, so people see my cell number or my GV number?
In what ways is it different than use T-Mobile WiFi calling?

You can forward you cell number to your google voice number, when you want wifi calling. I have mine set up to start at 6pm till 8am when I'm home. Works perfectly. I use grooveIP free, with a strong wifi signal, calls are very clear.

I would be VERY VERY hesitant to flash something made for a different phone, much less different manufacturer. How about you try it and let us know. With screenshots of course.

I agree, rarely have problems with Groove-IP and Google Voice..

can someone explain to me why wifi calling is cool?
WiFi calling is "cool" or useful because it allows for using WiFi as cell phone signal. I've worked in buildings which had no cell phone signal, and without WiFi calling, it would take hours for a text message to find the signal to creep through, so it was very useful.
I've tried GrooveIP and GVoice and they were way too buggy to rely on.

And to add to this...some of us use our voice in certain areas mostly (like home) and Wi-Fi calling allows us to get a low minute plan since Wi-Fi calling doesn't use minutes.

Actually it can or does use your minutes... I know sounds foolish huh. I've seen some discussions on this in a few different places/sites and I still don't have a 100% clear answer. On the TMOUSA site regarding wifi calling, towards the bottom in grey txt it says:
"Capable device and Wi-Fi connection required. Wi-Fi Calling may decrement plan minutes. Except for UMA devices, device will not transition between Wi-Fi and the wireless network."
I think it's a case of if you're using it excessively they would start to deduct it kind of thing, but who knows. It's probably so they can change their minds in the future without any hassle, for instance, if people are using the heck out of it and they are losing as a result.
By default, it will use your minutes but now they have a free WiFi calling feature that you can add which makes calls made over WiFi free + unlimited, at least that's how it was last time I knew.
I would also really love to see the feature added to cm10 someday... It used to come with cm7 when I used it on my G2.

Enhanced Wifi Calling vs. Personal Cell Spot

What's better? A galaxyS4 w/ Enhanced WiFi Calling or w/o WiFi calling and Personal Cell Spot?
I've read the Enhanced WiFi calling solves the network handoff problem between VoLTE & VoIP/SIP-based WiFi calling over myhome network.
From what I understand, the Personal Cell Spot is essentially a router with the same enhanced WiFi calling SW, but has a low power LTE signal so the phone doesn't need to have or use WiFi calling? Because of this, it seems to also handle the network hand off problem.
So, if I have a Galaxy S4 that is updated to NH7 with Enhanced WiFi calling, do I go with that, or do I get a free personal cell spot and get 5bars in my home?
If they're about the same, any other pro & cons? LTE is more power hungry than WiFi right? But you'd be offloading some VoIP/SIP stuff to the personal cell spot too?
Thoughts? I'm looking for a technical discussion. Thanks.
Ping?

WiFi calling

With t-mobile saying that all their phones are going to be WiFi calling capable, what is the chance of finally getting WiFi calling to work on aosp or cm in near future. Hoping @DocHoliday77 had an educated answer as always.

Are you referring to Tmobile's Wifi calling or to the Google Voice Hangouts Dialer?
I'm curious to know if anyone has ported their Tmobile number to Google Voice and successfully replaced wifi calling with hangouts voice calling.

Wifi calling on the 7X?

I searched around and got conflicting results. Does the 7X have WIFI calling? VoIP as well?

If you are referring to T-Mobile's wifi calling, then no, it doesn't have that. You can use a 3rd party wifi calling app (Google Voice, Hangouts, Skype, Duo, etc).

I'm on AT&T--- it appears as if it's calling on WIFI as when I'm connected to a WIFI network it shows the connection but no mention of cell service...I place the call and still does not show the cell connection (4G/LTE).
However, I do not believe calls without WIFI are VoLTE....if I call off the cell network it switches from 4G LTE to 4G only....However, it sounds super clear though.

Maybe it has native Wifi calling on AT&T but I have T-Mobile and it does not support their native wifi calling feature. My wife has a Moto G5 Plus and it DOES support Wifi calling on T-Mobile, even though it's an unlocked, non-T-Mobile specific phone.
And it does have VoLTE on T-Mobile as well (at least the BND-L24 model does).
