Wifi texting

Ok I will be going to a place where no company gets signal, meaning I can't roam, but I will still have Wifi so I'm wondering what, if I can, do i have to do in order to get Wifi texting? I will and am running CM10 M2.
Thanks

Best thing I would do is use a free text service like text free since it uses data only.

Use Google voice with your current number. You should be able to text. But no mms

Any special way I have to set that up?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Nothing special just select to use your current number. I would sign up using a pc though. Far more options and easier to navigate. And then download the app and sign in with your login. G voice is an great service I don't know why more people don't use it

That one costs $2.99/month for the service. The regular Zipwhip app works, and it's free to use.

Personally I would just use google voice. Just download > link it to your sprint number > done. Only thing is google voice can't receive mms messages, like pictures / video. But you can still text and get voice mail, and no additional cost.

You actually can receive mms messages. You just have to set up Google Voice to where you want to receive messages with your email as well.
If someone says they sent you a picture and you don't see it using Google Voice, just check your gmail. and go through the conversation and you should see an attachment.

Are you running stock? Any mods?
Check the imei number, make sure its not zero.
Also, where did you get the phone?
When did you upgrade your plan? Maybe its an account issue and you either need to wait a while or call the carrier and reset the account.

Where to go

Let's say you had a note 2... unlocked. But wanted to leave contract companies and wanted a month to month plan... Where would you go?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

To the bank.. For money to cancel my family plan. Lolz. So expensive.
For me, straight talk and Net10(?) are the only prepaid plans that works here.
T-mob doesn't work here.. But if it did, I'd be on it. So cheap.
I'd either go for straight talk (if I wasn't to worried about customer service & speed)
Or go with an ATT go phone plan.

Im in Orlando so my options should be open. ..I am going to leave my contract with att...
So straight talk. .. simple. .. or net 10...

If yours all cool with T-Mobile, they have a web exclusive offer for $30 a month. Its got unlimited texting, 5 gigs of web, and 100 minutes. And if yours worried about going over, you could always use GrooveIP or any of the other many VOIP apps.

How would Google voice work with that. ..Would making calls with Google voice go towards my minutes?

Straight talk is 45 bucks unlimited everything. And if you leave off the proxy they won't throttle you either.

Actual thats incorrect, Google Voice does use your minutes. If you want to use the $30 plan and the Google Voice number for unlimited minutes then you will have to use a VOIP program such as Groove IP or Spare Phone. Both of them require data (WiFi or cell data) for calls to come in or out.
GrooveIP - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ndm9pcCJd
GrooveIP has a free trial app too.
Spare Phone - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ndWlkb2xvZ3kuc3BhcmVwaG9uZSJd

I called net 10 and they told me they only have 3g...
Is the any prepaid with 4g or lte that will work

Wifi calling

Whats the benefit

Thank you. You made my life complete.

The Google search turns up a lot of old and incorrect info. Basically tmobile's wifi calling will allow your phone to work in conditions where there is good wifi signal available but otherwise poor/reduced/no voice signal.
It will count against your voice minutes.
Calls can be made and received in the usual way, it is transparent to you and to the calling party.
Appears to require a tmobile sim, no straight Talk, go smart, etc.

Correct, except on most plans Wi-Fi minutes do NOT come out of your bucket.

Are you on the original tmobile rom? Are you rooted? I would appreciate your help. I have purchased foxfi/pdanet and I still get a tmobile tether message... I'm also rooted and froze tethering manager.

I was under the impression that plans have 500MB free but once you go over that amount T-Mobile will start charging you... Like $10 per GB.

Im pretty sure they cut it off if you go over, but tether usage doesn't show any tether being used, I have jedi master 12, I always use Google Chrome on my laptop.

Don't mean squat. I have used over 12.1 mb and can't teather on my plan, yet shows on my account page.
It's obvious a glitch as their myaccount app sucks arse!
Tried connecting and won't let me, unless I change my plan.

Has anyone here come across a non user agent method of tethering yet? If its come up i apologize, just be real is it possible on the tmobile truly unlimited plan ??!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Pmium HD app

I would just like to chime in here. I'm on the $60 month to month plan with 2gb of data at 4g speeds. Right before i just paid for my minutes were to be reloaded this month, i got a text saying that the $60 plan would go from 2gb's of data to 2.5gb's of data. Also the stock hotspot app would also work. So after i refilled my account on Friday, i was messing with the hotspot app and sure enough the native hotspot app is working like a charm. Has anyone else notice the upgrade? I'm guessing that there is no longer a need to use 3rd party tethering apps. I could be wrong though.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium HD app

So op, how are you able to tether on the Unlimited everything plan? From what you said, I am assuming you are using Tmobile tether (not root) and they dont seem to offer any tethering on their unlimited (data) plan - ??
