Another solution Los?

I am getting tired of this 3g signal going out and I ha r restart phone to get signal back. Is there any way of using wifi for phone and txt.

Yes. Use Google Voice and Groove IP. Sprint lets you use voip service so you can use your own #.

ChompSMS can send text through Wifi

I moved two miles outside of Sprint's "coverage area", so when I'm home (as not to constantly roam), I bought an Obi110 and hooked it up through Google Voice. You can then hook up a regular house phone, and answer my cell calls through that. Still receive my texts and calls on my cell through wifi at home with Google Voice also.

This sounds like a good option for someone living on the edge of the network

sprint has a device that goes through your broadband internet and rebroadcasts cell signal

Which would do what, exactly, for this problem? The issue is the phone losing CELL signal. If the device rebroadcasts a CELL signal via the Internet, nothing will be improved. The OP was asking if they could make calls/send texts via Internet.
To the OP: Not unless you want to use a new phone number. If you don't mind a new number, then there are alternatives. Otherwise, no.

Sprint lets you use your own # for Google voice and groove IP works off your Google voice account to make wifi calls. I use it every day.

MMS through WIFI?

ok, so ive noticed that when on TW, you can send and recieve MMS on wifi (which is great for me because of not so good 3g speeds) but on CM9 you cant. Is there a way to make it work on CM9? or is this only for TW? OR just explain whats going on here, thanks.

As far as I know you need a phone signal for mms...if you want to use wifi u need to use something like Google voice for texting.

I am familiar with that app, but im talking about receiving/sending MMS from and to your number, in the stock app, handcent, or anything similar.

I have no problem sending and receiving mms on cm9 w/ wifi on. The phone still sends it via 3g, it just connects to the network real quick and then disconnects.

thats the problem, on TW it would use wifi, not 3g. its great for me because where i live, data speeds arent that great |not complaining|. now, id like to do that on CM9

Mms through wifi only works thru Samsung's stock messaging app. I know exactly what OP means. You can uncheck 3g and 4g and still mms go thru just on wifi. I wondered why at one point my epic stopped doing this so I played with some settings and figured out that handcent was the culprit. Once I stopped handcent from disabling the stock app mms over wifi worked again. So to OP the reason why it don't work on cm9 is bcuz stock messaging app is removed or if you're on stock then you probably have a third party SMS app with the disable stock setting on.
Edit: This also applies to 4g. With the stock app you can send thru 4g too. If you disable or remove it, sending thru 4g or wifi won't work and stick to 3g only.

Sending receiving mms over WiFi

Is there anyway to send receive mms over WiFi? I use go sms and i think the app only sends over cell. Wondering if it's the app or Rom. Any help would be great
sent from my sgs3 wicked v2 Rom oc/uv odexed

Tmobile only allows sms/mms to send over their network. Ive heard in the past that either mods or some 3rd party apps can accomplish sending over wifi, but im not sure.

Really? I did not know that. I dont use wifi calling and when its on it always seemed to give me problems with messaging. I'd just turn it off an move on so I coulda been easily missing something.
Still, good to know how its supposed to work! Thanks!

On my g2x it never worked over WiFi with Wi-Fi calling and go sms. Still looking for definitive answer. It's a feature that would really make my life easier

mms thru wifi and gosms dont mix. try handcent instead. works great, but you have to be on wifi calling for it to work

Makes me wonder if itd be possible to force it to activate wifi calling and send the message? Kind of like its supposed to do now with data. Gonna have to look into that.
Add it to my list!

I think Wi-Fi calling makes it work like mentioned above. But, at the same time, I know I had issues with doing it at one point with this phone.

Go SMS will send/receive mms when connected to Wi-Fi but not if you have Wi-Fi calling also on. Not sure there's a way around this. However the stock messaging app works on wifi even with Wi-Fi calling on. But even with the issue I still prefer to use go SMS pro over stock or handcent mainly due to it's iPhone mms group chat capabilities. Handscent seems to have a lot of issues with this feature.

Yeah thats annnoying as hell! Had that problem on my old mt3gs but tmobile fixed it pretty quick with an update. I thought it had been fixed but apparently theyve only fixed the bug where mms wouldnt send at all if wifi was active. Pretty sure there's a fix but I haven't found it yet.

Other solution
you could always use textplus instead. its an app that lets u send and recieve free texts and mms over a data network or wifi. it even gives u a number to match your area code. just a suggestion

Before the H2 update mms didn't really work over wifi calling. One of the first things I noticed when I got the phone. Since the H2 update dropped I haven't had any issues

Bone stock should be able to send/receive mms over wifi calling. If you are using a ROM I have no idea, you'll have to reach out to the developer of your ROM. If you have done the mods to enable group mms, you'll have to revert back to your stock SecMms.apk to send/receive via wifi calling then switch back to your modded SecMms.apk. Unless someone has made a fix but I haven't been able to find any yet.

Google Voice integration

Hey guys I was wondering what apps you use for Google Voice integration on your E4GT?
Last night I was bored and since my E4GT isn't activated on Sprint and I have a dumb Verizon phone I wanted to make calls with my E4GT.
I downloaded Groove IP Lite which seems to integrate Google Voice very well. I was able to call my Verizon number without any trouble.
Then I downloaded the Vonage Mobile app and during setup I used my Verizon number and it appears I am using that number to make free outgoing calls to US numbers. I don't receive many calls so I don't know if I'll receive them with the app. The sound quality is great since I'm using my Wi-Fi at home.

Groove IP is great.
Here is a app that intergrates GV SMS into the stock/go sms app's. There is a trial version available.

Looks good but the Google Voice app handles text messaging just fine. I'm more interested in calling.
My E4GT isn't activated and I want to be able to use it while I have a Wi-Fi connection.

Wifi Calling

I've been looking around and have not been able to find anything that works. I have the sprint note 2 and have been looking for the sprint note 3 wifi calling apk. I have found it for the mega and s4 mini but none work. I'm wondering if the note 3 will work, hopefully. I have tried other wifi calling apps that don't work that we'll or I miss calls. Thanks

Any word on an APK for this? I mean, I like GrooveIP, but it'd be nice to just be able to turn off the phone radio altogether when I'm at home and have my calls and text messages still run through my "real" phone number.
