Video calling won't work if you're not an Att customer, WiFi calling wants an emergency address to work. How do you fix that if you are using another provider?

To be all honest. I'm not impressed with it and wish I didn't do it.
I'm an att customer and I can't get it to work in my own house with 2 capable phones.
The reason they want an address is for 911 calls. That's all. It uses your phones ip address and ties it to an address for emergencies if you call for them.
I just put in 000 nowhere lane for mine.

Where do you enter the address???
THEN WHO WAS PHONE?!?!?!?!?! (j/k)
Under Settings>wifi calling, there is an option for emergency address. I seem to recall I was prompted the first time to enter my home address.
Works fine here, if a little slow to switch to wifi calling vs cell
WiFi calling would be nice if it actually worked but unfortunately I haven't been successful. I entered an emergency address but it just doesn't work.

As this is my first post, Hi everyone and what a great community here!
I have pfingo:selected on my today screen and can receive incoming calls but cannot make outgoing.
I have tried several edits to my ipdialing.xml but without success.
Has anyone successfully dialed out via pfingo (wifi or 3g/gsm) in the UK using your 3 month free account?
I have looked around pfingo's http://www.pfingo.com for info stating we cannot make international calls, as we are given SGD15.00 talk credit and
SGD5.00 SMS.
If so, I would be very pleased (and i'm sure many xda-dev UK members!) if you would post your ipdialing.xml text here.
Many thanks!
Why not just use the SIPconfig app??
Also you need to remove the +44 part because the dialplan doesnt recognise international numbers for some reason.
just try calling your house with the standard 01xxx xxxxxx number.

Tried that mrvanx, no joy, pfingo just bleeps and disconnects.
When you try to use the VoIP is this through wifi or GPRS?
if its through wifi make sure your ports are configured correctly in your broadband hardware.
If through GPRS....O2 DO NOT appear to be data friendly when it comes to normal users.....they may block the ports etc... since it would be lost revenue to them.
One of the reasons i left O2 (a few days ago) is because of thier abysmal data policies.
You should try 00 1 your house nb in USA.
or 00 44 your UK number
This works with VoipBuster.
00 is the international prefix in Europe
Let me know

Mrvanx, Through wifi.
I have used a pfingo's softphone on my laptop on the same wireless network, and that works fine, so the firewall isn't blocking.

yer the softphone might used upnp through your router....sets its own ports up etc....
manually forward the ports to your phone and give it another shot dude.
Ive had the same problem with SIPGate and it works since forwarding the ports.
I think Pfingo's dialing rules seems really funky as i cannot dial out too. grrr........
using my 838pro with voipbuster works fine.
I think its just weird. I'm using pfingo with the default dial plan, connected through a non uPnP router and I can call out and receive calls just fine.
But this was only last night, previously, WM6 will tell me that the network service was unavailable, blah blah blah...

Hi Eric,
That's the problem, other users have stated no problems with voipbuster.
So whats concerning is pfingo softphone on the same wireless network follows these rules but somehow the ipdialing.xml for WM6 isn't!
I have an MDA C3. When web & walk is transferring internet Data and a call comes in, the phone does not ring. It goes directly to the voicemail.
T-Mobile customer service tell me that this is correct as you can either transfer internet data or make a call.
Is that right? I thought that was with WAP which is analagous to dial-up. Surely GPRS is analagous to Broadband.
Anyone else want to try this:
Go to Web & walk home page. Attempt loading up the guardian page (This will take a while). Whilst this is loading, call your phone number and see if it rings or goes direct to VM.
I spend lots of time browsing so I must be losing lots of calls!
Feedback greatly appreciated.
From what I have heard only UMTS devices can support simultaneous voice/data.
Yes - but not GRPS that uses GSM band instead of UMTS.
However, some devices have troubles keeping the data link active when a call comes in.
I am having the same issue (also on T-Mobile UK).
Then IE is running or AS is downloading my mail (I use direct push) all my calls go straight to voicemail.
This is worrying as I just moved over to T-Mobile for the web n walk package to allow me to have instant e-mails. This is a pain if it means I miss calls whilst my mail is downloading.
You'd think that the chances of the 2 coinciding are slim (I don't get a lot of mail, maybe 10 per day) but the wife has already complained 3 times since Friday that she went straight to voicemail, and each time it was exactly as i got a new mail.
Is this a limit of GPRS, the Orbit or just T-Mobile?
Thanks
Dae
I was surprised too... Thats why I posted the query. I thought my phone and/or SIm were faulty. But T-Mobile tell me thats how its supposed to work.
With W&W and Email, Its really hard for someone to get through with a voice call. It was worrying for me as I tend to browse the net whenever I am waiting around. This means that when I am on the bus surfing, no one can get through to me!!
Surely if there is a limitation, then the phone should give precendence to the Voice call. After all, you can pick up your emails or surfing where you left off.
I would really be interested to see if this is a T-Mobile only problem.
No itschase is spot on.
It's not a t-Mobile problem, it's the same for any GSM based network.
Only 3g (UMTS) phones can do data and voice at the same time. No matter what network you are on.
I have just run an experiment in the office as follows:-
Me (artemis with v3 black and blue) - Voicemail when data active
person 1 (MDA compact III - v3 black and blue) - Voicemail when active
person 2 (hermes) - no Voicemail when active.
We are all on t-mobile UK, and therefore it doesn't look like a network issue, but maybe a ROM problem?

What problem? Everything is working as it supposed to. If it's so important to you. Go buy a 3g phone!
I now fully appreciate that 3g phones are the only ones to support this type of behaviour.
I was trying to be helpful and post the results of my test as at that point I didn't realise that only 3g phones worked as such. I was lead to believe this by wikipedia:-
"Class B
Can be connected to GPRS service and GSM service (voice, SMS), but using only one or the other at a given time. During GSM service (voice call or SMS), GPRS service is suspended, and then resumed automatically after the GSM service (voice call or SMS) has concluded. Most GPRS mobile devices are Class B. "
Obviously this is not the case.

I incorrectly assumed that whilst browsing, if a voice call comes in, the phone would give priority to the call.
If I had known what I know now at the time I signed my 18M contract I would have bought a 3g Phone! Its just annoying that i'm stuck with it for another 12M. T-Mobile push the fact that they have set the internet free... but what they fail to get across to everyday users is that its "AT THE EXPENSE OF THE VOICE CALLS"
Because T-Mobile forced you to buy one of their 2.5g phones rather than one of their 3g phones?

Neither have I to be honest, the issue only arises while you are actively downloading data. However once the website has loaded, you are free to accept calls again whilst still looking at the site in the browser.

As a test I started downloading a dummy 32MB testfile on my P3300 (from speedtest.bbned.nl) and I called my mobile with another phone.
There was no problem; I received the call while downloading the file.
Maybe it depends on the operator? I am in Holland on T-Mobile

Hi,
It's not enough to have a class A (2G) device, but also DTM (Dual Transfer Mode/Simple Class A) support has to be active in the specific network, otherwise only 3G device on 3G network will provide Class A (simultaneous voice & data).
In fact, there are quite many models from Nokia during last year that support DTM, but as already mentioned, it's not enough.
FYI,
Zohar

Is that an EDGE network ?
I got the Artemis with PV Black&Blue v3 ROM.
I can receive calls while pages are loading in IE.
I think this is a provider problem.
The phone provider has to intercept your GPRS connection and establish the GSM connection. Maybe T-Mobile just rejects calls while a GPRS connection/transfer is active.
A1 intercepts the page download and my call comes in.
When I pick up, the GPRS connection is closed completely. (not just pending)
So receiving calls while surfing is no problem for me with Austrian A1 provider.
Any other experiences?

Yup, GrooveIP. But if you don't want to use Google Voice/Talk/Chat for any reason and are pretty technically advanced, then you could always install csipsimple and point it to any SIP provider (RIP gizmo5) or your own SIP server.
I have both apps installed and working, GrooveIP is definitely the super easy route. I keep csipsimple around for when I want to make international calls (since SIP providers generally have cheapter international calling rates than google voice).
Thanks, guys. I tried out Groove IP yesterday. Trying to resolve a problem. When I called my sister, she said she could barely understand me even though her voice came through clearly for me (on Time-Warner wifi).
Other than the alpha CM7--I ran that for a while but really need Wifi calling as well.
According to the posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379524 it looks like the SIP stack is still in place but that Samsung just crippled the settings menu options. It would be fantastic if all it took to restore the SIP calling features was to add back the menu items for setting up the accounts! I have no idea if that is something that is doable or not.
On my MT4G there were a number of ROMs, CM7 and Sense-based, that supported both Wifi Calling as well as SIP calling and I am really missing this ability.
No one else uses this awesome capability?

Which app would you use? Since many ROMs already do WiFi calling, not sure there's a need for SIP calling. Or maybe I misunderstood the question?
Not an app, the native SIP calling built into Gingerbread. It's there in CM7 and it was there on my MT4G on multiple ROM's, along with Wifi calling.
Wifi calling is great if (a) you are using your T-Mo SIM and (b) you are calling the US. For example, my territory is Asia, so I have a VOIP service I use in Singapore and need to be able to connect to it while in the US so that I can call there cheaply. Right now I fall back to Google Voice, but that doesn't give the proper caller ID, etc.
Then, when I travel I put in a local SIM, so Wifi calling doesn't work anymore. So, I need to connect to a VOIP service in the US in order to call home cheaply.
Wifi calling and SIP calling are not mutually exclusive, but work well in tandem. Right now I still travel with my MT4G in order to do this, but it's on its last legs and needs to be retired quickly!

Very interesting. Didn't realize that was available in other Android builds. Sounds like it would be good to have if you were international.
Curious, though, aren't international data rates really high?

Not when using a local SIM. In Singapore 500Mb is about $12 and a month to use it in. That's actually plenty for me when I'm out as I have it on Wifi when in my hotel.

SIP native calling included into stock ROM of SGS2 i9100 (international version)
Native SIP client
I am also looking for NAtive SIP Client but I can't find anyway to include it... I tried all the MODs available and only CM7 gave me the ability to use Native SIP Client...
I am back to Stock ROM but still trying to find a way to include Internet Calling Menu under Call Settings...
Earlier this week I noticed that the Paradox ROM mentioned that they re-enabled the SIP Settings in their ROM. I haven't tried it yet as it was mentioned that they would be releasing an update by this weekend, so I will probably download and try that ROM out this weekend. I hope that SIP is working properly as it is a major pain for me without it. I keep my old Vibrant around just for SIP.
I have international texting plan and I'm going to be traveling overseas. I know if I use wifi calling feature and call back to US it's not going to overcharge me. I called T-Mobile and asked them if same applies to texting but no one seems to know the answer for sure. Would it charge me extra if I have wifi calling enable and I'm texting an international number from overseas, since I've international texting plan?

Yes but google voice only works in U.S. As soon as you cross the border to canada or a different county google voice, hulu and bunch of other stuff doesn't work. Even some of my amazon apps won't work if I am in a different county.
This is just a shot in the dark. I need to update my sim card to use wifi calling, and i cant remember if your phone will allow a call in airplane mode (to turn your radio off) with wifi on. if it does maybe you can test the same for texts.
Upon further review it seems data must be on even for wifi calling....maybe theres an app out there that can help you out

Google voice doesn't work in Canada. I guess my question is if we have wifi calling feature on, the phone is not using its own data but the text msgs is routed thru wifi, so I shouldn't be charged for those text since I have unlimited international texting. Am I correct?

I just came back from canada 2 weeks ago and was using google voice perfectly fine. I was using it for calls though, not texts.
I am currently in the Dominican Republic, and google voice works just fine here. I am not able to setup a new account here but as long as the account was made in the U.S. first, then it can be used when going over sees.
there are plenty of alternatives, but to answer the original question, yes, it will charge you extra. Wifi calling does not support sms.
Actually Im in Canada right now and wifi calling works awesome. I have been calling and texting from the airports, coffee shops and hotels using their wifi. As of right now, I checked my account on TMobile.com and there is no additional charges.
If I am correct, after registering on tmobile network, wifi calling routes ur calling thru wifi instead of using a cell tower. During the wifi calling feature enables, ur cell tower is disabled so ur texting should be routed thru wifi also.
Please correct me if I m wrong.

That is how it works and sms messages are routed through wifi too but it wouldnt be the first time a carrier found a way to charge for services not rendered, remember att and charging people for using data over wifi. I think you should be able to swing a credit if they do try to charge you. In the future you could use a vpn to your home in the us and use gv or whatever free.
