Hi all,
I recently purchased a galaxy s9, model SM-G9600. I have never flashed a phone before so I'm quite new to this all. The problem with this phone is that it has no wifi-calling option in the settings. I currently have my t-mobile sim card in it. I've tried looking all over for an outside solution to this or if it is possible to just flash the proper t-mobile firmware to be able to get the wifi-calling option in the phone. I cannot seem to find a concrete answer/directions as to how to solve this. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a concrete answer and/or point me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance!
Hiya bud. Well the answer I'm gonna give is one you probably won't enjoy much, but no one else responded sadly.
I'm pretty sure that the wifi calling option will only work if you're on the correct calling network (I believe only tmobile branded for that software ).
I could be wrong though and the calling may work for other carriera, but I just thought I'd warm though ahead of time on your quest for the holy grail in case anyways.. If things work out better for you, then definitely let us know!
Cheers bud!!
Did you get it to work?

I have the same model and am on the t-mobile network. Did you flash your phone with the t-mobile firmware?? If so, did it work??
Thanks!

I've searched around for a definitive answer on this, but haven't found one.
I see a lot of N900T's advertised as unlocked with a bad IMEI. Does this mean that since it's unlocked I can use the phone with AT&T in the USA, just not with TMo? Does it depend on the specific N900T at hand or is there a uniform rule?
Thankful for any and all help.
Yes, you can use it on AT&T without issue. I am doing this for a few months. But, there is a chance AT&T and T-Mobile will someday share blacklists and it could be blocked by both networks.

What this means is the imei is block by tmobile. It will not connect to its network.
Now att and tmobile have started to share networks. So its possible that it will be block by att also.
Over sea carries dont share the same list. (at lest not for now.) so there good to go,
Also note that there is no way to remove the device from the blacklist. Also just because its fine right now on att it doesnt mean it wont get updated down the road.
Then you will be left with a phone that you cant use.
I stop buying phones online because its harder to trust people and when something goes wrong you get the bad part of it.
I know for a fact they have been sharing the same list for atleast a year or so if im correct. You might be able to use it,but chances are it wont work. sorry to burst your bubble. just sell it on ebay and you might be able to get more money off it! good luck
Hi guys I am new to doing these things on GS3, Is is the same thing on Note 2?
I'm sorry in advanced if there's already a thread that answers this question but I looked and searched around to no avail/
I am just careful as the Note 2 is simpler as I easily find solutions to my problem here in the forum.
I am a lurker and just made an account to ask this one question that no one seemed to ask yet: Is there any way I could unlock a GS3 with 4.4.2?
It's unrooted as for some reason SuperSU isn't working. I am going to try to see what I can do about that.
This was my brother's phone, He then upgraded to 4.4.2 then asked me why his new carrier sim doesn't work and was asking for an unlock code.
TLDR: Upgraded to 4.4.2 and out of options for unlocking network.
TYIA guys.
Youll have to buy an unlock code online. Ive seen reports of some places charging just a few bucks. No other known way right now.

It would be mighty awesome if you know those said websites that can unlock 4.4.2 kitkat GS3. Thank you for the info at least someone replied.
If you or a friend are (or were) on AT&T at some point in time, you might be able to request an unlock code via this form

Yeah I will try that, But Bell Mobility costs 50 bucks to do that. So I might just look for an unlocking service site. Anyone here know one that works with the gs3 OTA 4.4.2?
Thank you for the reply.

hey guy did you ever get your phone unlock i am having the same problem i have the unlock code already it just keep saying unsuccessful any assistance would be appreciated thank you.
^Are you running a stock ROM?
I searched thru many threads and cannot find a definite answer.
Seems like update to 4.4.2 locks previously unlocked SIM on GPad.
Does flashing an "old" modem img solve the problem?
I just scored one on ebay with the intention to replace my T-Mobile Samsung Tab 3 7".
But..I need to be able to use it with T-Mo SIM.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?

As the title implies, I've tried my own research and came up with nothing on the matter. The Verizon model does not work with a Sprint SIM though it is claimed to be unlocked off the manufacturer so I'm leaning towards compatibility being the problem, is there any way to solve this? Maybe something can be done if the phone is rooted and using TWRP? Thanks for any help.

Nope and there won't be at least through legal means because Sprint won't attach Verizon's IMEI of the device to their SIM in order for it to accept and use Sprint network, unless if it's an apple product... (lol really). Funny how devices come unlocked or can be unlocked upon request due to law but loophole comes to play now SIM's can be locked to a devices IMEI rendering anything you try the SIM on useless other than it's original device. So much for having an unlocked device...
Just wondering -- have y'all tried any of the solutions mentioned in these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/ls990-red-t3033809
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/unlock-sprint-ls990-cdma-carrier-t2985523
(I know both of these are for putting a sprint phone on verizon, but maybe the NV/RUIM trick works in the other direction as well?)
I bought a unlocked 256gb note10+ from best buy in person. Pop my verizon sim card in and the phones working right.... not quite. I cant seem to find my wifi calling. Now I know there is a work around (as I did the same with my note8)but cant think of it currently. If someone can give me the right path I would greatly appreciate it.
