My Google Fi was cutoff. Are there any options for outgoing/incoming calls over wifi or do they lock all that down? Can this be bypassed using a custom ROM?
Talkatone can be used for wifi calls, if you are cut off from Google Fi, not sure how you are going to use it?
TextNow works pretty good.

does anyone on t-mobile have conditional call forwarding working on their Galaxy S3 when using wifi calling?
i.e. I setup conditional call forwarding to my google voice # with **61*, **62*, **67* and it works great when wifi calling is disabled.
However, as soon as I enable wifi calling and try making calls to my cell's #, its as if "unconditional" call forwarding is enabled as the phone never rings and the call goes straight to my google voice #.
wondering if anyone else has seen this?
thanks!
Ok, I have a google voice account. I have a google voice number. I am in an area right now where I can only use wifi. I am perfectly able to use my google voice number to send and recieve text messages but I can not place outgoing calls. When I choose a person to call, I get the prompt to either make a call using google voice, or make a call without google voice. I obviously choose to make a call with google voice. Now, after I choose that option, it tries to make the call using my network connection and since I dont have any service at the moment, it says "no network available". How do I get google voice to use the wifi connection instead of the network connection, to make the outgoing calls? Isn't that the whole point of google voice? The text messages work fine. Thanks guys.

Outgoing calls use your cellular connection. You could try GrooveIP in the play store, however I had hit-or-miss success (mostly miss) using it. It seems to be about as reliable as T-Mob's wifi calling, which again is hit-or-miss.
Keep calm and flash on...
As the previous poster has stated this may work...

Yea I seem to have gotten it to work pretty good. I really had to mess with all the settings though on both google voice and groove ip. Thanks guys. I have figured out that google voice cannot make and recieve calls over wifi but it can make and receive calls over your mobile network. But here is the problem. When I finally got in an area where I had regular service, i tried just using the google voice to make calls over my mobile network and for some reason I cant get that to work. I can get groove ip to make and receive calls over my mobile network but google voice just does not want to make calls either way (wifi or mobile network). If anyone knows why, let me know please. Thanks.
Using Free Sonic's FreeGS3 Rom v2.0.0 with stock kernel and LJ7 Radio, whenever on roaming I cannot receive any calls. The phone simply ignores it entirely. The only notification I receive is the voicemail notifications I get. I can, however place calls. I confirmed this using my landline.
Blocking Mode is off.
Mobile Networks is set to CDMA/LTE/EVDO, but this is a voice issue.
Roaming Network is set to auto, voice and data domestic roaming are enabled, as well as international just in case that was causing it. All roam guards are off, in case they were somehow defaulting to reject.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Non-roaming incoming/outgoing calls work.
Roaming outgoing calls work, incoming does not.
So I've been trying to get to where I can turn on airplane mode, then flip WiFi on and still be able to receive calls. I'm not using T-Mobile (but have the M919), so the WiFi calling feature doesn't apply. I'm using SipDroid + Google Voice with a PBXes.org account. My problem is that when people call my cell number (which is forwarded to my GV number) with my mobile service turned off they get redirected to my Google Voicemail. If, on the other hand, someone calls my GV number, my phone rings and I can answer it with SipDroid; making outgoing calls via SipDroid also work flawlessly. I have unanswered and unreachable call forwarding activated to forward calls to my GV number but it's just not working as I expect it to. Any advice?

I used Groove IP for this and the way to get it to work correctly was, I believe, to make sure that GV's settings are forwarding calls on to Google Chat. It sounds like you already have that set, since you can get direct calls to your GV number, but you might want to make sure all the settings are correct on the GV side.
I'm tired of needing touchwiz for Wifi Calling. The big question of this thread is "Can a google voice and hangouts dialer setup replace Wifi Calling?"
and how to set it up?
NOTE: I still want others to reach me on my Tmo number for voice and SMS. Where possible, I DON'T want others to see calls or SMSs from me coming from my GV number. This is what's nice about Tmo WiFi calling. It looks like you are just on the carrier network to everyone else.
What I'm trying so far:
-------Turned off wifi calling.-------
1) Keep my Tmobile number (not ported to GV) but set forwarding in the phone dialer app to forward to google voice number. This was necessary to handle voice mail in google voice before.
- Starting with "always forward" turned OFF, not sure if it should be ON or not yet because I'd think I still want my Tmo number to ring normally when Tmo coverage is OK. If coverage is bad, "unreachable" setting should forward to GV number and if I'm on Wifi, Hangouts should ring. (This part worries me and needs a lot of testing)
2) Hangouts handles SMS and the Hangouts dialer is installed.
-Hangouts SMS settings sends SMS from my Tmo number.
-Hangouts account settings for Google Voice set to ring Hangouts for incoming calls made to GV number.
Q: what happens when SMS comes into my Tmo number but I'm out of Tmo coverage on Wifi? Is there a way to forward SMS when 'unreachable" ?
Q: from what I've seen when using Wifi Calling, outbound SMSs don't send unless Tmo coverage is good. Is there any way to have Hangouts relay SMSs over a data connection? (unlikely, but want to ask)
3) Google Voice app is installed. This is still required but may soon be unnecessary.
- GV settings currently on "do not use Google Voice to make any calls"
4) When tmobile coverage is good, dial out with default dialer, When coverage is bad and I'm on Wifi, use hangouts dialer.
- I think my caller id in outbound calls would show my GV number. I don't know any way around this yet.
5) Disable 'double ring' See http://www.cnet.com/how-to/tips-for-google-voice-in-hangouts-on-android/
6) Incoming caller ID shows caller's number in GV settings under "Calls"
