t-mobile Wifi calling on non t-mobile phones
« on: May 13, 2020, 04:59:00 PM »
I have an (unlocked) sprint phone being used on t-mobile, but wifi calling isn't working. it seems to be a general problem with non-t-mobile phones, does anyone have experience dealing with it?

To start, what device are you trying to get it to work on?

  Wi-Fi calling is not necessarily supported on every phone carrier.

  Also in general , if you want to make a call over Wi-Fi you can use Google voice to accomplish the same thing.

Your welcome.

 Just curious is there an app Wi-Fi calling installed on the phone? Or built into the phone settings?

Only using the built-in settings, is there an app for it?

Well for the phones that don't have it usually there's an app.
