IPhone :: Can 4 Use Wifi Signal To Make Phone Calls
Apr 22, 2012
i have no 3g signal in my trailer but i have wifi. if im on a call outside using 3g and enter my house the call drops. my friends lg phone automatically switches to the wifi and doesnt loose calls.
I live in an area that has no ATT service or any other service yet I use an iphone 4 with ATT service. My husband uses a T-mobile Android and while neither of us receive any cell signal, when our WIFI is on, my husband can receive and make phone calls with his cell phone. I on the other hand have not been able to figure out how the iphone may be able function in a similar way.
my phone has been acting strange for about a week passing from inconvenient to unusable. It sometimes says that there is no service, and when there is service available it just doesn't work.I can't call, sms, or receive calls or sms.I called my service provider (Telcel Mexico) and everything seems to be in order.If I put my chip into my old phone I can make/receive calls and sms no problem.
My Atrix was working just fine for the past month, and this morning all of a sudden I'm not getting ANY signal/reception. I can't make phone calls nor send texts. Sometimes the signal comes back but it's just for 2 or 3 minutes and then the signal is completely gone again. When I plug the SIM card into another phone it works just fine so that rules out AT&T's problem. Wi-fi works just fine. I factory reset the phone but the problem still exists. I am already out of the 30-day return/exchange policy, what can I do? Is this problem going to be fixed for the next update?
Screen shot shows when my phone is completely out of signal.
I recently got an iPhone from a friend that has a very strange fault. It can show a very strong signal (5 bars) but will intermittently not make or receive calls and texts. For example just with the phone sat here on my desk one min it will make outgoing calls and the next it just sits at "calling" with no ring tone for about 45 secs before moving to "Call Failed". Incoming calls sometimes work and sometimes go straight to answer phone. Outgoing texts sometimes fail to send and sometimes work.Just for a bit of background this is an unlocked 8GB iPhone 2G on firmware 3.1.3. I've tried both Orange and Tesco (O2) sims and both have the same problem. The Wi-Fi and everything else work perfectly and the phone itself is in good physical condition. I have tested the sims in an 16GB iPhone 2G with identical firmware and that works fine.
So any ideas what it might be? I've kind of discounted the sims and the firmware which only really leaves a hardware problem. Could it be a problem with the aerial or would that show a weak signal strength? Is it relatively easy to replace and would you recommend it?
i have no bars showing on my signal its shows 3g i cant make calls but can connect to internet on 3g and even when i turn 3g off the phones not connected to wifi what could be the problem
My Sony Xperia Z3 doesn't have service. It can only connect to WiFi. I've tried airplane mode, shutting it off, resetting the phone. I cannot receive incoming calls nor make calls.
So I received the new Fi Sim card as the one in my nexus 6 wasnt compatible with the Nexus 6p. Went through the activation etc and I receive calls on wifi but not make calls on wifi or cellular, data is brutally slow. Waiting to hear back from Google on this.
The wierdest things had happen to my blackberry.Before I go on, it involved 2 simcard.
Simcard A : simcard with BBM and full data service is registered to (Indonesian network)
Simcard B : without BBM registration, etc. (Indonesian network)
This is how it started. I have brought my phone from Indonesia to China. As I tried to use my BBM, it wont work. I tried switching on WIFI but all I got is the dull grey wifi icon. I tried so many setting but it would not work. Remember, I am using simcard A.Now, I pull out simcard A and put simcard B on. I dont know what happen, I start receiving BBM messages. I was so afraid of getting charge for data roaming, I quickly switch connection prefference to 'wifi only' with my WIFI connection on. At the home screen, next to the small antenna icon, it says 'OFF' so i assumed mobile signal is OFF. To my supprise, my BBM is still receiving messages and I can reply them no problem. Again I assumed it was connected through WIFI. What is so weird is, while i was chatting away with WIFI ON (still dull grey icon) and mobile signal OFF, I suddenly receive a phone call.
Can anyone tell me what is going on with my Blackberry? Am I being charge for data roaming while I was chatting away or I was just receiving and sending data through WIFI? but why the calls came in with mobile signal OFF?
For today I have not had a signal at all in my house. I have never had a problem before with my Tour but today has been the worst. I cannot receive or make calls, send or receive emails or text messages. I have reset everything and even did the *228 thing but nothing. I have to drive around the block to make a phone call. Any advice for me besides throwing it out the window?
Signal Bar is full but cannot make or receive calls , when dialing out "connection error" comes , If dialing the number it comes as switched off ....The phone needs to be restarted every time this happens , happens every day atleast once , attempted a factory restore , still the same issue ......Using the same unit for more than a year , now the issue cropped up after the Belle update only.....
I just moves and the cellular service (ATT and Sprint) is very poor. I have ATT Uverse for Wifi. Can I use the Wifi to make calls rather than the cellular service? Any option other than a land line?
I was told that my blackberry can make calls via Wi-Fi if I didn't have network coverage but can get within a mobile network. I've seen people do this with their blackberry devices but with different carriers. Is this still possible? I called my carrier after I received the phone for assistance doing this and they denied the phone having that capability. Can someone please give me a straight answer and instructions on how to do this? Also, my device does not connect with the BB enterprise server. What do I need to do to have this service activated?
I have (accidentally) rec'd calls at 30,000 ft on a delta plane with my network option on wifi only and having logged on to Deltas onboard wifi. This led me to believe that it is possible to make and recieve calls anywhere in the world as long as I am in a hot spot.
I have contacted my carrier, T-mobile, and have rec'd mixed signals from them. I am about to depart for spain and was thinking as long as I set my phone to wifi only, I should be able to make, recieve calls and data without incurring any roaming charges since it is all data or VoIP via the web.
Today my iPhone stopped receiving phone calls and texts and I am also unable to send or make phone calls, what should I do? Is this something I should take to the apple store or can I fix it myself?
I have a problem with an iPhone 4 GSM with iOS 5.1: until last week it perfectly worked and then it started to not have any signal bars and therefore I can't receive and send either calls or texts. Oddly enough though I can still connect to the web. I forgot to mention before that the iphone is factory unlocked.I tried to reset the settings and then to format the device but nothing changed. I also changed sims but again nothing.
I’m new to Android and have an LG G3 D855 running stock 5.0 (V20f).
I’ve noticed that sometimes although the phone displays decent signal, incoming calls go straight to voicemail. The phone doesn’t show a missed call.
The phone’s network mode is set to prefer ‘GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto’.
Does anyone know of a BB app that can be used to make free calls over my home wifi network? I thought the Google Voice/Google Talk apps would accomplish this but that does not seem to work.
i just bought iPhone 6+ 64 GB in Thailand and transfered all my info to the new nano simcard. After 6 hr driving back to my hometown I charged my battery as it run out. The next day my phone signal is lost (it says "searching...") But the wifi connection is on.
I started having this strange bug: for no apparent reason, suddenly every phone call i try to make ends after 1-2 seconds, before even reaching the recipient. Only way to resolve it is restarting the phone. After a while the problem can repeat itself randomly.
My phone loses the ability to send and receive calls. I lose the phone icon and I cannot call my voicemail This is the 3rd time it has happened. The first time they wiped my phone. The second time they replaced the phone.
I have a 8330 curve that was originally for sprint but unlocked to verizon. I have 37403473 bytes free before the battery pull and after replacement i have 38160293 bytes free after replacement. the applications i have are verizon backup assistant, BB core app, BB system software, BB app world, BB attachment service,japanese characters, korean characters, maps. BBM, simplified chinese, traditional chinese, brickbreaker, browser, documents to go, ethink memory, email setup, facebook, memo pad, myverizon, password keeper, phone and tasks.I do not know what a bt model/version is.
My problem is that I cannot make phone calls. my phone will say connected and the person's phone will ring but when the call is 'connected' neither one can hear the other. the only time i can make phone calls is after a battery replacement, if i have the phone plugged in i may be able to answer for up to an hour, but with it just sitting off the plug it may only be minutes. but it does not disconnect phone calls, i can be on the phone for an hour, without being plugged in and i can continue with the call.
Here's the deal.. I was driving today and all of a sudden my phone just stopped working.. I saw a notification saying I should restore my phone or contact apple.. My phone still powers on, I still have my custom lock screen and all but I can only make emergency calls and access SBSettings which doesn't actually work anymore. So I tried to restore the the custom firmware and itunes keeps giving me the 1600 error .. I have heard iReb can fix this but I dont even know if its compatible with the 3GS for this issue.. I have tried but its kinda confusing and hasnt exactly worked..
I have a wireless router downstairs and an access point upstairs (both withe the same SSID).The problem is that my phone does not pick up the strongest signal.Each time i have to disconnect the Wifi on my phone, after connecting the Wifi again it picks up the strongest signal.
