Wifi calling but no wifi SMS


Recommended Posts

Question out of curiously - why hasn't sprint implemented SMS over wifi, only calling over wifi. As I understand it, they already have IMSs set up for SMS over LTE, so why can't those be used while on wifi?

 

It works on non-iPhone devices, for some reason it's not working on iPhones yet.

Sprint does have the advanced LTE core and the ePDG to implement this. Just on Apple to turn it on.

 

AT&T (I know for sure) and T-Mobile (I'm pretty sure) already have this...I don't think its apple were waiting on...

Yea I don't understand and it's super annoying. Two of the places I spend most of my time have no service and I rly wish I could send SMS. Does sprint even know about this issue?

 

Sprint knows about it. On their wifi calling FAQ it says that sms is not supported over wifi on iOS, but it does mention that it is expected to be supported in the future. Hopefully the future will be sooner than later.

    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
