I know I'm a bit late to the party with my response but Wi-Fi calling has been nothing short of fantastic in my experience. Works way better on Sprint than it did on T-Mobile. Absolutely no lag or anything like that.

The following are separated graphs. Text msgs first, then call, then MMS.   Text messages(3 or so I think in the graph)     Then we have a phone call (I called my home phone/landline vonage fro

Excellent. Can't wait for iOS 8, and hopefully for Sprint to support WiFi Calling on iOS devices. Finally I will be able to dump my Airave!

Uh...As soon as iOS 8 shows up and lets me do wifi calling at home....This AIRHELL is disappearing. Back to Sprint. I do not want it anymore.

International wifi calling is official. The OTA for the gs4 is being pushed first. Free calls to US from anywhere in the world over wifi.

 

This is awesome news!

Wifi calling works great on my M8. Getting and receiving txt msg works good too. Just wondering why Sprint has tracked how many minutes and texts I've used on wifi...Other than that, no complaints!

My G5 is working great for WIFI calling in a location where I've had an AirRave..  I am sending mine back even though it's not being charged...  It's of no value to me and it's just another piece of equipment plus even though it's not much, it's another trickle device sucking energy..   In addition, the regular Sprint network around me has also improved a great deal in the year since I got the thing,,  So I am sending it back and be a good citizen..

 

At my other location in Jacksonville, the Sprint network continues to improve with now LTE coverage inside my house I don't need due to HS Xfinity coverage...  Not bothering with WIFI calling at the house... I have a landline plus mobile network is fine now...

I am pleased that Sprint is tracking Wi-Fi calling usage.  In the coming months, maybe we will get some meaningful statistics of its impact.

How does a handoff work from Wi-Fi to 1x?

 

It does not.  No handoff.

You should be able to put the phone in Sprint Only mode and avoid all the roaming toggles. Only drawback is outside airplane mode the phone will eat battery trying to get back on Sprint...

Hopefully that was just an oversight that a software update can fix.

That's just the nature of Sprint phones in roaming coverage: they aggressively hunt for a native signal to avoid roaming. It's designed that way.

Because you cant use it with airplane mode, if you are abroad, you should be able to turn on all the roaming guards, turn off all roaming, and make wifi calls without fear of latching onto a roaming network right?

On an iPhone. you can turn on airplane mode, then go in and switch wifi back on. I'm not sure about Android, but I'd imagine the same would be possible. Then again, this thread is about Wifi calling and iPhones don't support it (yet).

The Airplane On with WiFi on also works on Android, but I don't know how that affects WiFi Calling.

Do you use Google voice integration?

Nope. Had to remove google voice integration last week because it was preventing me from making or receiving calls. But when WiFi calling is enabled to receive MMS I have to have the default htc messages app set to my default sms app. If I have another like the one I am currently using QKSms they will send but not come through until I disable it or reboot the phone.

If only Sprint would stop screwing around and make and update for all of its 2013 and 2014 flagship phones to have Domestic AND International wifi calling.  I hate the fact that Sprint is doing swiss cheese when it comes to wifi calling where some phones have and some don't.  

 

My poor LG G2 still does not have wifi calling and now with international wifi calling as an option, that would be awesome if Sprint would add that to the Android L ROM update I will be happy.

I did that for neighbors who may want to try and connect...doubt they'd ever figure out my password, but it makes people talk -- and in this small town, they need all they can to talk about.

Is the password " 'Merica" ?  :P

      Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.

      No? RCS on Google messages works great for me, messages between anyone with RCS enabled go through with no problems. Don't remember the last time I had an issue. I only have issues with people on iPhones on different carriers from T-Mobile.

      Has anyone experienced a ridiculous amount of difficulty with Google messages with RCS enabled?  It has been a train wreck for me for the past year so I now use WhatsApp.  That works very well for all of us.... Android and iOS.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Probably not worth the fiddling given that that's a few percent of the band. Also, if they really wanted to push my assumption is there are still guard bands in play for the n41 carriers so they could fit two "100 MHz" carriers into 194 MHz anyway. Looks like minimum guard band is less than 1 MHz and a 100 MHz channel is only 273 30 KHz resource blocks, which is a bit over 80 MHz total, so if they really wanted to pull another 5% or so capacity out they could.

      Saw that for a while. Now back to n25 + n71 + n41-100Mhz + n41-90Mhz.
