I don't get why there are all these threads about getting voice calls to work when this method already works
So I installed the apk skype file from this website and install through the my files file manager already installed on the tab!!!
http://androidcommunity.com/skype-calls-over-3g-now-available-with-a-simple-hack-20101007/
It's so amazing what you developers do with even getting paid! Thanks so much.
Next there will be a way to get incoming calls through landlines.

Obvious troll is obvious.

PS. In the rare case you aren't trolling, skype isn't the same as phone service. You should know this already if you spend any time on this site.
The deal was to use the phone on the cellular network rather than the internet.

+1 works pretty good. Some lag not sure which end it was on but betting the AT&T side
You can now block unwanted voice calls as well as text messages. You have to go to Sprint's web site and list the numbers you want blocked there.

Been using that feature for quite some time now. I thought everyone knew about it because I'm usually the last to know anything around here. heh.
I've been using that service for about six months now, to block all the dirtbags sending dirty messages to my teenage daughter. Blocked about forty numbers from voice and text already.

I've been using Call Blocker Gold, didn't know Sprint had that option. Is there an option to block all private/unknown numbers as well?

FYI: there are ways around blocking by phone number to get in touch with another mobile device. Off top my head:
Use Skype
Use Gmail to text or call
Possibly Google Voice?
Instant Messaging (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, GTalk, etc)

on sprints website you need to know the number. You can't block unless you have it. If the app your using blocks unknown callers I would stick with that.

Was thinking the exact same thing!
Why does all my threads turn into trash? Do I attract them or is the Epic forum really turned to sh&t?
I can't believe this has been available for months and I just seen it on their site. You would think an announcement text would be nice instead of their usual crap texts.

Wow. I guess someone failed to mention that this site is not /b/ or 4chan or whatever these types frequent these days.
I have an 18 year old and I know that a girl does not need to be a "whore" simply because boys want to talk to her. She doesn't want to talk to them, but that doesn't stop those kids from trying. Still waiting until she chooses one of them so I can set up the ring in the garage and put him through the test.
Edit: I specifically did not quote the offending post because I don't want that kind of childishness and hate on my posts. BrooklynsFinest is not the offender and I echo his comment.

You have it but you have to log in to Sprint and go to the bottom of the screen and go to Change preferences, then scroll down to block voice. You have to add numbers you want to block there.

Yep, went through Sprint's crappy site and found it. Bet next to no one uses it because it's buried so deep in there and is presented in such a user-unfriendly way.
Mostly what I do is give out my Google voice # and use it to block. Neat and easy.

The program requires you to give your number to add people. But I figure we can make a list of people(DON'T POST YOUR NUMBER lol) who are willing to share numbers through private means haha. So just post if anything and I'll update the list as often as I can.
Those willing to share so far:

Lol it is true. Samsung is trying to compete with BBM but it's hard to get someone to use something if it's not preinstalled.

So the app lets u see when a msg was delivered and when it was read?
They really just need to integrate aim and all those other ones into texting

In a sense yes. Like Kik not necessarily, I can't easily compare and contrast the two against eachother as this feels more instantaneous to me.

lol You already have circles(Whatever googles does for google+) and Facebook Chat/Messenger.
I just want a messaging program that doesn't destroy battery life.
This program has the potential to be widely adopted but iPhone users will go straight to iMessage, BBers will stick to BBM and anyone who is chatting cross platform prior to this will stick to WhatsApp or the other variations. Not to mention that Samsung could make the switch really quick and easy if they make it so you can scan your address book to add buddies or add them via username/PIN. If they release to iPhone and BB quickly as they plan to it has a chance. But really, can ChatOn do anything that I can't already do with Go SMS Pro?

nice app, for me its free, though the voice lag by 2-3 seconds in india, but for price of free everything is bearable
good app.. but it requires you to create a group and wen u hit the cal button everyone in ur list are called up simultaneously.. it would have been better if we could select individually each time we needed to call.

Certainly Greece is not one of them. Check the website for info. Does anyone know a similar app that supports Greece?

Just went through their website. No where have they told about their reveue model. Only details about the credits for conference calls are mentioned.
Used the app for a day or two, seems to be free though.. But wondering why? Any ideas?
Is it really free? Cause it says that the caller will be charged

Same question i'd ask aswell, i'm definitely in a supported country, but when i try to call it prompts an intial charge fee, i'm i doin something wrong or does it not recognize my location even though i turned my gps on?
Its is free for first ten calls daily...so use it for all your long calls...
hope I helped
Nope it is free for one to one calls but limited for one to group calls....
