I was hoping to get some opinions on this idea since T-Mobile's coverage is pretty bad in my neighborhood. I'm thinking of porting my number to Google voice then pointing it to a Skype number and running it all through clear 4g for $50/mo unlimited with unlimited calling on Skype for $3/mo. Thoughts?

Depends on if you want to have a phone when you really need it. VoIP is useless without a high speed connection.

If you don't have a good cell coverage, nothing will magically give you a reliable service, unless you have WiFi everywhere you go.

Save yourself from the trouble and switch to AT&T. I really think it's a ridiculous idea.

I have an iPhone 4 at the moment. I just ordered a galaxy nexus, and would like to hook it up to my current line, but I am not sure if I could get 4g on it , without paying more. If I don't, could I still get 3g? Thanks

You shouldnt have to pay more. Who's your carrier?

Verizon

No they will not charge you more. Unless you used a upgrade and had unlimited data they will now switch you to a shared data plan which might cost you more depending on your data habits. But if you bought it on your own and are just doing a phone swap they will not charge you more.

They do the exact oppisite where we live, they charge the crap out of you seeing we are one of the most expensive countries in the world when it comes to cellular everything for that matter

Just talk to customer care and ask them to put this on your line.

No, I highly doubt you will have to pay more. I know that with AT&T they call it an LTE plan even if you don't have access to LTE.
Hello , I've been using the sip/VoIP on my nexus with my phones Sim card ,I'm on grandfathered data plan, just wondering has anyone noticed any issues in billing or other charges for using this? Is there anything else I should know? I have been searching online weather it is illegal or not and cannot come up with anything.

Not sure if it helps but from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036344, looks like you get charged data rate for sending sms, guessing voip/sip calls would charge data rate as well since only gsm calls with get deducted from your calls quota.
As far as any legal problems, I never heard of any such things, but it pays to check with some1 that knows ur country's local laws just to be on the safe side

Is it normal for 3G data to turn off when on a phone call?
I don't remember it doing that on my previous Evo3D... Thanks

What setup do you have? Different ROMs?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
For me that happens usually when 3G signal is slow so it changes to 2G to keep call up.
It's same with sgs3, note2 and iphone4 if 3G signal is not really good. Nokia lumia 800 switches back to 3G from 2G after signal gets better but calls fail more often too.

I don't know which set up I have. Everything is in default except for my rom and kernel. My data never turns off when I get a call or when I'm calling. I kinda wish it did. I could save that extra juice. I have used many roms and it's the same scenario.

I stay using WiFi calling and I don't have any issues. No disrespect to anyone here but it could be your wireless router causing the issue.

Mine was a little choppy too. At home, at work, or at work office (all 3 with different locations and different routers). So I just turned it off..

Not choppy but robotic /digitized. Works though

Call and complain, I did just that today as the G2 is a replacement for an Amaze 4G that is actually worse. And the corporate store has a restocking fee of $50. And I rather like this phone.

I get choppy digitized audio on Wi-Fi calling. I've just accepted it as normal. It isn't a deal breaker
I just consider it an "if all else fails" type of thing since the quality is so poor. I wonder how much less radiation the phone puts out though.

WiFi Calling drops within 5 minutes
I have been searching all the forums for any info on this. I saw one post earlier, but it seems to have been removed. It showed a specific setting for un-checking router re-checks. I can't find the setting on LG G2. My problem:
Had an HTC One S. It never woke up with WiFi calling enabled, huge problem. Went to the LG G2, wakes up perfectly but after a few minutes (.30 to 7 min) it drops the call. All new WiFi hardware and I still get drops. 7 different calls with tech support, even changed the SIM to the one that came with the phone. There's a trouble ticket in. Hope it actually gets to LG.
More times than most, the upgrade/tweaking of the radio are the last of the updates the put out. For this...I would pay whatever the bounty is on this, now. Just get it Fixed!!!
