Sorry, but you can't.
To have wifi calling you need a Tmobile phone,
Tmobile service, Tmobile rom and or firmware.
Good luck!

I have been reading the unlocking / voice calling threads about the galaxy tab and they are really informative. However, with the thread growing so long and so many different carriers being discussed, I lose track of which version is doing what.
So, since I am buying one today, I would really like to know which carrier would be the best to unlock here in the US. Should I buy the AT&T or T-Mobile vesrion? Does unlocking or flashing one or the other provide better use or functionality than the other?
What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
JT
^from what i have read on here the tmo version is not compatible at the moment with the unlocks;
hence the at&t version is best in usa; and the bell canada version in CDA..
enjoy!
i would go with att because it will be compatible with Euro 3G frequencies also you will be able to hack to get phone calls AND 3g. I believe Tmobile is only getting voice and edge at the moment...
Why are the Verizon and Sprint models left behind?

Because they are obviously more difficult to unlock and are probably less compatible with any other countries network. Almost every carrier worldwide uses GSM, sim cards. So version nor sprint wouldnt be a good choice since they don't use sim cards.

Would a tmobile tab work in europe or asia?

Yes you would! A TMo Tab still supports regular 2100MHz UMTS.

1. Both at&t and tmobiles tabs can be easily carrier (network) unlocked. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA and will not work in Europe. Also I am not sure that anybody knows how to switch these tabs from one carrier to another.
2. Another story about getting voice and 3G in the US. So far the best case for using tmobile phone sim presents at&t tab. Tmobile does not recognize this tab and their broadband device and allows for voice calling.
I could have voice and EDGE on tmobile using at&t tab with flashed EUR firmware and bell modem.
'I'm with Verizon's tab in SF, USA. Rooted with 4Zroot.
Using Droid X overclock application (market) on other extra features only.
GV & Skype (mod for 3G), can make calls & receives with both 3G (data plan $20-1Gb) & Wifi plane mode. I hope this helps.

Is it possible to root the Sprint version? Can you run custom roms?
Tethering with my Droid X is working too. I haven't done the recovery yet, waiting for stable version.

I am new to all this and just want to be 100% clear.
If I have a TMob Tab I have to use an ATT sim. If I have a ATT Tab I can use either ATT or Tmob sim.
If I use the ATT Tab with my current Iphone 3gs sim (unlimited everything) I will have full voice and 3g function?
If I use the Tmobile Tab with my ATT sim (unlimited everything) I will full voice and only 2g data?
Im sorry for asking such a simple question but I just want to be sure before I buy a Tab today.
Thank you all in advance.
Att and tmobile are using different frequencies thus 3G won't work if you are not using sim and tab from the same carrier. You can get only EDGE.
Att tab allows for voice and data when using t-mobile sim with voice and data plan.
I don't have knowledge of whether t-mobile allows the same with att sim.
T-mobile does not allow for voice and data when using their sim...

Thanks, that cleared it up for me.
I'd be happy with a TMob tab that had voice and Edge at this point. I'm almost always in WiFi anyway.
I picked up a Tmob tab today, if things dont look up soon I will return it and get the ATT.
I wanted too know if the change to T Mobile will allow me to get 4G lte on the S5 and will there be any limitations from switching from Verizon to T mobile.

The Verizon network is CDMA which has it's phones locked to their network. I'm sure it cannot be moved to another network.
So there is no chance it will work because they use different networks
Two questions,
1 - Does the Nexus 6P have LTE Band 30?
2 - Does the Nexus 6P support the new Wifi calling feature on ATT.

As per GSM arena it does support band 30 http://m.gsmarena.com/huawei_nexus_6p-7588.php.
As for WiFi calling, I hope so.

I posted the WIFI calling question on the ATT Forums. This is the response,
wifi calling will only be available on phones purchased thru ATT is what has been said. You cant get HDvoice on non ATT phones either nor the nexus 6 which ATT did sell. You can bring your own phone but ATT is not going to make some features available to you to use.
I believe the only device that supports wifi calling on AT&T is the iPhone at the moment..

So even though you can buy an iphone thru apple and get it actyivated on att....you get the all att's supported feature even though the phone wasnt bought from att? However the google phone does not get the same support? That would be discrimination wouldnt it?
Actually.....I just called and the CSR atteampt to manually enter the provision for wifi calling and HD voice and she said it didnt work because it said my phone wasnt capable of the wifi calling feature. And the way it works she claimed is you provision my phone to do wifi calling and it will automatically enable the HD voice feature in tandem....but it wouldnt go thru
Since my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 was updated to MM OTA with AT&T it now has wifi calling and HD voice. I was wondering if now since my Nexus 6P was updated to Nougat and it has everything needed for Wifi calling and HD voice is there a way to enable them now on AT&T?

Yes.
This has been discussed before but I'm still not 100% clear.
Can I buy an unlocked Galaxy s8 plus that comes from a different carrier (say Sprint) and flash the AT&T firmware to it, changing the carrier identity so that you get features like wifi calling and VoLTE?
Thanks!

Yes you could get it working with wifi calling and voice over LTE no problem but you got to make sure that if you get a phone like from Sprint/Verizon / T-Mobile unlocked before trying to carrier switching

Thanks for replying. So make sure I have this right.
If I purchase a Verizon/Tmo/sprint Galaxy s8 plus and put my AT&T sim in it and it activates on the network and allows me to make/take phone calls then I can assume that the device is unlocked. If it's carrier locked that should not work.
Yes that is correct but if you want to have all the AT&T features you must carrier switch following instructions here on XDA which will convert your Verizon/ Sprint S8 phone and to a completely AT&T phone

Riddle me this. I have a guy trying to trade me an S8+ att version for my OP5. He says it is unlocked. Can I flash unlocked firmware on it to get rid of any bloat and all the att stuff in the background that will be taking my data?
On the Verge of deciding which phone and WiFi calling is a factor.
I'm looking to buy a new unlocked g9750 SD55 s10 plus. Does it come with the option to use WiFi calling?
My network is ee in the UK who support device specific WiFi calling
Thanks team
the phone has wifi calling but its completely up to your carrier if they will provision that model for it or not... youd have to ask them with the model number and confirm

There was someone else on here that says it worked on 3 for wifi calling. There's a complete thread about that somewhere on here.
