I have an Xiaomi A1, Android One. I've tried 3, Giff Gaff and EE sim cards but none of them give me a WiFi calling option. I can find USA provider information but not UK. Does anyone know how I can get WiFi calling please without me sending for about 7 sim cards to try. TIA

No UK network currently supports the A1
Is there no way round it. I have no network signal where I live so my only option is WiFi calling.

There may be one option, I was with three and had almost no signal at home, I called them and they were able to help.
They sent me a box with a sim card in it, you plug the box into the router and it creates a mini cell tower in your house, all calls are routed over the internet while at home and it worked really well.
The box was sent to me free of charge, I had unlimited internet so there was no fees for the equipment r to use it.
It's worth a call to see if they still do them, I think they will only send them to contract customers rather than loose them, they probably won't send them to pay as you go sims.

Excellent, I'll give them a call. Thank you

Hello,
i have an galaxy S almost 6 months now and have tried it with a lot of different firmwares/modems but the problem persists.
I'm on a italian carrier called H3G or 3 and the carrier uses another network for support called TIM when the reception is not good.
My problem is that the transfer from 3 to TIM doesn't happen automaticaly and if i don't constantly look if i have reception it drains my battery really fast.
On my other phones and my friends phones (Nokia,iPhone...) it does this in automatic.
I know that there are some Galaxy S users from Italy with the same carrier.
Do you have the same problem?Have you solved it?
Thanks,Igor
Just a shot in the dark here, but would turning on roaming help?

If i enable "Data Roaming" and my phone goes to the support network TIM i would be charged roaming charges for the data. I can only use SMS and calling on their network with my monthly plan.I get the R near the network bars when i pass on their network.I really hope that that's not the problem because im screwed then.Thanks
Have you tried talking to 3 about this problem?
nope, they usually have crappy assistance...but will give it a try.Thanks
Never heard of Net10 til today. It's new in my area. Can I use an att Lumia 900 on it unlocked? It'd be a savior on the bill. What are your thoughts on net10 service?
Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express
From what I understand, Net10 phones only work with a sim card specific to that device. Swapping the sim cards wouldn't work. Straight talk is always an option since it uses GSM. It runs on t-mobiles network.

Isn't it the phone that's locked? Meaning bringing in an att sim would work?
ST uses either AT&T or T-mobiles network i think it depends which you choose to use

I don't think so. From what I was reading, unlocking it wouldn't matter. The sim card and the phone it was with other work together. You can't use an AT&T sim card in an Net10 phone or a Net10 sim card in an AT&T phone
That was what I got from a little researching. I could be wrong.
And ST is always an option as well. They have good plans and use GSM so swapping sim cards wouldn't be an issue.

I'm using the Galaxy Note with a NET10 sim.
Things you should be aware of:
1. Web access doesnt work if you are roaming
2. YOu can use a AT&T locked phone (as mine is locked)
Unlimited plan is really limited to your area code. ONce you cross the line you don't get to use data.
So you will be screw on your travels or work outside your area.
I just signed up. But wish I hadn't.

So the NET10 rep couldn't solve my web access problem on the Note BUT I've it working w/O their help.
IT works outside my area code and I get average 3G speed.
So you AT&T android phone doesn't have to be unlocked to be able to use NET10.
will you please tell us just how you managed to do this??
please post your settings....even your new APN settings if you had to make new..
thanks
.... don't leave us hanging..
thanks again
NET10 new plan
this my first post but i hope it help,
NET10 had just came up with there unlimited plan of $50 (talk,text and date (3G)) or $65 with all that + international calling to almost 50 countries, and they are saying on the SIM card kit, to bring your GSM unlocked or compatible phone , Iphone, Android, Smart phone.
and it should work, pop the sim in and follow the instructions.
I'm actually thinking seriously to switch to them after buying a AT&T HTC Vivid, thinking i'll be able to use with t-mobile 4G, to find the LTE Curse is on my Vivid.
i talked to a dealer of NET10 and he told me the NET10 uses both networks, and you are guaranteed to get 3G speed on any phone capable of having 3G speed.
this text is copied from NET10sim web page
"Use virtually any compatible or unlocked GSM phone with our NET10 SIM to get service on the best nationwide networks."
i got the sim, but it was 2 days after I paid for my t-mo for this month, I'll post my experience once I try it on my LTE cursed Vivid phone, and check the 3G service.
Hope this helped. :fingers-crossed:
If the phone doesnt get 1700/2100 for 3g then you will have to wait for the refarm.

So what happened???? I'm really considering switching to Net10 over At&t. It would save me about $30 a month, and give all my phone lines unlimited data not just mine.
I am using my NET10 micro-sim card (for AT&T) as part of their Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) sim card package in my new AT&T-branded Sony Xperia Ion (LT28at) that has been unlocked to carrier. I'm in a small area in western South Dakota that has AT&T coverage, and I am getting 4g speeds on the cellular service from my home. The reception is great, and you do get edge (2g) and 3g data while traveling outside your area, just not the highest speeds. I travel to Seattle frequently for business and can verify this. With prepaid monthly it is about $47.50 (with taxes) per month. HUGELY worth it after being 'chained' to Verizon for years and years!
im on a s4 non prepaid at&t phone using net 10 on the at&t network. no problems and i live in wautoma wisc.
Why cant I talk and use data at the same time? Is there anyway to fix this? Currently using 4g...
Worked perfectly on my HTC One X....

No.
4G/LTE is at the moment on most carriers in the world I believe a data only service. If you make a call, the phone will look for a 3g or 2g network to make a voice call on. If it goes to 3G then some carriers allow data and voice simultaneously, others dont.
At some point, some carriers will enable VoLTE (Voice over LTE) which should mean you can do Voice and Data at the same time.
As far as I am aware, the HTC One X isnt an LTE phone, so you were using 3G and the explanation lies above.
Mine is s4 non LTE version. And i cant talk with data connection at same time.
Can someone give the advice?

As above, your carrier may not support it. It may even be down to different configurations on the bts your connected too. Depending on the amount of backhaul to it, it may not be allowed. Some bts in a different area may be configured differently, or, as mentioned yor network doesn't support it at all.

I were using other phone with same simcard connection, and im able to do that multitasking (data and call with same time).
Just wondering is there any setting on s4, as i dont believe it because of my bts connection doesnt allow.
Btw Tomo, thanks for your advice.
My s4 i9505 on Three UK allows it. I often send whatsapp messages while on a call.

Mine on tmobile uk allows it sometimes but not all the time. That maybe down to differences in the Orange network that tmobile share.

Hello xda!
Okay, so I seem to have some very very bad issue with my brand new Nexus 4. It is currently on the latest JDQ39 radio, unlocked and rooted. So here''s where the actual issue lies.
So to make it a long story short, I bought the $30 prepaid plan on the walmart website. You know, called up T-Mobile activated it, plugged in my SIM card and all, I dial #BAL# and everything's how it should be! BUT.. I decide to send a text to inform a friend of my new number (coming from US Cellular) and it takes a good long while for it to actually send.. about 2 minutes.. I think to myself," Something's wrong.." so I decide to call a random person to make sure I've got my service. It says dialing, then "Call ended" every single time! Can anyone tell me if it's an APN Issue? Or what do I do! I am panicking! I need to have service..!!! My signal strength is -91dBm and 8 asu
It's set to WCDMA preferred, and I'm honestly lost and helpless.. HELP PLEASE!
I've also restored my stock nandroid!
Bump..

They put up a ticket, refreshed me on their tower, reconnected and disconnected, still not working. The only workaround was to use 2G only instead of actually taking advantage of the HSPA+ data. It bothers me but at least it works..

Try calling 1-877-789-3106. This is the T-Mobile porting department. I had a delay of 3 days trying to port my number from Verizon to T-Mobile. I called this number, and they were able resolve the issue right away.
Although the rep said it could take 24 hrs, I got a text msg that my number had been activated on T-Mobile as I was ending the call.
BTW, I am very happy that I switched! $30/month for 5GB of 4G data!

Hey guys, to all who are wondering... T-Mobile stores do have some stock of the blue Nexus 6 32gb today, didn't have an issue getting mine. I do have an account with a single line on T-Mobile that I do not use, so I used that account and paid for device in full ($650). Out of the box, it works great on Verizon. Voice quality is much better than Droid Turbo and iPhone 6+. Data speeds are strong (75mbps down & 30up) on LTE.
All I had to do to activate on Verizon was either let device self activate with Verizon SIM that takes about 5 minutes, or by going into Settings - More - Cellular and toggling Global mode.
The reason I made this thread is incase somebody who is like me and got tired of waiting for Google and Moto to have stock and wanted to purchase it via T-Mobile and use on another carrier. My friend works in a retail store and he said that even if you do not have an account with them, you can still buy you at full cost.
Does that mean its sim unlock?

if this works i think i will ask one of my boys who has t mobile to get me a phone out right.. i want the 64gb version tho..
My question is. Will Verizon whitelist the numbers from tmobile later down the line doh and block it from working on their towers. ?

Why would you do that? I have it set to LTE and it seems to keep onto an LTE signal longer compared to "Global" mode, which I would use if I was traveling overseas and inserted a local SIM into my device.
But wouldn't it lose signal if you leave lte coverage and drop to 3g? Since Verizon is CDMA.
