(I hope this is the right place to post this.)
I have an Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730, unlocked, rooted, Android 4.1.2 and, after moving internationally and inserting a new SIM card, have been hit by the bug/feature as discussed in the threads [1][2], that is I cannot set the new carriers SMS centre for the stock app in its settings menu, the sending of SMS fails with the message "sending failed, review message and retry".

As entering the telephone service menu with *#*#4636#*#* does not work, I was left with having to install Go SMS and set there a custom SMSC, which enables Go SMS to successfully send, however the stock messaging app does not recognize that setting. I find Go SMS annoying and want to force set the SMSC number for the stock app without having to enter the service menu. My phone is rooted.
Question: Is there a way to forcibly set the SMSC number (possibly PDU encoded) without going through any menus, or is there a way to access the service menu even if I cannot access it using the special code above?
Thanks in advance.

Standard Android supports internet calling; Call > Setting > Internet Calls
Samsung sometimes disable it in some regions via CSC feature.
/csc/features.xml : <CscFeature_Contact_EnableIPCall>true</CscFeature_Contact_EnableIPCall>
Enables SIP calls, but it doesn't seem to be working on my Note 4.
Do any of you have internet calling enabled? If yes, can you post your /csc/features.xml file?
Thanks.
anyone got a solution for this?

I can't download it from play ... i suspect it doesn't work on lollipop and the developer made the choice to block it for lollipop devices ...
i'll search the apk and try it ...
but i guess the apk is playing with the settings too, maybe someone could give a hint on what and where to change in the settings
thanx for the answer!
wifi sucks too since lollipop ...
Hi guys
internet call works fine on Note 4
if you create a contact with a SIP profile (like [email protected] - may be done online and synchronized) and try to call it then you receive an error and the setting to add any SIP accounts open. register and call works fine.
after my test i removed all SIP accounts in order to force the error again and enter the menu.
I guess if i don't remove all those accounts the the menu is vanished forever.
I wasn't able to activate the setting for allow to receive calls.
So...
It works but the menu-entries are disabled. Shame on you Samsung!
My hope One of you freaksters and androidteers can do something however to enable those two entries in the call settings menu.
live long and prosper
Ben
PS
You can remove the SIP accounts as long as you can open the setting in the "history" but better kill after your experiments
any news on this one ?

How do you manage to remove your SIP account ?
I manage to have SIP enabled with CSipSimple : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csipsimple
But the calls to mobiles don't work.
EDIT : Damned ! That was tough !
I managed to launch the SIP settings window with adb.
This is the command
Code:
adb shell am start -n "com.android.phone/com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings"
And you're done !
The settings window for adding an account is here. You can now delete/add acounts
You can install Quick Shortcuts Maker too. Look for "sip" in the normal search. There's only one answer.
But better, search for "account" and create a shortcut to Phone Account Settings. You can now choose to receive the calls, define which account must be used for calls, create/delete/modify accounts.
If you install Nova Launcher you can access loads of hidden functions, including Phone Account Settings. To do this you add a Nova widget called Activities, scroll down to Phone (third instance with 96 sub-entries), and from the list of sub-entries select Phone Account Settings. Then use the shortcut it creates to access SIP account settings, and voila.
How do you get to the SIP settings on this phone?
Any ideas?
Still the same problem with Android 8 -.-
I had this option on all Android phones so far. This phone is missing that. How is this stock Android?
Attached screenshot from A1 and Note 3
Same problem here. All my previous phones had this setting but this one has not.
Does it have something to do with dual sim?

No. Xiaomi removed that feature for some reason.
I've found a solution about a month ago, it works well.
install QuickShortcutMaker
click on "Ricerca incrementale" and select "Ricerca normale" (based on the Italian version of the app)
search "sip"
click on "sip settings" and next on the button "Provare" (maybe "Try" in english)
click on the button + on the top, configure your SIP account
uninstall QuickShortcutMaker

Works fine to add new SIP accounts but Xiaomi has removed other things such as choosing which account to use to make the call (works only with SIM accounts): a workaround is to duplicate an existing contact with only sip telephony.
I can not make call reception work. Any ideas?
I have the same problem, and I wonder if should I install another Phone apk that supports SIP.VOIP, and I wonder which apk?

On Oreo 8.1 August 2018 receiving SIP calls works fine for me.
My providers are sonetel and sipgate.
On the Xiaomi Mi A1 it is not possible to configure VOIP / SIP as described:
https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/2811843?hl=en
With the help of external tools I was able to set up a VOIP account in the A1
and got it to log into a SIP VOIP service provider.
-Install Activity Launcher from play store.
-Open the app and hit All activites from the drop down.
-Scroll down to Phone Services and open it
-Scroll down to SIP Settings open it
-This opens the settings dialog in which you add an account.
-Open the regular Phone Dialer and open Settings/Calling Accounts.
-Open All calling accounts and enable the account you added earlier.
Let me know if it works for you.

I did it exactly that way: no way to make incoming calls work.
When I enable the account previously added to "Calling Accounts" (Dialer / Settings), the account name is displayed twice while in "SIP Settings" it is written that call reception is not active.
My provider is local (account is created from a FritzBox) and i've Oreo 8.1 with August 2018 patch. (EDIT: my phone is not rooted.)
Thank you anyway

Unrooted phone here as well.
I get double listings as well - as I use 2 incoming accounts, the list shows 4 entries.
(Have you enabled the accounts by hitting "All calling accounts" and then set the respective switch on?)
It seems weird to me that you can't receive calls, as in SIP accounts both my accounts show the notification "Receiving calls".
And of course incoming calls ring fine.
I use these SIP accounts to receive incoming calls to int'l numbers both through my fritz!box 7490 as well as to my mobile when away from home.
Sonetel provides free trial accounts I think. Perhaps you try that.
Good luck!

There's an app "Galaxy SIP accounts" which helped me to enable outgoing SIP calls:
It makes my A1 stock dialer to ask whether to place a call through an inserted SIM or through a SIP account.
In other words: SIP incoming and outgoing calls can be enabled on the A1 without going through a 3rd party app.
So Xiaomi - why do you hide the stock settings menus???
After October security patches, dialing out even works better.
Before the latest update, the outgoing number had to be selected twice.
Now dial-out selection is like it should:
Thank you

Finally works! That app did the trick and enabled incoming calls. Thank you!

I just realized the SIP menu is now working!
Not sure when it was fixed (June update?).
Where do I find the setting for this. It's on my S10 but not on the tablet.
At my S8 mobile I had to open settings menu from pulling down status bar. Then I pressed the search icon. I typed in
SMS
The phone will be searching a while before it popups. I also found in phone:
Settings -/ Advanced -/ Allow others SMS and Call
And one of the options showed SMS control which happens also to be Call and SMS message continuity. It shows only other devices like your tablet S5e or Tab S6 that have the same Samsung account.
First configure your tablet and enable it at your tablet first! Then start at your mobile phone the instructions. The menu in your mobile is somewhat hidden for now.
After success try calling your voicemail e.g. from your tablet and see what your mobile phone does.
Both devices must be online. So actually you have to read this guide twice. Would be nice if others post here too if it for them also works.

security patch Dec 1, 2019
I've just performed a factory reset and then used Package Disabler Pro to disable alot of the bloatware that Samsung & Verizon send along. However, somewhere along the way I've disabled something that is causing the phone dialer app to not show. It doesn't show on my launcher, in the app tray nor on the app list in settings.
Further, if I open the contacts app and select someone I CAN call someone. I can also use Google Assistant to call someone.
So, the app is on the phone and it is working - it just isn't showing.
Anyone have any ideas?

Just a bit more. I exported my disabled list then enabled everything. The phone icon came back and works. I then redisabled my list and the icon stayed but I get a error message saying "All apps associated with this action have been turned off, blocked or are not installed"
After a bunch of trial & error it turned out to be the Samsung Contacts app. Enabled it & my phone app works again.
