General :: Calling / Texting Over 3G / WiFi?

Dec 29, 2011

I just wanted to ask what types of solutions are most successful for calling and texting using a 3G/wifi connection.

I'm going to Canada tomorrow and Verizon said that 3G is included in my plan but regular texting/calling is extra when out of the country.

I want to be able to make/receive calls from my friends in Canada with me AND be able to communicate with friends still in the states without any of us incurring further charges.

My assumption is that I will need to utilize apps that work with Google Voice. I don't believe the native GV app handles texts or calls itself though.

I've seen GrooVe IP mentioned for VOIP style calling with Google Voice (gchat?).

I've seen Kakaotalk mentioned for texting, I want non-smartphone users to be able to text me too..

HTC Desire :: Duplicate Contacts When Texting / Calling?

Jul 2, 2010

I got myself an HTC Desire the other day and so far I'm pretty much in love. However! In my contacts, I've got it set to only show Phone contacts, and I've hidden Sim/Gmail contacts. I've also linked all my contacts with their Facebook profiles. So in my contacts list (People), it's fine. However, when I go to messaging and start typing a name in the To field, there's a duplicate of everyone. As far as I can see, there's no similar "hide SIM" option etc for the texting/calling, so I'm just wondering how to sort this? I saw someone to try deleting all phone contacts and just using your SIM contacts but to be honest I'd rather not do this, since I like to just use my SIM contacts as a basic backup if you get me.

General :: MMS Over WiFi Calling Via 3rd Party App?

Dec 12, 2013

Has used a 3rd party SMS/MMS application (ie Handcent, GoSMS, Textra, 8sms, etc etc) to use send/receive MMS over WiFi Calling WITHOUT ANY DATA? I'm in an area where I can only use WFC, and all of my 3rd party SMS apps simply will not send or receive MMS over WiFi Calling without using the stock app.

And I repeat, NO DATA, no wifi = no service, so if you have a solution, make sure it's not quietly turning on data, sending the MMS, then going back to wifi, because that's not going to work as there is no cell service in this location.

General :: Texting Over WiFi With Own Number (recent Convert From IPhone)

Sep 24, 2013

I just moved over from the iphone, one of the things I miss is imessenger. Mainly because I get almost no signal and it can send out most texts through my wifi connection. I want to be able to use my number and I don't want to have to have all my friend install a special app. But I don't mind paying a few dollars for the app or a even a small monthly fee.

Android :: Confused About WiFi Calling

Nov 5, 2010

I have T-Mobile, with the old Hotspot@Home billing feature that gives me unlimited UMA minutes (used to have two blackberries and used UMA a lot). I have really missed this with my Nexus One. With TMO rolling out Kineto's application for "WiFi Calling" I am trying to figure out what is possible for my Nexus One, currently at Android 2.2.1 (FRG85).Is the Kineto deal only going to be for TMO builds of Android? I have read that Kineto's business model is to not sell direct, hence no availability in the Market. Since my Nexus One gets its Android system updates independently, this would mean I can never get an update with Kineto built-in, right? If I were able to install Kineto, would it look like UMA to TMO so the calls would be covered under my unlimited H@H plan? Any bright ideas on how I can get WiFi Calling (the TMO supported plan that uses my TMO number, not some SIP implementation or Google Voice)? I prefer not to root, but if I have to root to get UMA, I will.

Samsung Vibrant :: Vibrant Connect To Wifi / Use It For Data / Calling?

Nov 13, 2010

This may seem like a really dumb question but I have been told several different things by several different people who should know. Does the Vibrant connect to a Wi-Fi and use it for data and calling? I have a Blackberry Curve at present and I have no reception inside my house. I connect my Curve to my Wi-Fi network and can do all data things and talk with zero dropped calls. I'm hoping to be able to do this with the Vibrant. If I can't I will have to consider another phone (I can't live with no reception in my house). I don't care if I can tether from it, I just need ot be able to use the Wi-Fi for data and calls on the handset.

General :: Use Of Default Contact When Texting?

Mar 13, 2012

when I send a text to a contact, I type the name in the search and choose the contact. For some contacts that works great. For some, when I select them it sends an email and not a text. I have verified for those contacts that the phone number is set as default - is there something else i can do other than create 1 contact for phone and another for email?

Am using the default text and contacts apps

General :: New Phone For Mass Texting

Dec 31, 2012

I'm looking to upgrade my phone. Aside from normal phone use my main goal is to get a phone that will send a text message to a very large group of people all at once. My current phone Samsung Epic 4g Touch will do this but i have to create the message and then from the address box go to the group and one by one touch in each member (almost 200 in the group). I have my groups already but i would like to just add the whole group all at once. I don't care about the responses being in the same thread or anything else, I just want to add the group all at once to the address box.

General :: Texting In Non-predictive Mode - Using One Key Twice In A Row

Sep 13, 2013

I'm finding one particular feature of texting on my S3 mini difficult...It occurs mostly when using non-predictive, which would be fine since I primarily use predictive. But also is an issue when using the ",.?" key (numeric 1) in predictive too.

If I need to use two letters in a row which are on the same numeric key, there's a really long pause before the phone accepts the letter and allows you to re-use the same key for the next letter. Is there any way to speed this up or skip the pause in some way? On old-school phones you could just press > (or whatever key is used to move forward a space - not space bar tho) to skip the process. But nothing works on the S3 mini.

Any way round this or is it just a thing I have to put up with? For e.g. it's particularly annoying when I want to use two question marks in a row "??"....

General :: Texting And Emailing Videos On HTC One?

May 22, 2013

After owning every model of the iPhone, I bought an HTC One several weeks ago. There are *so* many things I love about this phone and I don't see going back to an iPhone until such time as Apply starts innovating again.

Anyway, there is one thing that I am having issues with. Maybe it's an HTC thing. Maybe it's a Gmail thing. Maybe it's an Android thing. I was able to email and text good quality videos from my iPhone. When I emailed them, the videos were HD quality; just as they were taken. When I texted them, the phone compressed them before sending but the quality was still excellent after compression. On my HTC One, I always get an error message saying the file size is too big when I attempt to attach a video file. The only way to text videos is to change video quality to MMS (176 x 144) which, as you can imagine, looks like shiznit.

General :: Limit Contacts That Show When Texting

Feb 7, 2012

When I start a new thread for sending a text, I look up the person in my contact list. The problem is that for some people I have multiple points of contact. (ie cell phone, home phone, fax, email address) Let's say that I want to text a person named Jason. If I have 6 people in my contact list named Jason, by the time I type in the 5 letters in Jason (I haven't limited it by their last name yet) I could still have 24 contacts, if every one of those Jason's had a cell, home, fax, and email in my contact list.

Is it possible to have my phone or the settings on my contact list or settings in my texting/messaging application set so that only mobile phones show up in the contact list when Im IN the texting application?

Even if there is a unique name I don't like having to select that person's cell number contact - as opposed to their email, fax, or home contact when I just want to send a quick text.

General :: Broke Voice Recognition While Texting?

Sep 12, 2013

For 2 years I've said a few words, waited for the droid to process them, said a few more words, waited, etc. About a month ago something happened such that if I pause in my speech, what I say next deletes everything I've said before and starts over.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. To say this is braindead is an understatement.

I can adjust to just say what I want to text, but heaven forbid I pause a second or so to gather my thoughts.

General :: Photos Distort When Emailing Or Texting?

May 13, 2013

Every time I upload a pic, text, or email from my Droid Razr the pic is stretched horizontally. The pics look fine on my phone, but when I look at them on any other device it's as if the vertical dimensions are reduced by about 25% (or horizontally increased)

I've changed all the normal settings for the default camera and played with them all, nothing works. Only thing I can do is upload pics to my desktop and use an image editor to increase the vertical size about 25%, which is very tedious and frustrating.
