Need help gettin new rom/ATT WiFI Calling to work on unlocked phone - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I have an S9+ unlocked and I am trying to get WiFi calling to work. I've tried a few different roms but no dice. I called ATT and they did what they could on their end but they couldn't get it working and escalated the ticket. I told them I was using an ATT branded phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it an att phone that was unlocked or is it a factory unlocked phone???
If its factory unlocked you are out of luck.

As Thor said, if you bought it from anywhere other than ATT, your out of luck. They only allow phones purchased through them to use Volte and Wifi Calling.
The one workaround is to activate the features on your line by using a different phone, and then swapping the sim to your S9/S9+. It's a trick that has worked for some but no telling if it still works.

Thanks fellas!
I still have my old ATT S7 Edge that WiFi calling worked on, so today or tomorrow I'm going to flash the S9+ to this, then put the sim card in the S7 Edge, use WiFi calling, then put it in the S9+ and see if that works. I appreciate the tips!

IT won't work until a week has passed or it will only work for a week?

It wont work beyond a week. Att queries the phone ever so often and when it does it will stop working. This is what I've read and been told. It used to work when it first came out for longer for some reason and now is down to a day to a week.

[Q] HTC thunderbolt on AT&T

I don't know if this question has been asked before, but is it possible to unlock the Thunderbolt to work on the AT&T network? I recently got a Thunderbolt from my friend who is on the verizon network, but I'm on the AT&T network, I would like to use this phone on AT&T, I love this phone too much.
No you can't because Verizon uses CDMA, AT&T uses GSM.

and just to clarify...the sims are completely different sizes/shapes to one another
Sell it and get yourself an Inspire, the closest you will get to a Thunderbolt on AT&T right now

Actually the sim's are the same size, I put the AT&T sim into it and its the same size.
I just wasn't sure if it was possible, there are a lot of Unlocking sites that claim to be able to unlock it using the IMEI number. So Im guessing its fake and that there is no way to unlock it.

I guess if there is no other way, might as well just try to sell it and get the inspire.

It can be unlocked to use on another CDMA x LTE provider, such as Metro PCS.
I was thinking they made the switch over to the micro ones... sorry i stand corrected on size
yeah, you can stick the sim in there all you want but it isn't going to convert an LTE or CDMA radio into a GSM radio with AT&T bands.

No signal

I unlock Galaxy Notes alot and this is the second one that does this. As soon as it unlocks it looses all cellular network and wont activate with any sim, not even att. I have tried apns (restoring and creating) Restoring with Odin and nothing works. Its as if its network bricked. The imei is there and original baseband. Someone please help...
Anyone??

Ok first you have give it time between posts...asking for assistance or info...you have give it time to get your issue's addressed...XDA is a world wide community...
have you taken it to your carrier to see if they can put in on the network,
you prob have to get you imei set with the carrier what carrier are you using, say verizon on your profile is this what you are using?
I had to do this with my carrier on a different phone, call them or go by the carrier store...
you said when you unlock it, it wont connect to att...is an att note...why you unlock it for an att sim? or am i not reading it right?
Thanks for the reply... I have spent so much time looking for a solution online and nothing... well I unlocked it for t-mobile first and got network unlock successful. Then that stupid circle stayed and never gave me signal. Now I dont care what carrier its on I just want it working but not even its original carrier will work (ATT). I called cellunlocker.net and they said to call att. i called att and they blew me off as well. I called att and they said its not unlockable?? what the heck does that mean?? its a gsm phone!! So now im stuck with no signal ever since i entered the unlock code.
Same
I was having same issues my apn came up with cingular. Ive never had them so im playing with those settings now...we will see if this helps

Cingular APN is OK. But you need to call at&t store and ask them to reprovision your sim so you can use LTE/4g network (if it's available).
When they change that (it doesn't change your rate plan) your APN will change to PTA.

When you unlock its a permanent change in your phone that let's you use any GSM carrier sim card.
You have to flash a modem compatible with the network. That is your base and number. For at&t the current modem is ULCF5, and its good for all North America, except T-Mobile, Wind(Canada).

how to get internet on this phone using gophone

currently I'm using T-Mobile which runs at edge speed. I got a ATT sim card but can't get the internet on the phone and i signed up for the 50 dollar plan which is unlimited everything. could some one link instructions on to get the internet on the phone. also is there a chance this phone will get 4g on it? right now i have att, tmobile, and simple plan sim cards. i saw something about straight talk being on att in the forum. what's the easiest solution?

Simple answer, you can't.
Long discussion as to why you can't is here.

Yes you can but it wont be 4g nor LTE, just a 3g .I've been using gophone for the past 8 months with the I9100, the Note, the nexus, the one x and now the S3. OP, in addition to the 50$ a month's you have to add a data package.
http://m.androidcentral.com/att-introduces-new-data-plans-gophone-customers
I'm using the 25$ for 1gig of data. Once you purchased that you have to enter the following apn under mobile network settings:

}
Then your data will work. It has to be the I9300 not the carriers S3 version. Any other unlocked, unbranded smartphone would also be fine.

Is the international version sgs iii 3g only?

So if I'm reading your chart correctly, the international version is not capable of working with any kind of 4g. ? I'm hoping this is the case as I bought one and in order for it to work on my companies plan it needs to be a 3g phone only

Yes. Correct.
There is an upgraded version of this phone, with Double the ram and 4G, but that is the I9305.

Perfect thanks. I have a company issued at&t blackberry curve 3g that I removed the Sim out of and use in my captivate. tried to upgrade that to the infuse long while back but found out it would not work because it was 4g .Long story short, my company would not update my plan to 4g to allow the infuse to work as my company doesn't authorize the use of Android devices. Did some research on international versions and figure I would try one more time. Hope it works out I have a 500 dollar paperweight again that I gave to try and sell and will be back to being stuck with my captivate. Not that that's a bad thing.

not like many carriers have passed 21mbps , or people really need more than that. they data plans are capped
This is why they haven't released jellybean yet
http://samsunggalaxys2review.org/samsung-galaxy-s3-to-be-re-released-in-uk-with-lte/
Well the S3 phone came in today. Now I am just waiting for the Sim card cutter to come so I can out my captivate Sim in it and find out if I have data

[Q] My One never connects to LTE while my wife's S4 connects fine

Hi everyone,
I have a prepaid plan on my T-Mobile One PN07130, updated to 4.4.2 last night as well. It will not connect to LTE, only up to UMTS/H+. My wife's S4 right next to it is connected to LTE with no problem.
The network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, my APN is identical to my wife's S4.
Any idea what it might be?
Thanks!
Take out SIM card and put it back in and restart the phone. If that doesn't work you can do a factory data reset.

The only thing i can think of is APN settings.
Double check them and make sure its exact.
I once made a mistake of putting fast-t_mobile.com and another time put fast.t_moble.com
Thanks guys for the input but I've tried these as well as verified settings.
What I did find different is that her S4 has the network modes listed as LTE/WCDMA/GSM while my One is listing GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Does it mean LTE is used last?
I think I'll just stop by a T-Mo store and see if they can figure it out.
If I have any findings I'll report back.
Mine is listed the same way.

The order they are listed doesnt have anyhting to do with priority.
LTE will always be given higher priority, then WCDMA then GSM.
Your wifes phone is a Samsung phone so they list them differently.. but the priorities are the same.
I see. Mine was activated fresh while my wife's S4 was activated by porting her number from Verizon. I wonder if she has some kind of provisions on her account that I don't have, therefore she gets LTE while I don't...
I'm hoping to get to a T-Mo store today and get this sorted out.
have you tried calling T-Mobile?
Ha, so I went to a local T-Mo store, the guy looked at the phone, rebooted, checked APN and all other mobile settings. He said all looks good, but no LTE.
He said, lemme go to the back and get a new SIM card. He scanned it into the system, put it in, and BAM! LTE right away!
The SIM I had in there, I purchased directly from T-Mobile, so was my wife's SIM. He said the SIM apparently wasn't capable of LTE... Never heard of such thing.
Anyway, I'm a happy camper now
Thanks all for the suggestions!
Glad its working. Probably a glitch in the system during initial set up. Now that the rep replaced your SIM the system reset its self and all is good..
