I'm a little confused about wifi calling. I'm on US99830B using a Straight talk sim. I found out they offer wifi calling now. I just need a new sim from them. But, does it work with the version of Pie that I'm on? I thought I read that it didn't but I see others saying it does.

Straight Talk what? Straight Talk AT&T, Straight Talk Verizon, Straight Talk T-mobile, Straight Talk Sprint?
You can't just say Straight Talk. Straight Talk uses underlying carriers and many options depend on those carriers. For instance, since T-mobile allows Wi-Fi calling on US998 (which is NOT a T-mobile branded phone), any Straight Talk T-mobile account would probably also have Wi-Fi calling.
But since AT&T does NOT allow Wi-Fi calling on non-AT&T branded phones, then neither will Straight Talk AT&T.
So, you need to find out what particular carrier your Straight Talk SIM card is using, if you don't already know. There are codes and colors that will tell you that. Straight Talk will tell you if you ask hard enough. They like to pretend they are this standalone company, but they are just re-selling the 4 major carrier services but with lower prioritization and adding lag.
I used to have Straight Talk AT&T and eventually dumped them to go to what is now AT&T Prepaid. I was already using AT&T carrier services and the part that kept screwing up was Straight Talk's fault. So, I cut out the middleman.
You're right, I forgot to mention that. It's ATT

Don't think so, since it's not an AT&T branded phone. (For some reasons iPhones or at least some iPhones seem to be an exception.)
But check this link. It's for all Tracfone companies.
Good luck.

The link tells me exactly what I said. I would need a new sim card. But, my question was is wifi calling even working on US99830B?

Yeah, T-Mobile allows it. Not sure AT&T does. I know it doesn't on AT&T Prepaid on US998.

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).

I'm thinking of buying this phone and dumping a blackberry...but I rely on WfiCalling for my phone signal.
I have read one thread related to Orange where the guys couldn't get it going.
Anybody hear of this function working on GS3??
I'm on tmobile in the USA and there is no wifi calling options in my menus like USA tmobile branded phones usually have (not that i've found anyone with a US GS3 to see if they have it) so my opinion thus far is there is no wifi calling option on the i9300 used in the US on tmobile.

Hint" Posted by a t989"? You obviously have a I9300 which doesn't have wifi calling (t-mobile USA one)
You may be referring to Internet calling, which you use a sip to make calls or receive calls. I don't think any UK version has wifi calling, correct me if im wrong.
Edit: I was wrong, Orange has a feature calling Signal Boost.
www2.orange.co.uk/servlet/Satellite?c=OUKService&pagename=OUKPersonal&cid=1306843176798
UMA/ Signal boost are the same basically
One is hardware based and can carry the call from wifi to cell (UMA) the other cannot do the hand over and is software based (WIFI CALLING)
However only ONE carrier per country is allowed to have it. as I know the they are:
T-Mobile USA
ORANGE UK
Orange FR
Is that USA T-mobile S3 Hacked to allow wifi calling?

Only thing is the S3 isn't supported by orange signal boost.

So Answer is a Clear NO?
No wifi calling or UMA on the S3?
Thats really too bad
(Please note this has nothing to do with SIP clients etc.)
Hoping for a hack
It's been two years already. Most people are enjoying CM12 on their gear s and others are still looking for root on the att version. Anyone working on this?

I very much doubt it since the one that is able to be rooted only has one developer. Unless some new dev faces show up in here.

You could always do what I did and sell the At&t version to buy the Tmobile version. Then just buy the sim unlock code on ebay for a few bucks, pop in your At&t sim. Wash, rinse, repeat...

I've been looking at that K9 also. Like I need another smart watch. I already have 9 others, but the pursuit of perfection is fun. Does the K9 actually have true 1900mhz 3G in the US like another poster stated?
Att works just fine. Not sure about tmobile

Would you mind installing the speedtest.net app and running a test? If you are getting 3G speeds with AT&T then it should work the same with Tmobile. I'm just confused because the specs on the Gearbest site say that its frequency is: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 850/2100MHz. Which would mean that it gets the pokey slow 2G edge speeds in the US. As far as I know the WCDMA needs to be 1900MHz for it to work with US 3G/4G networks.
Right now the watches are on the way to Maryland. I dropshipped them from everbuying to a customer on ebay. The customer said they didn't work so I had them shipped to me and it turned out their tmobile Sims weren't activated. I used my att Sim from my gears and it said 3g. I don't know about speed but I do have a picture of it showing 3g. When the customer gets them I'll have them do speed test and I'll report on here.

What the watches actually look like. I'll post the 3g pic when the customer sends it back to me. Think I accidently deleted it.

HELP W/ VERIZON. PORSCHE DESIGN DUAL SIM, INTERNET WORKS. BUT PHONE CALL DOESN'T?
I GOT THE APN WORKING... but phone just freezes..
I am on 129 and BLA-L29.
Wondering if I need to rebrand to turn on VOLTE for phone call to work?
not sure if it will work my friend. the phone does not have cdma.
So data is not based on CDMA? Cause I got data to work?
Also, before they cancelled the agreement, AT&T and Verizon was planning to sell huawei phones, i dont think they would engineer 2 versions of the phone? Only single sim and dual rim, maybe re branding?

Data is not CDMA - it's LTE.
The only way it would work for calls is if you could get VoLTE working.
Huawei did actually make a different (hardware-wise) phone for the US market. But it's not for CDMA networks. We never found proof that there was a verizon Mate 10 Pro, only AT&T.
I know verizon turns on VoLTE by default.
The phone itself should support it on Tmobile or AT&T.
So I wonder if i rebrand with a dual sim, would it work?
Has anyone tried a USA rebrand from a international dual sim?
Or how to activate VoLTE for sure in the mate 10 pro
So I checked the VoLTE and it’s provisioned on the phone as well as HD calling and video calling features.
Next I checked with Verizon and the feature is turned on? So what am I missing??

did you ever get it to work? are you able to make calls?
no, it seems like the VoLTE provisioned jumps back to off when it connects to Verizon. I called Verizon, and they said it's trying to connect on voice. VoLTE is on Verizon and the phone's hardware is capable.
It's really weird, since I bought the phone after PORSCHE DESIGN store had one from Europe dual sim one. They are the ones that told me everything works. I wanted to try it with a Verizon sim there, but they said they couldn't let me try it!
so I have one plus 5 which has the band for Verizon LTE, it connected to LTE and falls back to 3G, calls and internet on 3G.
Mi Mix2 works with VoLTE with Verizon, the APN all populated automatically with Verzion. But I don't think Mi had Verizon certified their devices. but Mix 2 works with Verizon LTE... I will try to take pictures. another phone is ZTE that works with Verizon .. but it's ugly.

Late to the party here, but have you tried calling Verizon and have them turn off CDMA Provisioning for your account? I had to do that with my HTC U11 since it doesn't have any CDMA radios. It's a pure LTE-only phone.
I had someone on here remote unlock my Xfinity s9+. I put in a different sim, enter the code and it says successfully unlocked. Is this the only type of unlock it needs?
Someone asked me if it's network unlocked or sim unlocked. I'm noticing it's all listing Xfinity under all the carrier info, such as, the notification bar and under mobile settings. I am using the phone with straight talk.
Both the Verizon compatible and TMobile compatible sims work. But service cuts out often and kind of sucks.
Can the carrier re-lock it if it goes unpaid? Any info would be great. Also is there a way to remove the Xfinity boot screen?
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Without root you're stuck with the boot screen for whatever carrier firmware you have installed..
Surprised the Verizon sim is giving you issues since that's who Xfinity uses for their network.
Are you really saving that much using Straight Talk over Xfinity? I mean I pay $45 for unlimited.
Both are giving me issues. Now today I'm not able to recieve calls. When I did recieve a call, I could hear her, but not vice versa. I don't believe there is a way to root this particular model?

Flash the Unlocked stock rom, that way it has the correct CSC (TFN) for TracFone NVNOs and it will say Verizon for the carrier.
