Using whatever SMS app I want is a big selling point of Android. The fact that it's breaking third party apps including one as huge as Google Hangouts (which is installed on every single new Android phone on the market anymore) is really unacceptable. WiFi calling is a key selling point for me being on T-Mobile. To me, this is infuriating for a few reasons: There's a bit of detail in this thread here: In fact, some of us subscribe to T-Mobile exclusively for WiFi calling because of the fact that it alleviates the issue of having no signal! This isn't a fix for those of us living in buildings that block nearly all cellular signal. Textra is one app that has a fix, but the "fix" is to temporarily disable WiFi when sending/receiving MMS. Those apps don't have the necessary information required to send MMS when WiFi calling is enabled. If you're using an app like GoSMS, Textra, or even Google Hangouts, you'll be unable to send or receive MMS when connected to WiFi because of this. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a closed system. T-Mobile's wifi calling isn't just for calls - it's for SMS/MMS as well. If you're unable to send or receive MMS, and you're not using the stock messaging app, and you're a T-Mobile customer on WiFi, here's why: ![]() At first we couldn't figure out why MMS wasn't working until we finally realized it was ONLY a problem when connected to WiFi. Description below.Īfter a great deal of headache (several days of support phone calls, etc), I've finally gotten enough information together to diagnose this problem and arrive at a conclusion. I'd really like to get people to weigh in on this and convince T-Mobile to open things up.
