T-Mobile ending support for Wi-Fi Calling v1.0 on these phones
T-Mobile has sent out a text message to its customers who are still using older devices.
According to a Reddit thread, T-Mobile will be ending support to the version 1.0 of Wi-Fi Calling standard, which first came out in 2015. What this announcement means is that if you are a device user with Wi-Fi Calling version 1.0, you won’t get to use it anymore beginning May 30th.
There are 13 devices that will be affected by T-Mobile’s new announcement. These devices include the following:
-
Alcatel One Touch Pop Astro
-
Alcatel Fierce 2
-
Google Nexus 6
-
LG Optimus L70
-
LG Optimus L90
-
Microsoft Lumia 640
-
Samsung Galaxy Avant
-
Samsung Galaxy Exhibit
-
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
-
Samsung Galaxy S5
-
Samsung Galaxy S4
-
Samsung Galaxy S III LTE
-
ZTE Obsidian
In the message it sent out, T-Mobile advised affected users to visit this support page to learn more about the announcement.
If you are still using one of these phones with a T-Mobile, T-Mobile Prepaid, or Metro by T-Mobile SIM card, you can still use Wi-Fi to access the internet once the change has been implemented. But when it comes to making a call, it will be done over cellular network.
