Can I make voice calls when the wi-fi is active?
- just got my bold yesterday. earlier today, when i tried to make a call while wi-fi was on and connected, it wouldn't go through. likewise, when someone tried to call me when wi-fi was on, they went straight to voicemail. i tested it when i got home and same thing...wi-fi on, no voice. wi-fi off, voice calls work just fine.
the only think i can think of is that i have skype installed but not logged in yet, so maybe it's trying to make calls that way? i'm going to be kinda bummed if i have to turn off wi-fi to use the phone.06-24-10 07:03 PMLike 0 - Yes, but Verizon does not support UMA... On Verizon the mobile network has to be enabled to make calls. T-Mobile is the only CONUS provider that supports UMA calling.06-24-10 08:05 PMLike 0
- Yes, with wifi enabled you can still make / receive calls as normal regardless of what you are doing, browsing, emailing, texting etc. What's awesome is you can now use voice and data over wifi at the same time. (one of my FAVORITE features on this device)06-24-10 08:11 PMLike 0

Its amazing in that you program the cell tower in conjuntion with the wifi hotspot you want your phone connected to (e.g. home or work) and the app turns on wifi only when you are within that cell site, then once you walk into the hotspot, WALA! wifi without you ever having to do anything. So when a call comes in while im home, data and voice together is a constant thing! Very very cool! Then it saves your battery and turns off the wifi as soon as you enter a different cell site06-25-10 12:59 AMLike 0
- I use my Bolt Browser/UZard/Opera Mini while using the phone with/without wifi.
It's faster and reliable.06-25-10 01:08 AMLike 0 -
