- I've been using a Sennheiser Presence BT for a few months now. It is excellent. It has a rather large driver so the music, albeit one eared, sounds good. The MEMS microphones don't pop or have wind noise issues.

- AAD442, according to a new owner, and TMO's support documentation.
Posted via CB1001-26-16 02:34 PMLike 0 - I read the specs on TMO website today and no mention about WiFi calling! I am ready to give up on my PP and try the Priv only if WiFi calling is supported or when it is going to be.

- It's great to have internationally as well. With the newer plans, you get unlimited 2G or better in a lot of overseas destinations, and with the WiFi calling option, it becomes even harder to justify taking the T-Mobile SIM card out and buying a local one.Wikichick likes this.01-27-16 11:28 AMLike 1

Once the industry shifts entirely to IMS, you could see the demise of towers and an increase in small cells, micro cells and wifi-calling. Towers are dinosaurs; expensive to maintain, a pain to install and unsightly. Kiss 'em goodbye.01-27-16 12:01 PMLike 0 -
I guess what I'm asking is that is call traffic over WFC secured better by TMO than it is over their towers? What about text messages?01-27-16 12:52 PMLike 0 - Provided the traffic is reasonably secured (and I'm willing to bet that the gov/mil went beyond 'reasonable,' to make sure) isn't WFC a safer solution than tower-based calling, you know...with the existence of Stingray types of devices and all? I guess fake WiFi networks could be an issue, but, again, if the content is secured, it shouldn't matter too much?

Posted via CB1001-27-16 01:06 PMLike 0 - I'm not entirely sure on that. Because WiFi and wireless is not secured at all. We aren't even allowed to use wireless mice and keyboards or blue tooth due to the possibility of being hacked or vulnerable. And electronic devices are not allowed in any briefing that includes secret or top secret briefings. If someone is in a hardened bunker they would have access to secure land lines. Now I could see them using WiFi calling for when they do world travel to keep costs down. But I'm the equipment custodian for my squadron in the air force and deal with all the iPhones and can tell you now that Verizon and ATT are the only authorized carriers atm. Sprint used to have the contract but we're breaching it hardcore with some shady billing and other stuff (go figure) so we just swapped to Verizon.

Nellis is an interesting case since they have wifi for mechanics to order parts, but otherwise wifi is not allowed. They ran an article a few years ago about the poor dude that has to survey the base searching for illegal wifi.

I will head to TMO later this weekend to check it out.

But to even see it we load special software to make it visible. Then you have to use your CAC to actually log into the domain. I think they use cerberus to authenticate. I actually setup all the laptops the maintainers use. The WiFi is full base network access but as I said. There is a lot that goes into that. DRA has to have the computer loaded into it and then the device has to be added to the domain by an administrator. The user obviously has to have a user account created and so on and so forth.

Back in the day before cellular data was so fast, lots of wifi sniffing went on. Or in the case of TMobile, I've made the occasional phone call over someone's open wifi, parking by their house.
Every once in a while, I will do the old war driving thing. Occasionally you will spot some weird wifi relay (point to point). Some utility poles have wifi for telemtey.
Even in areas where wifi is banned, people often forget to turn off their wifi on their clients. If you set up your wifi for auto-connect, it will ping out a request to every SSID that is enabled. This is terrible for security. For one thing, somebody could just spoof a Starbucks SSID to which you will connect. For another, the list of SSIDs is a record of places you frequent. Lastly your MAC can be logged, which makes you trackable/detectable.

- Well you could "see" the Nellis MX wifi with kismet. I have no doubt it is locked down. The signal itself goes well off base.

Networks->wifi->saved
Then if the SSID indicates enabled, you can either delete it or select edit, then disable and save.
I pentest my own gear, which is how I discovered the saved SSID blabbing.
I suggest getting the Android app Fing. It works fine on bb10. Most wifi in businesses isolate the clients. Some mom and pop motels set up a piece of netgear wifi where everyone is connected. If you run Fing and see other people on the network, think twice about doing anything financial.

SMS is a different animal altogether. It's not considered a secure protocol regardless of how it's transmitted. It sits on servers too long even after a successful delivery flag is returned. There are better options for smoke signals.01-28-16 07:19 PMLike 0
