Can I set up tmobile wifi to use magicjack server?

Post by vandido626 »

So I have a tmobile phone with wifi calling. In theory I should be able to configure my phone to use the MJ servers and make calls. Does anyone know if this is possible?

No, not even theoretically. T-mobile's WiFi calling isn't VoIP, like MagicJack, but is "UMA", or "Unlicensed Mobile Access." It sends the actual T-Mobile GSM (cellular) packets over the internet instead of to a cell tower- it's GSM over IP, or "GoIP" ;-) This is how it can seamlessly handoff between cellulaur and WiFi without dropping the call.
