One of the reasons I chose to use Project Fi is that I wanted to make phone calls and texts from my home, that is not served by T-Mobile my previous carrier. I was getting a small amount of signal, with an "R" on top of it. I assumed it meant rooming, and it must have been Sprint.
In any case I was unable to make or receive calls. Part of the problem appeared to be that my Google Hangout was out of date and all attempts to update it failed.
My first break came the second day when I went to a Medical appointment in town and had a strong Lte signal. I updated Hangout and the rest of my apps quickly. I was also able to call out.
The updated Hangout now showed Project Fi settings and was 3.3 the latest.
I was able to make calls out, but not receive call in. After additional contact with support I turned off/on Airplane mode without success. I then powered off and on, and that helped. I was able to receive calls but not consistently.
It was still not delivering on the promise of WiFi calling. I just tested it again. I call my N6 using my home phone. The call went through, but when I answered it there was no response, and my home phone continued to ring, then forwarded to it's answering machine. My home phone is one of the numbers that Google Voice(Hangout) forwards calls to.
I am hoping time will solve these issues, but anyone has suggestions I am all ears.
