    Verizon vs Samsung unlocked

    Well, from what I have read and been told, most of that stuff should be workable with alternatives. Google Voice can be setup with call forwarding to have the equivalent of Visual VM for free, Google Duo can be used for video calls (although I don't know if or how it would work with someone who...

    Well for those who are curious...from someone who answered my questions on another forum and who is using a US unlocked Samsung S8 on VZ... - WiFi calling does NOT work - Visual Voicemail with VZ does NOT work and does NOT notify you, although you can setup a Google Voice number and forward...

    Verizon vs Samsung unlocked

    Interesting. I had already read both of those articles actually. The one thing I generally saw when I was trying to research it several times was that WiFi calling does not work with the S8s. That is why I am trying to confirm what does and doesn't, especially with someone who has one on the...

    Verizon vs Samsung unlocked

    Man I have spent a ton of time looking around and can't seem to find all definitive answers. For those who have used the Samsung unlocked version on Verizon (not the Verizon unlocked one), can they confirm or deny the following? - WiFi Calling does NOT work on VZ with the unlocked version -...

    [Instruction] How to get a new phone and keep (legacy) Unlimited Data on Verizon

    Re: [Instruction] How to Keep Unlimited Data on Verizon I can't order online from BB. When I try and transfer the upgrade from my UDP line to my basic line (which does not have an upgrade), it will not do it. I checked on VZW and I have an early edge offer on that basic line, which I have...

    talk to text in messaging?

    OK. I wonder what the generic Internet that I saw in screenshots was? I guess I will try to get used to Chrome. I am used to the stock Android browser that was included in my Razr Maxx and other phones.

    Fixed the talk to text. I had accidentally disabled Google search. Turning it back on fixed it.

    talk to text in messaging?

    Yeah the Google voice input just isn't there. There is no browser listing under application defaults. .. nowhere to remove chrome. I have seen pictures where it just says "Internet" with a globe icon instead of chrome.

    talk to text in messaging?

    I never removed the browser. .. just had chrome by default. There is no voice option in settings. I looked and can't find anything annoy voice input like on other phones.

    talk to text in messaging?

    My old Motorola used to have a microphone icon on the keyboard when texting, and I believe the s4 had it so you could talk to text. For the life of me, I cannot find a way to do that on the s5. If I make swype the default input, I get a keyboard that has a mic, but it doesn't do anything...
