Wi-fi calling error?

[pappy53]

A friend of mine got a new Galaxy S2 today. A message keeps showing up that says "wifi calling errors...missing 911 address". When you pull down the notification panel. there is a little red phone icon next to the message (like a missed call icon). Anyone know what this is?

Can you provide a screenshot? I don't use TouchWiz anymore but I'm curious as to what this icon is.

I heard about it before I think it's because dey are not with T-Mobile dey might be with another company. Something else I've seen is dat ppl can't call 911 cus you have to first register or do something online I'm not sure I can't remember

You have to fix it on the T-Mobile side.

Log in to T-Mobile and go to "Manage" -> "Your Profile" -> "Customer Information" -- near the bottom you'll see a 911 address, just fill in your home address (your friend, of course) and then WiFi calling will work.

Maybe I'm having a blonde moment.but I am confused by this WIFI 911 address request. If I put in my home address, but i'm at work when I happen to call 911, are they going to send police to my home which is 45 minutes away from my work? Do I have to change the 911 address EVERY time I change locations? This seems exhausting.

I have the same problem I get this error over and over and I am with Metro PCS! I have a Samsung and I have no idea how to fix it or what it really means

Thank you. resolved my issue by going into the profile on Metro and updating the 911 address info. Thanks again.
