Hello to all XDA members who will see this thread.
I create this thread to ask to anyone if there is an app or EVERYTHING my girlfreind and me we can use.
We both have a Samsung Galaxy Y. Or might she have a Y duos / Gio... I don't really know...
I live in France, She lives in Tunisia. My phone have no data, only Wifi and unlimited text messages to phone with is located in France, if i call her it's really expensive ~ 1€ per minutes...
Her phone have no wifi, no Data, she only can access to Facebook because of her operator who allow her to. She can send messages and call like me, it's very expensive for her, she's sometimes on Skype when her parents allows her to use her computer.
In brief : we would like to call each other in unlimited. But what can we use ? I already tried to install " Viber " on her phone but we she lunch it it's says " network error "
I need help of everybody; i really want to call her everytime i want to call her everytime i can, soon it will be our relationship birthay ( Years.. ) if i can call her in unlimited that will be a good present...
Anyway, sorry for this long story, but thanks to everybody !

well if her phone has no wifi or data its impossible for free in an unlimited way - how else are you meant to contact each other than by a normal phone call/txt?
if she had wifi/data you can use whatsapp for messenging and skype for calls
you can however use skype to call landline phone numbers cheaper then using a normal phone line - you will need to buy credits - check on skype website for costs

Sell your phone and buy a Gigabyte GSmart or a Nokia Symbian phone instead!
This is not possible on HTC's Pocket PC phones.
LOL im new to the Hermes world but im quite glad and amused to see such posts about the elusive answering machine happening down here.

it is impossible on Hermes, but it might be possible with Prophet. Prophet can record conversations (both side), and it can automatically pick up the phone, so if someone finds a way to play a sound for the other party, then we have an answering machine!
Depends on your definition of answering machine.
I've acomplished this, somewhat.
Get a service like CallWave that can forward voicemail to an email attachment, notification via SMS.
Sign up for AIM email (2gb). Link to that in Pocket outlook. Send receive when u text a txt indicating that you have a new VM.
caveats: REQUIRES LARGE DATA XFER plan. It IS an answering machine in the sense that your vm will play out of the speaker. -- unless you have a wired headset or get A2DP. I had a problem with AIM mail not receiving emails from one of my providers. Workaround: GMAIL forwards to AIM.
I prefer aim for this cos it allows IMAP, incase you want to set up your other, non hermes devices to "read" you voicemails.
HTH
EDIT:
OR u can even set to do this for a PUSH email acct. This way, lets say u miss a call, and you don't see it until much later... by the time u look at it, email w. attachment will already be sitting in the inbox, waiting.
or just use the answering machine most telcos offer with the plan you sign up with, its what i use.
i did like the one on nokia, that and the app that puts sounds into the background of your call but Pocket pc has soooo many other cool features its easy to overlook these.

That one is not free with many operators in your home country (I for instance pay the air time for listenimg to recorded calls) and THREE times the money as an onboard solution when roaming (roaming with onboard: you pay 1 time the roaming fee (you pay the call being forwarded to the country you roam in) / roaming with your solution: You pay the call being forwarded to the country you roam in, then pay for having the call routed back to your home country where the AM is and finally pay for listening to the message).

. . . one more thing: operators' voice mail doesn't allow fancy stuff like diverting some people to voice mail, others to /dev/null (busy tone). This you can do with Symbian-based software like SmartAnswer. I wouldn't expect anything less from WM5-based apps.
Why I Secretary can’t mute the microphone of my xperia x1 and why the caller can’t hear my answer message
How can I fix this using registry or any tweak tool for windows mobile 6.1

Hi Everybody!
I own an ICONIA A501 since 4 days and I love it!
Since I use a prepaid account to connect to the internet (vodafone.de) I want to recharge that account with some money as soon as it go towards zero Euros...
Well, in order to do that I have to buy some voucher and then call a number (which is free of charge). And here the problems begin:
I need to be able to place calls with a dialer so that I can enter the code on the voucher. As far as I discovered there are no such apps on the A501.
Then I installed some USSD code apps but they didn't work, just like the app "myDialer lite". I can dial but then nothing happens.
Correct me if I am wrong but did Google/Acer simply forget that there are users out there which do not have data plans but prepaid accounts?
I don't want to use my A501 like a Smartphone! For that purpose I have and love my Galaxy I9003.
Are there ANY solutions? At the moment I have at least 2 ways: 1) swap the SIM with another phone and 2) let my prepaid provider draw the money from my credit card.
However, I hope someone has some other approach!
Best regards,
Werner
because the tablet do not support phone call features...
only 3G/Edge/GPRS
I try to find the documentation about this

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I know that the tablet is not intended to be a phone. Would be rather funny to put it to the ear...
However, for those like me with prepaid account it would have been nice to enable us to send at least USSD codes in order to check balance of the prepaid account. I hope I can make it clear.
I really DO NOT want to place regular phone calls (it would be a nice feature though), just call the service line in order to re-charge my prepaid account.
I know this sounds like: "He do not want to use the tablet like a mobile phone but he wants to use it like a mobile phone..."
It's weird I know, but my prepaid provider (Edeka Mobil; uses vodafone.de) give the option to buy a voucher and then call the "Kontomanager" free of charge. During the call I will have to enter the cash code number and then the amount will be credited to my prepaid account. Therefore I am in need of a dialer for phoning AND typing. And IMO Google/Acer forgot us prepaid users.
Werner
I understand well
what I mean is... the tablet will act more as like a Dongle 3G rather than a phone...
I think you can't have the way "not sure" to use for send SMS or MMS or USSD or call... with the tablet...
I agree the tablet does not have the hardware to Dial out to a service. Check and see if the carrier has a update web site to do what you for purchase. Or check out the Google voice service they give you a phone number that routs phone information to txt Google email and chat
But I do not know much about its limits or ability or availability in your country
Good luck

I don't think they forgot. It is just that your specific need is not significant enough to have it included in the tablet itself when compared with the amount of users that do not use this specific way to connect to the internet.
As far as solutions goes I was thinking that maybe you could setup a SIP on your tablet: this should allow you to make and receive phone calls over the internet. I have an EVO and I was able to make phone calls with it while having the 'phone' radio off (using wifi), the only problem I see is that you'll need to have a dialer somewhere (SIP droid integrated itself into the dialer so you could set it up as the default gateway for calls or use on a specific pattern basis like GV and intl calls)
SIPdroid setup is very easy (username and pass) but the SIP provider itself might not be that easy to setup (you need to setup rules for inc calls, outgoing.. also you need to connect your GV acct with the SIP and so on)
Thanks so much for all comments!
Fortunately, my internet provider has a web interface where I can query my balance and, if I want to put money to my prepaid account, they let me do it via credit card.
That's okay for me.
To all: have a nice day!
Werner
I have just found your thread (after having posted one before ).
However, I have the same problem. Are you using fyve? I need to recharge the data plan, but cannot do it since I cannot do any phone calls. On the fyve website, I did not find any web interface to enter my code.
Hi, my phone isnt android but my tablet obviously is. I'm in the military with orders to korea and want to keep in touch with everyone, but my phone is a cheap cricket flip phone. All the apps that allow things like this that i could find require me to install the app on my tablet and phone, which obviously wont work. Is there an app (free or paid, i dont care which) that will let me plug in my phone number and send texts from it on my tablet? Skype's text rates are ridiculous, gtalk is great but i can only communicate with other gtalk users, facebook messenger will only be instant for people with smart phones or data plans, etc. A text app will allow me to text everyone that doesnt have a smart phone as well as those that do, and not have to hope they are at their computer to reply. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
Have you tried using Google Voice app on your tablet? I have used it with mine and I was able to send/receive text messages using the Google Voice number I chose. I was connected to wifi when I did this.
i have google voice from before i canceled my smart phone plan, i love how it transcribes my voice mails. I dont see a send text option though, even with my new cricket number in it. All i have is an inbox, settings, labels, balance, search and refresh, and the inbox just seems to be call logs and voicemail transcribes. If you can tell me how to set up texting with it i will be quite grateful.
Edit- okay text is under labels, but i cant figure out how to send one.

Download the google voice app on your tablet, and from there you press "compose" and than just type in the number (or select a contact) and txt away .
I to have cricket .. Google voice works .. as described above.. Also two more..
PALTALK VIDEO chat has a new sms feature.. I have not used it as its brand new..
YAHOO MESSENGER NOW HAS A SIMILAR Feature. and does video chat..
Yahoo messanger for the tablet is now compatable with Crickets sms service.. IT USED to not work..
i would check them out in the order i mentioned above I do use google voice and PALTALK .. the paltalk you get from www.paltalk.com
Good Luck and STAY SAVE OVER THERE... i hear its not much better then the middle east. one of my best Girl Friends just returned from EAU .. she says they treat women over there as if they are a Possession.. i would be hung because im very independent
I have the Zio cell phone It works well well for what it is .. I love the NO contract and i get awesome signal here.. I also have a at&t cell for work and my cricket is better service ..
Something must not be compatible with my rom because there is no compose option in voice and in settings the google voice number is greyed out and i cant select it. I'll look at yahoo messenger since i have it installed and hopefully that works. Thank you both for your help.
Edit- the website for google voice has more options than the app. I thought my voicemail number i made was enough, but i made a new number thst works with texting after signing out of the app then signing back in. Just one more question, since the texts show up as from the voice number amd not the cricket number, this means i dont have to pay for the cricket service when i leave, right? I can just use this free voice number to text? It seems too good to be true.
As far as i can remember your google Voice ..must have a telephone number to be linked to.. Rather or not its just for the initial setup verification im not sure .
i Use google voice number for things i register to keep text spam off my cell phone number.. Go to CRICKETUSER FORUMS Register and ask this same Question over there. EVERYTHING you ever need to know about CRICKET Wireless is on that forum..
Cricket now offers world wide text as well.. but im not sure if it from over there to us or just from us to over seas..
Thanks again for your help, i should have everything i need to adequately keep in touch with everyone now. Seems like its a free number that can route to my existing numbers, but wont require them(aside from activation) if i just want to use the tablet or a pc. so i can cancel my cricket service for the year im gone, thanks for helping me save money.
Hey its just a simple question ...
kakaotalk,line,wechat.. etc are called VOIP apps right ??
i just wanna know if there is an VOIP app that does require only one phone that has internet connection to call or text someone even though they don have internet connection ???
please help me find one
I know the pc version of Skype can make voip calls to landlines or mobile numbers but you have to buy credits for this although it could work out cheaper for making international phone calls
I don't know if the mobile app supports this
There are no free (as far as I know) ways to make a voip call to a landline or mobile number
Of course voip at both ends is free but both require internet

There are apps that let you text and make calls over wifi or data, but it is not free to receive calls. There is an app called next plus that I use for text only.
Look into AirDroid and see if it will do what you want it to do.

It's odd that the Windows client has a contact manager. I personally don't use that feature, so I don't know why it's there, but I do suspect it allows you to make and receive calls on the PC. I thought it might do more.
One thing that may work is Google Voice, if Google still has the service available. You'd have to link your number to Google Voice, but then Google Voice would work on the phone with no SIM, once you install it.

Google Voice works for phones that have no SIM. It sends the call via WiFi. In fact, several years ago this was a recommended method of repurposing an old phone. I don't know if that has changed or not, as I have no need of doing what you're attempting.
