how do I access my voicemail to pick up messages?
simon says
If the phone app, tap and hold 1 key in the keypad to access voicemail.
Some carriers also have their own voicemail app.
Please note, voicemail is saved in your carrier’s server, not on your phone.

Elizabeth says
I just received my update yesterday and when I try to place a video with my friend that has a Note5 and the video calling feature it says..”Video call not available…calling through voice”. Is anyone having the same issue? I power cycled my phone twice already and still nothing.
simon says
Some carriers do not support video calls. Did you check with both carriers whether this feature is included in your plan ( and your friend’s as well)?

JESSICA JONES says
Not all phones support this feature and or carriers. I know with AT&T only the newest Samsung galaxy phones support it and the newest LG phones support it. Not NOTE phones are supported with the video chat option. It says the same thing when I try to video chat someone that doesn’t have that option for me as well. But when I video chat my husband it works great. We have AT&T I have the LG G5 and my husband has the LG V10. Hope this helps!
Cassie Black says
Yes I have the same issue….my man and I both have a 4 month old Samsung #6 edge plus and it always hangs right up while still dialing not connected yet when making video calls we both see ourselves in bottom half but the call never fully connects or even rings through to the other. We have straight talk could that be the issue? We have the unlimited everything plan up to 10gb high speed even for that matter.
simon says
Did you check with the carrier? You can test it in their shop so that they can figure out the cause based on the test.

aashar says
when i call someone i cant hear him nor can he hear me. Any solution on how to fix it?
simon says
If the person calls you, can you hear each other? Can you hear each other if you use loud speaker?
For such issues, you can always visit local Samsung service center to check the phone.

Aashar says
Nope we just can’t hear each other, doesn’t matter who calls and if its on loud speaker. I installed noble rom and ever since I am not able to hear others
simon says
Then you should try the official rom.

Rajasekhar says
I have been using S5. Recently shifted to S5. Phone features in S5 seems much better. Like in log you can find sms also.
Also sms in S5 is better. Eg while selecting the sender you can go to log.
I’m missing these features in S6. Can I get them in S6 too.
Aashar says
Yes you can get these features in s6. Open the phone app and on the upper right corner click on more and then click on setting. There just turn on “swipe to call or send messages”. Then if you swipe to the left, you will be able to send message through log.

Kerri says
My husband and I both have the Galaxy S6 edge +. While video calling, his video on my phone will freeze but he can still see me. Is there a setting or something that may need to be changed? I read the start guide that came with the phones, but it says nothing about the video calling. Thanks in advance.
simon says
Video calling depends on carrier. Some carriers support it, some don’t. Sometimes, if the network signal is not good, you may get frozen video. Are you in the same carrier’s network?

Jarvis Banks says
if you have a tmobile phone and you want to video call someone with a Verizon phone can you?
simon says
Very likely, no. Although both T Mobile and Verizon offer video calling, Verizon video calling only works when both are on Verizon LTE network

Elric says
My galaxy s6 on t-mobile will not connect to Droid Turbo 2 on verizon. Both have video call options.
simon says
I think Verizon’s video call is limited to their own network.
Did you try Verizon to Verizon numbers?

Rash says
I got a missed call , how do I copy the same no to keypad , I just want to add country code and call. Is there any way in samsung galaxy s6 edge? I dont want to save the contact
simon says
You don’t need copy it. Tap the entry in logs tab. It should then give you options to call or sms or video call that number.

Rash says
I want to edit the no before calling.
Ex.
I got a missed call from +91 123456789,
I just want to add 019 code before missed call no and dial.As I am in Singapore,if I add 019 for international calls it charges me less.
How do I do that without saving the no….
simon says
I got it. There are no easy solutions, but you can try this: 1). in the call log, tap number; 2). tap MORE near top right, tap Send number 3). you are now in Messages app, tap and hold the number and selection options will pop up; 4) copy it to dialer, add whatever you want, then dial.

Thanks….It’s really annoying….earlier I used S3,S4..where we do have option to copy missed call or any no to keypad….but removed this option in s6…maybe they copied it from iPhone…
simon says
The new TouchWiz is only good for new Android users. For long-time Samsung users, the experience is usually not good. Unfortunately, in the coming Galaxy S7, Samsung will not restore most of such useful feature.

Zachariah says
I have a s6 edge, telus tells me its a problem with samsungs software on my phone, samsung says i need to take it up with telus!!! I dont even have the video call feature on my phone app. Its not in the settings or anything, but yet everyone else with the exact same phone and provider, including my girlfriend has the feature??? Even when i went to the telus store and looked at there display model it had the feature. I am running the lastest software update android 5.1.1 and all. The feature just simply was not installed anywhere in my phone. What do i do?
simon says
Video calling is a carrier feature. Very likely, you didn’t buy the s6 edge from the carrier. Phones for different carrier’s may have slightly different firmware.

But every other phone from the place i bought it has the feature, even the display model does. So that carrier does have it, my girlfriend just got the same phone from the same carrier on the same plan and is running the same software, and she has the feature as well
simon says
Not sure. But you should not just look at model number. You need check the software version and build numbers.

Go to your apps, click on settings, then click advanced calling. Turn it on. This should allow you to get hd voice and video calling. I hope this helps. I am having the same issue as you. I havent been able to try this for myself yet.
Rainer says
Good afternoon, I just upgraded my wife’s and my phone to S6. We have Metro PCS, which works on the t-mobile network. When we try to do the video calling it says unavailable.
How or what can we do to make it work, if there’s anything you might know regarding this issue.
Thank you very much in advance. (Happy New years)
simon says
Video calling is carrier specific. You need check with the service provider whether they offer video calls or not. I guess Metro PCS does not.
Anyway, you can always use Hangouts to make video calls. But it requires and uses WiFi or mobile data.

Sprint should have an update so that we can video other samsung s6 users
Lovely says
They to cheap for that yet we pay an arm and a leg for a high phone bill
semaj washington says
why doesn’t sprint have video call for galaxy s6/edge ?

Video call is not a standard feature. Some carriers may offer it, some may not. And some may only work within ikan network.

I have the Samsung s6. I can voice call no problem, but when it comes to video calling whether it be through Skype or Facebook messenger the other party cannot hear me but I can hear them. The mute button is off, the volume is high. I’ve taken my phone to phone geek who says it’s a baffling problem as my phone works fine other than video calling. I’ve only had the phone for 6 weeks.

Not sure. Can you run test in Skype?

D. L. Disney says
Hey Simon… Here’s one for ya and this one has Verizon stumped. Verizon and I were on the phone today for over 3 hrs trying to fix this issue. He had me go into my applications and do a force stop on all 3 of my “phones” listed and on the “video” listed. We were able to video chat then. Big happy smiles and hoorays… a few hrs later, can’t video chat even after I did the force stops again. Every single time my S6 connects to video chat, the little gray box pops up saying continuing call on WiFi but immediately drops the call. No matter who I call, this happens. So I ran some tests because Verizon feels its my internet which is jacked up. Tried video calling my daughter from Dunkin Donuts, little gray box pops up and disconnects the call. Panaera’s same thing. Paid McDonalds a visit and didn’t drop the video call BUT neither did the little gray box pop up. Went to the Verizon store, same thing. Was able to video chat but the little gray box never showed up. So now the concern is, am I really video chatting and NOT using my data or am I using my date even tho I’m connected to their WiFi?? My data usage is thru the freaken’ roof!! Verizon wants to factory re-set my phone… I’m not feeling that at all. Then there’s talk about sending me out a REFURBISHED phone. I didn’t buy a refurbished phone why would I want to send this one back for a 2nd hand phone? I WAS video chatting about oh I’d say maybe 3 months ago with no problems… Can you pls tell me what is going on that out of the blue, I’m able to video chat without using my WiFi but yet my data is sky high and if I connect to my WiFi, every single video chat call is dropped…???
Sad in E. City, NC
simon says
As I know, video calling is not counted in your data plan. But you can confirm it with Verizon.
It sounds your problem may be related to wifi calling. Did you test it by temporally disabling wifi calling?

My mom and I used the video chat for 2 days after our update, now she cannot receive video calls and it makes it a regular call. We have tried toggling the video call button in our call settings. Neither of us are using WiFi, we both have the s6 and are on the same plan. Please help! We video chatted in the morning then couldn’t in the evening.
simon says
When you placing the call, you need explicit specify it’s a video call. The other side also has to choose to accept video call when the phone rings.

You sim card should indicate the carrier. You should know who issued the sim card. In the lock screen, it should show you the mobile network name. Your can also check it in settings -about phone – status – sim card status.

Great phone however I can not video call him it says “can not video call this number” but he can video call me.
We both using the same service provider (MTN).

Not sure. Do you have the similar mobile plan? Some carriers may other this video calls for some plans only.
Also, you can try to enable mobile data before using video calls, although it’s not required.

simon says
Very likely, you carrier doesn’t support direct video calling.
If your phone has internet connection, you can try Google Duo app for video calling. Of course, this will consume your data if you connect the phone to internet through mobile data.

Megan says
To my knowledge, I have never made/accepted a video call, but if I look at my “duration” for calls, there are multiple video calls and one for over a 1/2 hour. I disabled it, but I’m concerned my phone had something hacking into the camera or otherwise. Out of curiosity, a friend checked hers and also had video calls listed under the duration tab. These were not showing in our recent calls. Is there any place else I caneed go to see where these originated?
simon says
Not sure. Probably the report is not so reliable. I don’t think it is hacked.

Steve Robinson says
When I go into the Log section of my Samsung phone app to re-call a number, I get a message that says that I am not allowed to make the international call that I am attempting. Problem is, I am not attempting to place an international call. The only thing that I can see that is a potential issue is that there is a + sign in front of the area code that may be “fooling” the phone system into thinking I am trying to place an international call. How can I resolve this problem?
simon says
+ should only be added before the country code. If it is placed in front of the area code, something wrong with your carrier, which should identify the incoming number as “+”+ “country code” + “area code” + “phone number”.
If this happens, you should correct it.
