Just bought 2 Galaxy 3`s around Christmas because Verizon told us the reason our phones would not work in our house was because they were old phones and I am just 1 mile off the interstate and a half of mile from a tower. Well the new galaxy 3s will not work either sometimes they will work in the yard . My question is my friend has a galaxy 2 and he has a feature to turn on and talk through his internet when he is at home does anyone know how to talk on the Galaxy 3 using my internet ?
Have you asked your "friend" this question?
It would depend how your friend is talking thru his internet. Several apps use a data connection for calling, Skype would be an example.
However, if your friend is just just making normal calls from his phone and it is going thru his internet, the only way I am aware of to do this on Verizon is with a network extender which you would most likely have to purchase.
It may be because he is on tmobile with a galaxy 2 but the 2 has a option of wifi calling that is not on the S3.

Actually it is the T-Mobile network that has the option for wifi calling on some of their branded devices.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
I am concerned that you aren't able to have a working phone at home. As stated, you won't be able to make/receive calls via WiFi on Verizon, but we do have a network extender http://bit.ly/AKkC that should definitely help with service when you are indoors.
You can try it out to see how it works. If it doesn't work, pack it up and send it back to us within 14 days.
