Well, that blows. When I lived in a basement, cellular signal was nonexistent, and the only way I could reliably call anyone was by getting a Google Voice number and using the Hangouts Dialer app on my android phone to make the call over WiFi.
These days I've got most of my family using Signal, which can also call over WiFi.
- eslaught 6y agoThe Google Voice app still exists and is able to make WiFi calls (I've used it). As confusing as this is, I think it's just the integration. Google Voice has had all of this functionality in a standalone form for years, and that's not going away.
- ebg13 6y agoThe voice app has its own dialer.
- MaKey 6y agoNowadays there is also Wi-Fi calling which is great for me because right now I'm also living in the basement where cell phone reception is poor.
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agowifi calling has been around a long time. It suffers from lag, at least for me. Too much lag.
- matt_heimer 6y agoThe Google Voice app works fine and supports calling and texting over Wi-Fi.
