Google VP doesn’t have decent Wifi?
- lupire 4y agoIn 2014 it was hard to give out the wifi password, I guess.
- InitialBP 4y agoWifi access does not universally mean the ability to receive texts, it can depend on your particular device and mobile carrier.
- 0des 4y agoWait how do I do text over wifi?
- derekp7 4y agoI believe Google Voice can do text directly from the app, no cell service required (just an internet connection). And my phone service has been able to do LTE over WIFI for a number of years.
- PebblesRox 4y agoYes, in college I carried a cheap pay-per-minute flip-phone plus an iPod touch. Most of the time I had wifi and could text for free from the iPod using Google Voice. In the rare cases when I was not in a place with wifi, I could just use the phone. It was a nice setup :)
- 0des 4y agoAh my phone doesn't have apps, that makes sense though.
- altncatchfire 4y agoNot to sound snarky but which phone do you carry that doesn't have apps in 2022 but does have WiFi?
- 0des 4y agoits just a dumb-phone you get at the grocery store. it makes calls and does texts, but in some cases you pay per text. edit: am i getting downvoted for not having a smart phone or for asking a dumb question? i cant tell what i've done wrong here, I'm just not a phone person.
- tschwimmer 4y agoPerhaps it was SMS 2fac, which is additionally funny because luminaries should know it's the vastly inferior choice. In fact, it must be because I don't think authenticator apps generally need an internet connection.
