Phone Dialler via Wifi Hotspot or Bluetooth?

[barnstorm]

Hi,

Looking to see if anyone is aware of an app that provides a phone dialler via wifi hotspot or Bluetooth connection?

Since my Note 7 has been blocked on my phone network I have been using my old Note 3 as my phone with my Note 7 connected via wifi hotspot when I leave the house.

I know I have to carry two phones but it has meant that I have been able to carry on effectively without changing any habits except for non-VoIP phone calls and SMS/MMS.

I found an app called "Tablet Talk" which enables my Note 7 to send and receive text messages over wifi hotspot or bluetooth but to make and receive calls you need to use a bluetooth headset.

Does anybody know of an app that can enable the phone dialler to control another phone dialler over wifi hotspot or bluetooth?

Thanks...

I had the same question. I read you can port your number to google voice for $20. I think you can still send texts via that as well. Let me know if you figure anything else out. Thanks!

I use Google Hangouts dialer and it even lets you use your own number for the caller ID.

Not sure what to about incoming calls. I am wondering if they block our calls will call forwarding still work? Then you could forward to something like Google voice...

I also wonder if they can charge us full price for our phone line if they aren't providing call service?

I just tested this out. I took my sim out of my note 7 and put it in my s6. I enabled mobile hotspot on my s6 and connected my note 7 to that hotspot. I set up google voice on my note 7 and placed a call via google hangouts as you suggested. Call was made perfectly and i was able to text out via the google voice app. I guess I'll be carrying two phones around if this whole new verizon announcement ends up being more than just hot air but I can live with that

No, you just need to get a number through google. You can set up an new google account and get one or add one to your existing gmail account.

If you want to use your existing number, you can port that number to google voice. I think that costs between $10-20.

I use Textnow, it gives you a phone number, you can make and receive calls thru wifi, and text as well. Its free, you just have to use it once a week at least
