Inbound/Outbound Wifi calling

I'm currently on Cricket wireless. I have an unlocked Moto X4 andriod one phone. Of course since this is not a Cricket branded phone I can't use their wifi calling feature. My issue is that in some area's where I have absolutely no cell service I do have access to wifi. I do have a google voice number which is forwarded to my cell number and understand I can make just about any call using the wifi with various calling apps but I'm having issues receiving calls. I'm a bit confused about google voice app vs google duo app vs google hangouts app. As of today, the only way I can receive a call (via my google voice number) on my Moto X4 phone in areas that I have no cell reception but do have wifi is through the hangouts app/hangouts dialer. Will the google duo app or google voice app not allow someone to receive wifi calls when there is absolutely not cell recetion? I have tried both but not luck. I can call out but not receive calls. And getting another app (facebook messenger, whats app etc.) means both parties have to have it installed. Just curious. Thank you.
