Which VOIP should i choose?

Recently, i made a lot of changes to my phone and started using Google Voice and want to get a good VOIP to use.

I want one that uses Wifi, and 3G/4G LTE, however, it's so hard to decide which one and takes a lot of testing, so I was wondering if people knew which one they thought was the best, whether it be GrooVeIP, Share Phone, or talkatone.

Personally talkatone is nice, but i hate the built in text app, and i cant seem to find a way from it cluttering up the recent call list in the app, and i receive double calls when using it, odd?.

GrooVeIP i think is pretty good, but everytime i switch from wifi to 3G or 3G to wifi it turns off, and waits for me to turn it back on, maybe a way to prevent this...

Share Phone is also pretty good, best quality i have gotten so far, but when you dial, it just stays on the dial pad when in call, doesn't even tell you that you're calling someone.

These are my problems with just these VOIP's maybe someone could help me out, or point me to a new one, I am all for new ideas! :)

Thanks!

TL : DR = I need a VOIP that is reliable on Wifi and 3G/4G LTE
 
I've only used GrooVeIP, and I don't even have cell service. So I can only attest to the behavior of Wifi switching on and off. When it switches on, GrooVeIP usually turns from red to green within seconds, so maybe try waiting when it switches from 3g to wifi and see if it automatically logs you back in.

Yeah i found out today it must of just been having connection issues, because i was trying it out today in my apartment and it seemed to just take a bit to switch over.

Thanks for the response though.
 
I've only used GrooveIP and I've been quite satisfied with it. As others note, your call quality is only as strong as your connection, so you might not have great call quality over your data coverage depending on your data speeds and signal.

In my case, I spend much of my day where I have WiFi (either at home or work), so I have GrooveIP set up to work over WiFi and use my cell minutes when I am away from a WiFi connection.
