Hello peeps,

I get poor to no reception in my house(I live in the basement, 400ft from an airport)


I want to know if there is a way to call people, or receive calls my current number.
I know google voice lets me do that for $20. I really dont want to pay that much. Is there a free app to do this?

If there isnt, is there an app that lets me make/receive calls for free through wifi?

I know textfree lets me do like 3 or 4 before it starts charging for minutes. I can receive unlimited calls, but I cant make any.

Thanks for the responses :)
 
Skype I'm pretty sure lets you make calls over WiFi for like $3/mo. There is a number of other apps in the Play store that look like they may be a solution for you.

If I was you though I'd either pay the $20 to port your number to Google Voice (although be careful not trigger a cancellation/ETF from AT&T) and use GrooveIP to make/take calls over Wifi or just have Google Voice assign you a number for free, use GrooveIP, and train people to use your new number.
 
GrooVe IP . There is also a free version that doesn't support the proximity sensor and misses out on a few other advantages. You can even use GrooVe Forwarder to automatcially forward incoming calls to the GrooVe IP app when you're on WiFi. You'll have to have a Google Voice number though. On AT&T, you'll have to port your number, or you'll have to get a separate Google Voice number. If you get a separate Google Voice number, the entire thing can be accomplished for free.
