Landline phones like smart phones now come with many added features such as WiFi calling.
Having WiFi built into a land line along with WiFi enabled calling is a nice feature to have.

This is usually done by connecting to the WiFi router and then set up with either an App or programmed with a SIP provider such as Google Voice.
This enables a landline to do VOIP calls which in the past was dedicated to businesses or companies looking to lower their phone bill.
There are many phones available that can enable anyone to take advantage of wireless WiFi calling with a landline phone.

Alex: what I have done is use a LG cell phone and went to Google Voice download, installed it, set to my wifi and can call anyone in US and Canada, talk as long as I want, then hangup… it’s free… I have a Samsung cell(Trackfone) that I like so I got the phone off HSN or QVC for $78.00, I think, Transferred the minutes etc to the Samsung. Put Google Voice on the LG and use it as my Ghost Phone.. Or you can put Google Hangouts and the dial-er for Hangouts and your good to go, just like google voice.. Both work fine.. when out and about use open wifi like at McDonald’s etc..
My idea is to leave my old cell phone use to the talkatone app only and make/receive calls with one of these phones or any other bluetooth cordless phone. Can i do that?
