jnelsoninjax Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 So the issue is my roommate's phone is a month to month prepaid and he does not have the funds to pay for his next months service, he has a Google voice account and can send/receive text messages, but he is looking for an option to use his phone while on WiFi to make/receive phone calls. From what I have found the methods to setup Google voice to do this requires that the phone be active (or able to receive text messages). Does anybody know of any other method to accomplish the same thing? It does not need to be associated with Google voice, but that seems to be the easiest method.

OK, so it works to call out, but does not seem to ring when I call it back, is there some setting somewhere that needs to be set?
