Can't all smartphones/tablets do this?
This is pretty old news, I've been using Google Voice and GrooveIP for well over a year now. I would imagine this is pretty easy to do with iPhone as well, right?
If you still have an old Android phone around that doesn't have voice or data service, this will help that become a usable Wifi VOIP phone as well. I keep my old HTC Incredible handy and it serves as another house handset since I forward my Ooma home number to Google Voice.

It would be nice if magic jack integrated seamlessly with an Android phone to give me the smoothness of cell phone but one that runs over WiFi.
Something that also would run like a cell phone on a tablet.
Then if everyone left their WiFi open (like I do for my neighbors) we could fight back against the over priced cell phone plans.

While this may be old hat for some people. I had not heard of this great piece of software that allows me to get more functionality out of my Transformer Pad. I love it. Thank you for the tip about this App. Much appreciated as always to read your insight.
I just received an Archos Tablet 80 9G - however I am not computer savy. Can someone tell me how to connect to wi fi without a plan and it costing so much. I am retired and on a limited budget. Thank you, Angela
Generally speaking WiFi is local and Wireless is a Phone Plan.
Phone Plans are expensive and WiFi is not so you connect to your Local WiFi and it costs you nothing more than the cost of powering the WiFi Device and your ISP connection. If you want to use the 3/4G Phone Network that is expensive and requires a Data Plan from one of the Telco's.
Though there are also Security Issues if you use a Public WiFi Hot Spot as it is possible that someone else can read your Device and Data Transfer.
WiFi relies on the 802.11 Spectrum and the Phone 3/4G System is a different kettle of fish.
