Yes.Magicjack app(magicApp) is available at google play and gives you free calls to landlines and mobile numbers wherever you have WiFi.Many tablet/ipod touch owners are unaware they can use their device as a free WiFi phone.It works like a speaker phone and if you want a private conversation,just plug in earbuds/headphones as the mic will still pick up your voice.No special headset needed.

You can also use Facebook messenger that now has "calling" (voip) feature. You can talk with any Facebook contact as if it was a regular phone.

This is usable as a telephone just like a tabletop computer is usable as a telephone if it has access to the internet, using any of the voip programs such as Skype. It cannot access mobile networks.

Yes. Go to Google Play and search for free voice call over IP. The Ringto/GrooveLite are pretty good.

I never tried to. but my overall opinion is it's not that good for anything but a phone.

Yes, and so far the phone has been great. Simple and easy to use if you don't need it for more than talk or text.

I would say yes because it is not a wireless/cordless phone and it only plugs into the wall phone jack so it's therefore a good alternative to the handy cordless land line phones.

Yea. Probably. This is a very nice phone. Good performance. Newer phones are just extension to this phone.

Absolutely. I used it for about 2 1/2 months until I could upgrade to a new phone. For me, well worth the money.

It is the ideal phone for someone who just wants a phone to be a phone. I use my computer for the internet. It does have texting capability.

For walks and gentle trots, it should be fine. Recommend you leave all phones at home for fox hunting, jumping, polo and steeplechase no matter what case you have them in.

No and you cannot use it as a phone. I ended up giving it to my nephew to use on wi-fi at home.

I can be used for other phone. This one is for phone calls only not music or other media hence the cheaper price.

The phone is slow, but usable. I use it for calls, SMS, and watching movies. It is a good second phone. If the phone was fake the seller would be kicked off Amazon.

Yes, but it may not charge as quickly while in use. I've made phone calls and used data while charging with no issues.

No, it's not. And it's also not a very good quality phone, even if you're just looking for a basic, non-smartphone.. I don't recommend purchasing this.

You should be able to.However it is a very difficult phone to use. Won't recommend it at all.
