    Whatsapp allows totally free voice calls when there is an internet connection.

    Both Skype and for me as aMicrosoft person WhatsApp is awesome, using it now on my new as of yesterday Android OS Sony XZ1 phone. Plus you can get a WhatsApp clone for Windows 10 PCs so make same calls messages via PC.

    as the little newbie here, this is a conversation i'm interested in :)

    i can perhaps give testimony of my own experience with Hangouts Dialer.

    It's definitely better in my opinion than Skype or Whatsapp. The user experience is super fluid in terms of making your calls and I find it less clunky than Skype (which i don't use anymore).

    If you're concerned about calling iPhone users, it's also possible if they have the iOS version of the app on their phone.

    At my office we started using the overall hangouts environment more and more and it doesn't look like we're going to dial back anytime soon (no pun intended).

    As a complement to Dialer, I'd also recommend using Google Meets for video conferencing, very robust as well.

    If you need a quick how-to step on using Hangouts Dialer here it is http://vilaingeek.com/hangouts-dialer-app-android-wifi-telephone/

    Hope my (very FIRST) major geeks feedback helps ;)

    Sorry, je suis français o_O

    Usually though if you use a chrome browser, Chrome gives you the option to translate the page. I use this for asian or spanish content for example.

    1. Dial the Canadian or US phone number you want to call. I use WhatsApp to talk to my Daughter in Cape Town.

    How good of a wifi signal do you need to use it?

    Might have to look into that. We use a AT&T hotspot to connect which usually gives us descent internet speeds but sometimes phones don't get good receptions. We have AT&T and Verizon phones.
