How to use your nexus 7 as a cell phone in Canada via WiFi?

[Chris Stewart2]

Hi.
I am using talk atone app to send calls but in Canada it doesn't receive calls. How do you go about doing that? Also Text messages too?
Thanks

Do you have wifi access? Try Spare Phone.

I heard that the combo of Google Voice and Chat along with a VOIP app like groove IP works great.

The only issue is you can't get an actual phone number for google voice if you are in canada making receiving calls a challenge!

Really? That's lame! Poor Canadians! I guess a 3rd party service like Line2 would be the next best thing.... if they have anything like that in Canada???

Is line2 a voip service? If so there are definitely providers like that in Canada.
