I was wondering if there are any recommendations for receiving calls on an wifi only iPad (or wifi Android tablet).
I've been using Talkatone along with a Google Voice number. The quality is horrific. And receiving calls seems to be broken at the moment.
I'm figuring that I will need a pay service for this. Not a problem. Here is what I've tried.
Ringcentral: I really like this service. Quality, customer support, is great. Can make outbound calls no problem. But no inbound calls - that was the deal breaker.
MagicJack: I was really surprised by this app because I hate their commercials & the salesman seems like a real shyster. But this app makes great quality calls. But cannot receive calls without paying. I know I said I would pay for inbound but before signing up, I wanted to see if any had used it before signing up.
Skype: I think it has the capability to receive inbound phone calls via a paid version. But I'm not familiar with it beyond the standard video Skype-to-Skype. Nor how good the quality is.
ObiHai: This requires a piece of hardware that resides on your home network. As far as I can tell, incoming VOIP calls are routed to it and then out to one's iPad. Not sure of the quality and hesitant to buy the device without more reviews.
Any other services: If others have their own recommendations, good or bad, I'd like to hear. Again, I don't have a problem with paid services. But want to avoid the pain of signing up and then canceling if the service doesn't work as advertised, or sucks. They always making signing up easy. And canceling very, very difficult and time-consuming.
