    I need to know if it is possible to buy a Polish landline number that I will be able to pick up in any android application?


    What do I need it for ?:
    - I'm flying in November to the "end of the world - cosmically expensive connections" - I need to turn off my Polish mobile phone and make a redirection from my GSM to my new Polish virtual landline number (e.g. Skype) and if I am abroad, I would be able to receive calls on my android.

    Solution # 1: - Skype, I buy a virtual landline number (fee ~ PLN 80/3) and I redirect that when I have my mobile turned off, I should call a landline, and I pick up a landline in the Skype application.
    The cost of such a solution is about PLN 80/3 months.

    Solution No. 2: - Wificall in Plus - plus tests such applications that if you do not have coverage in the area, you can have their applications on the phone and you normally receive a call via the application while being in the range of Wifi, and without GSM.

    How do you get connected in Skype? Will you have an internet connection there? If so, all you need is an app on your WhatsApp phone and you can make WIFI calls to other WhatsApp accounts.

    I need to receive my GSM abroad etc. There I will have a foreign sim with internet.

    Applache viber / whatsapp does not suit me ... because I will not tell the client to call me on viber etc. ;)

    You don't need an app, VoIP is natively in android in the calling app settings. It's so out of the head, because currently, unfortunately, I use an iPhone. It is possible to set only until mid. outgoing (then you save batteries but cannot be received) and normally both ways. Of course, you must have an active internet connection all the time - good WiFi or 4G. After 3G, forget it. Regarding the configuration - you will find info on the internet. I assume that you can get the number from the VoIP operator. Halonet gives you setup instructions so you can do it.

    I subscribe to the idea with VoIP with four paws, but it will be funny if the place where the author goes will be a VoIP blockade :) I don't know why it should be, but there is a shadow of a chance.
    In addition to the idea of redirecting calls from a mobile to a VoIP number (halonet offers the first number for 1 PLN, each next 20 PLN - per year), there is also an option (very expensive) to obtain a GSM gate, thanks to which the author of the topic could make and receive calls from his cells, and he would miss the halonet.

    An expensive solution, i.e. specifying around 500 net. The author invests once and has it forever. Transferring a number to another network? You can and yes, but what about the penalty for breaking the contract early? What if it is a number that the author does not manage, but only uses?

    Additional info:
    - my sim is subscribed to plusgsm,
    - so I can manage this card as I want - if that's what you wanted.

    What is currently testing:
    - helonet (I bought 1 phone number for PLN 1 and topped up the account) works ok so far, I got a little pissed off to me 2x blocked the account (because I clicked wrongly payment and blockade good morning ;) - maybe it's good because they protect the safety of users,
    - Wifi call - I spoke to his guardian and he started this service for free - great, because without redirecting, etc. everyone calls me on the phone when I'm outside the GSM network.

    For now, both functions are testing and we will see what I choose ... and maybe with both of them I will jump to the 2nd end of the world, etc.

    As Wificall becomes popular, it will be a great alternative to roaming.
    Yes, I know .... you will say that there are a lot of applications for on-line voice calls, but sometimes there are situations that you have to pick up, and the guest on the 2nd side of the handset does not care that you are sitting on the azure coast under a palm tree with coconut ;)

    Not all versions of Android have native VoIP

    VoIP after 3G works, link stability is more important than its speed
