Requires v. 2.3 or higher. So I tried to set up and to verify my phone number it said to "enter the code", which appears to have 4 numbers. What code? I'm stymied. But I do have whatsapp working.

I'm only trying to set up Hangouts, which I thought would work without GV. I thought it normally was used without GV, (but that GV might for some purposes require Hangouts, if I followed the conversation here correctly.) At any rate, it never mentioned setting up GV too.

I tried tonight, and it too didn't mention GVoice, and it did say to enter a 6-digit code, but then it said "If you didnt' get the code, wait another 60 seconds" and then the option was to "Resend SMS" which I did and 60 seconds later still didn't get a text.

There are lots of freebie communication-type apps out there, but WeChat's claim to fame for me is that it incorporates many means into a single app: Voice Phone, Video Phone, Texting, leaving voice messages, sending pix, and so-forth. The hitch, of course, is that both persons have to have WeChat installed. The only gripe I have with WeChat is that it needs a WiFi connection. It would be nice if they could make it optionally use the phone's telephone system like plain old texting does. -- Pete Cresswell

As TheRealBev said, if it's a SIM-enabled tablet, then T-Mobile will give you for about $10 or $15 a SIM card that gives you 200MB/month of data for life for free. Add GV+Hangouts to that tablet, and the tablet becomes a "real" speakerphone, able to send/receive calls to/from the USA for free. This I have done so I know it works well. The phone number of the tablet isn't what people call. They call the GV phone number that Google gives you when you set up Google VOice.

Or whatever number the SIM provides. I have a separate T-Mobile 'free
data' number, a Freedompop number, a couple of google voice numbers (for
hangouts) and my real t-mobile prepaid number.

Get a free Google Voice account. That gives you an actual phone number to which you can receive calls and also make them. VOIP apps work over the Internet to connect to other VOIP endpoints. That won't work to call someone's phone number or let them call you from a phone number. Install the Google Voice app on the smartphone and configure it. If you want every callee to see your Google Voice number (instead of the Voice2Go number mentioned below) then configure the Google Voice app to handle all outbound calls. The outbound call (whether via cellular voice or wi-fi voice) goes to a Google POP (Point of Presence) at a telco they choose and changes the Caller ID info to make it look like the call originated from your Google Voice phone number. However, what you see in your phone's display is you calling the Google Voice center rather than the person you are calling. Then install the Google Hangouts Dialer app. The Google Hangouts apps is probably pre-installed but you need to add its Dialer companion app. Now you can make phone calls via wi-fi from the phone to call the phone numbers of anyone with one, and callers can call you from their phone number. Because Google Voice has voicemail, you get alerts when someone left you a message. Either the Hangouts Dialer via Hangouts will tell you about the new voicemail or you can configure Google Voice to send an e-mail alert (i.e., you get an e-mail about new voicemail). To get the full benefit of SMS in the Hangouts app, change your Google Voice account to use Google's Hangout service. Then you can use either the Google Hangouts site (hangouts.google.com) or the Hangouts app to do texting. You should also check who is the ISP at his home. If Comcast, they have their own wi-fi app to make calls (to and from phone numbers, not just VOIP users). The problem is that a phone number has to be assigned to his member account at Comcast. Since he is not paying for Comcast, get his parent(s) to create a Comcast member account for him (if he does not yet have one) which lets him have his own e-mail account there. Once he has a member account, have the owner go under voice settings in their account to create a new Voice2Go phone number. This is free. An owner can create up to 6 Voice2Go numbers. You have to wait after issuing the request for it to change from Pend status to Assigned status. Then the owner can assign one, or more, of the available non-pending Voice2Go numbers to the owner account or to any of the member accounts. If that account is ever deleted, the Voice2Go number assigned to it is lost, too. After getting the Comcast/Xfinity account configured to add to it a Voice2Go number, install Comcast's Connect app where you can do texting. When making an outbound phone call, a prompt will appear asking which dialer you want to use to actually make the call. Select the Connect app to make a wi-fi call. Incoming calls to the Voice2Go number will ring the app. Voice2Go includes voicemail, too. If you are never going to add cellular voice service to the phone, when the prompt appears asking which dialer to use then select the Connect app and tap on the Always button. That will eliminate seeing the prompt each time; however, you will have to clear the app's data (and have to reenter your account login) if you ever want the prompt to reappear. When I make a call, I get an intervening prompt asking if I want to use Phone (built-in cellular phone service), Connect (Comcast's wi-fi), or Google Voice (wi-fi calling). I do NOT click on Always because instead I always want to see the prompt of which dialer and access method to use. Even if I have cellular phone service and get a good signal wherever I happen to be, I might want to save on my cellular call minutes by using wi-fi if available. I don't bother with overpriced unlimited calling plans. I use Tracfone whose unused minutes rollover (as long as I keep an account open with them). I don't make that many calls so I always have lots of unused minutes to rollover into the next subscription. So the parents could get a Tracfone account for their kid and not pay much but the kid could save those limited minutes for more important calls and use wi-fi calling to make/receive calls - but that only works if he is in range of a wi-fi hotspot. He has a hotspot at home but when away from home there are lots of free wi-fi hotspots. They are not as pervasive as cellular coverage and why having some cellular call time would still help, like when the kid has an emergency and needs to call home or anytime he is not in wi-fi range. With wi-fi calling (not VOIPing), I use little of my cellular call minutes, so I get a lot of rollover with Tracfone. In fact, at my home, I have to use wi-fi calling. Signal strength at home for cellular voice is way too weak. I don't get incoming calls and outbound calls are unreliable (might not be able to start a call or it cuts up or disconnects during the call). So wi-fi calling using Google Voice and Hangouts Dialer is how I do cell phone calling via wi-fi from home. I'd have to install a tall antenna and amplifer costing several hundred dollars to maybe get a better cellular signal at home. Don't need to waste the money and instead use free Google Voice service with the Google Voice and Hangouts Dialer apps on the smartphone and, as a backup, also have a Voice2Go number assigned to my Comcast account and use their Connect app on the smartphone. I have 2 means of wi-fi calling (in and out) which connects to phone numbers. VOIP limits me to other users with VOIP apps. I did have the Skype app installed along with a Microsoft (Outlook.com) account. The number of folks that also had Skype that I wanted to talk with was a very small community (less than the fingers on one hand) so it got little use. Because it got used so little meant I was clumsy at using it. I did buy 3 years of Office 365 subscription which gives me something like 60 minutes of free calling (to phone numbers, not just VOIP) per month but I never ended up using it. The other above mentioned wi-fi calling setups were easier to use. Without the included phone minutes, all I'd get with Skype is VOIP and that doesn't interest me nor do I know many folks (that I want to talk with) that have Skype. I used to leave Skype installed as yet another backup wi-fi phone calling setup; however, I grew weary of it always crashing soon after powering up the smartphone (I'd get a message that com.<something>.skype had stopped which meant it was useless), so I uninstalled it. I really didn't need a 3rd wi-fi calling option, especially one with limited minutes per month, when I had 2 free and unlimited wi-fi calling options (Google Voice, Comcast).
