I know there are some techies on here and I can use their help. I have an Android smartphone on the Verizon network and I have a Google Voice telephone number. I can send and receive text messages for free over wifi without counting against my Verizon texting plan.
When I'm in Canada later this year can I:
-still receive text messages for free assuming I have a wifi connection?
-make and receive calls from the U.S. over wifi for free?
If wifi isn't available, I'm assuming the second I activate the Verizon data mobile data button I will be charged for international data rates? But here's the answer I don't have...if someone calls me on my Google Voice telephone number I'm guessing it will use the Verizon network and I will still be charged. But if I deactivate the cel phone portion of the phone with an app killer and I'm connected to wifi, will I receive the call?
Your help is appreciated! It's not critical that I be reachable but it would be nice to catch up on texts and calls (for free) when wifi is available.
