MagicJack now has something new to offer its customers - an app (your choice of Apple App Store or Google Play) which will allow you to make phone calls via 4G or Wi-Fi without using data plan minutes. And this app is free.
Is there an inexpensive unlocked android smartphone which would allow me to take advantage of this offer?
Here is the link which explains the offer:

Noticed this thread title.... T-Mobile (whom I moved to in February) offers wifi calling as a standard part of its plan. The thing is though it still counts against your minutes and data which makes it kind of worthless.
I understand Google is about to release a phone/start their own virtual network which will make use of wifi, tmobile and other carriers and will 'roam' between them. Rumors are that it will be available in the fall.
As far a cheap unlocked android phones I just (as part of moving from Verizon to T-Mobile) got a
BLU Studio 5.0C phone for $110 and other than a few annoyances I love it. It has dual sims and lets you manage which network/carrier is used for which function (data, phone, text, etc).
I also transferred my 'home' phone to a T-Mobile cellphone and connect to my home wireless system using this
Xlink Bluetooth interface.
Overall I'm saving $45/month from my Verizon contract and am now with the UnCarrier.
No Contract (of course that means they can change the price whenever they like
)
