Yes and no. Google Voice is set up to work in concert with a cell phone number, but using the Google Hangouts Dialer it can work on its own for calling, not so much for sms text messages though. For instance, I rarely talk on the phone except to my wife and daughter, so I have a tracfone and google voice. I save minutes using google voice and just keep a minimum of voice minutes on my tracfone. Google Voice works via VOIP through wifi so you could just use it when around wifi on an Android phone with the Hangouts Dialer app. It will also work in Chrome browser on a laptop or desktop.
