Try google maybe, idk, "wifi phone call app android" or something like that? Can Skype really do that? I have the app (added the fact that I have a Galaxy Nexus in the OP), but I thought it was only free to call other Skype numbers and that it cost money to dial actual phones. | ||

Yes, skype can do it - but it'll cost money to dial actual phones - although it's quite cheap, esp if you call landlines. | ||

Plenty of Korean-Americans and Americans who are non-Korean use Kakao Talk if that's what you're referring to. I do anyway.

My sister couldn't get a phone signal in her house so at&t sent her a little signal booster thing(can't remember what's it's called) for free. Perhaps she met some kind of special requirement but trying never hurts. I guess I'll give it a shot, but I have Verizon. | ||

It's only giving me 3 options. 1. Only use Google Voice for international calls. 2. Do not use Google voice to make any calls 3. Ask every time I make an international call. | ||

edit: when this option is enabled and active, a little red icon appears in my notification bar on the top left. Looks like a little speech bubble. | ||
