Phone for Fongo at home
Might be able to go to US in the fall, am looking for a basic smartphone I can use as a "home phone". I used to have VOIP with ATA and using cordless handsets around the house. I ported over to Fongo earlier this year. I find it's great except that I have a tablet and if a call goes on for more than a couple minutes, it's kind of annoying to hold the tablet to make sure my voice gets captured by the mic.
Am looking at the Alcatel Ideal AT&T prepaid at BestBuy

I'd be using it as a wi-fi device as my home phone basically, just running the Fongo app. I think it'll be ok for that. Or should I stay away from Alcatel?
Also, I have FreedomPop sims, so I'd like to be able to use them when I'm in the US. I have a Moto E2 as well, and I've used the sims in that when I was in the US earlier this year, worked great. I figured this new "wifi home phone" ought to be able to also be used with my FP sims so I could use it to call the Moto E (eg we are split up for the day - edit: I'm referring here to when travelling outside Canada). Since it's an AT&T phone, I'm assuming the Freedompop LTE sim will work fine as is (since that service is on AT&T), but I would probably have to unlock it if I use a Global sim? My Moto E2 is unlocked so I could put a Global sim in that phone and the LTE sim in the other phone. From a quick look on ebay, it looks like unlock codes are cheap too.
