With that Samsung S6 I downloaded the free Fongo app and just use that off my WiFi. The bonus, you can purchase 6 months of texting for $9.99. I kicked it up a notch though. I bring the phone with me wherever I go because I installed Google Rewards. With all those reward $$, I used it to pay for texting. I've had the same Fongo number for years now and haven't "paid" for texting. Just saying, my free option might be a better choice for some.

This way I can place a phone on each floor.

I have an idea though... back in the day I bought something very similar to these. I connected the bluetooth from my Samsung to these. When Fongo rang, it rang on the cordless phones and I used them to talk. I had one in the living room and one in the bedroom. So that might be an option. :-)

you get the app and all the benefits that forgo has as well

in fact you can get two numbers with magic jack for this price, a US number and a Canadian number with the ability to text/call using both

KenAdams wrote: ↑ No, just to answer unfortunately.

If you don't like that route, perhaps just a bluetooth headset will be good enough.

I have this still and use it on my PS4 and it's crisp and clean. Sometimes too crisp and clean when I'm playing Call of Duty and someone says... dude, did you just fart? :-)

It said right on the box, no other purchase required. Then when I tried to set it up, they wanted to charge me an extra $20 (at the time) to get a Canadian phone number. Their customer service is horrible!! Somewhere in India as usual.
