Best Android wifi calling option for kids
  • Thanks, if none of the parents are already using Signal I could get them to verify their own phone numbers - but that's me assuming one-off SMS verification, not if you have to keep the SIM in the phone

  • I can easily get phone numbers to register a messenger account or similar, but not so interested in an ongoing cost like a dumb phone

    None of the families are really home server types, so I would have to maintain any server client solution for them which is less than ideal

    Is discord better than messenger, whether it's ease of use, quality, privacy etc.?

  • I have a few old Android phones around, and having a phone service would be a recurring cost (albeit small)

    I also thought that having Messenger would restrict the calls to numbers that had already been connected to the account, rather than trying to restrict the numbers a phone can call

    I want to set up a 'home phone' network for the kids in a couple of different households. The kids are too young to have their own phones, but are currently dependent on parents to contact each other in the way we did when we were kids

    My idea at the moment is to set up an old Android phone on the wifi in each house with messenger or similar, then uninstall all other internet apps and lock down the play store

    Does this sound like the best option? If there a better tool that is still cheap/free and will be relatively safe for the kids to use unattended?

  • That's because the Beatles broke up in 1970, so anyone who remembers them from their active years is well over 60, which would be really stretching the definition of middle-aged
