You can pay your bill online. You just go to the companies website and make a password and username and log in and pay your bill. IDK if you’re going to do that or not but it’s possible.

Yes.

Here’s the whole conversation I had with ChatGPT about this:

Today 3:03 PM

When my phone plan ends can I use WiFi to make calls

Yes. **If your cellular phone plan ends, you can still make calls over Wi-Fi** , but it depends on how you make them:

- **Wi-Fi calling through your carrier:** Usually requires an active cellular plan, so this generally **won’t work after the plan is canceled**.
- **Internet calling apps:** These can work with Wi-Fi even with no cellular service. Examples include **FaceTime Audio, WhatsApp, Google Meet, Messenger, and Skype**.
- **Emergency 911:** Don’t assume Wi-Fi apps will provide reliable 911 access after your cellular service ends.

So if you want to **keep your regular phone number and make ordinary phone calls without cellular service** , that’s a little different—we can go over the best options.

Today 4:53 PM

are those internet apps free

Yes. **Most of those apps are free to use over Wi-Fi** , as long as the other person uses the same app (or the service supports calling their number).

- **FaceTime Audio** — Free to call other Apple users.
- **WhatsApp** — Free voice calls to other WhatsApp users.
- **Messenger** — Free calls to other Messenger users.
- **Google Meet** — Free calls/video calls between users.
- **Skype** — Free for Skype-to-Skype calls; calling regular phone numbers can cost money.

So if you cancel your phone plan but keep **Wi-Fi at your apartment** , you can still talk to friends and family without paying for cellular service.

If you’re mainly concerned about **being able to call anyone’s regular phone number** , I can explain the cheapest way to do that without a cell-phone plan.

Explain the cheapest way to call regular phone numbers without a cell-phone plan

Yes. If you cancel your cell-phone plan but keep **Wi-Fi** , the cheapest options are:

1. **Google Voice** — probably the best choice for you.
  - You can get a U.S. phone number.
  - Calls to regular U.S. and Canadian numbers are generally **free**.
  - You can make calls using Wi-Fi from your computer or supported mobile setup.
  - You don’t need a cellular plan to use the service over Wi-Fi.

2. **TextNow** — another very inexpensive option.
  - Gives you a phone number.
  - You can make calls over Wi-Fi.
  - The basic service is free, although there are paid options for additional features and keeping your number.

3. **Skype** — useful if you need to call regular phone numbers, but **calling phone numbers isn’t generally free**. You pay for calling credits or a calling plan.

### What I’d recommend

If you’re planning to **completely cancel your cell service but keep your home Wi-Fi** , I’d look at **Google Voice first**. You could have a regular-looking U.S. phone number and use your phone over Wi-Fi to make ordinary calls.

One important thing: **don’t cancel your existing cellular service until you’ve transferred your current phone number** , if you want to keep that number. Once the carrier account is canceled, you may lose the number.

If you tell me **which carrier you have now (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) and whether you have an iPhone**, I can explain exactly how you could set this up.

My iPhone has a built in feature that allows calls to be made via WiFi, not sure if you use Apple, though.
