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. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/schizophreniasupport/original/3X/d/a/da9f320ff258252fd1e82cfde59eb53ed0dc83ed.png) Tello Mobile AdMore options ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/schizophreniasupport/original/3X/a/7/a70b9bcf6b0784a1afafb238e4628d068841f201.webp) Tello Talk & Text Only Phone Plan $5 ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/schizophreniasupport/original/3X/6/6/664c508d859066a9e8a1e3bac803884ec2305f70.webp) Tello Unlimited Data, Talk & Text Plan $25 ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/schizophreniasupport/original/3X/d/9/d9205d5f4905749143694d71a153e000467d0ce0.webp) Tello 2GB, Unlimited Talk & Text Plan $10 ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/schizophreniasupport/original/3X/a/7/a70b9bcf6b0784a1afafb238e4628d068841f201.webp) Tello 20GB, Unlimited Talk & Text Plan $20 ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex012/uploads/schizophreniasupport/original/3X/f/a/fa3df5c54d5c0e00a58cc04f496a8eda4affa737.webp) Tello 10GB, Unlimited Talk & Text Plan $15 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. ---
