Make and receive wifi calls without a number - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a sick relative who wants to make and receive incoming calls in the hospital. I have an old nexus, and Galaxy 3. I was trying to figure out how to have it accept and make incoming calls over wifi. It has no number.
I tried google voice but it wants to forward calls to a number. He does not have a number.
I appreciate the help as always from this wonderful forum.

out going call private mode

hello all
i am curious to know if there is a way to make my phone number private for certain contact. is there an app that makes my outgoing calls private? other than adding *67 to each contact.
i have a work phone that forwards all the incoming calls to my personal phone. there are times that i have to a followup call and i use my personal phone number. i have change my number 3 times in the past 4 month. any suggestion will be appreciated. thank you.
*67 then number you want to dial for example *67-(555)-555-5555

Have you tried Google Voice? You can call clents from that number and control access on how and when it can notify(I love the call block feature) you.
I believe the phones also have an automatic prepend feature (normally adds the +1 for dialing) I think you can change it to whatever you want (e.g *67)
The only thing I know to do is either, add *67 each time or change their contact information to include it.
Alternatively you can have it added to your phone at the Sprint level. It unfortunately is not select-able and will make all calls private. The problem with that, I found, was MANY people won't answer blocked calls.

Pbxes / GV on ICS native Wifi

First of all I apologize if this already has been discussed on this forum. I have looked but couldn't find anyone discussing this issue.
I have a galaxy Nexus that is setup for pbxes/ google voice incoming / outgoing calls. When I receive a call it looks like this on screen
John [email protected]
but since this number is in my contacts list it appears as John +1 512-425-4277 on call log screen.
When I hit the number to call back nothing happens. But when I manually enter the number +1 512-425-4277 it dials fine. Seems like Pbxes can't dial back to the same number it sends with incoming call. What am i missing in the configuration so that wifi outbound calling works fine for a regular number but not for internet number. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Did you every get this fixed?
No. I am now using cell phone minutes to receive and google voice/ pbxes to make calls.

[Q] Multiple simultaneous calls to same number?

Does anyone know of an app or method of instantiating a number of simultaneous calls to the same number, with all other calls being dropped as soon as one connects? Kind of the opposite of those spam calls that phone multiple numbers and drop the rest as soon as someone answers.

Block outgoing calls and messages, but allow incoming

Hi all! First time poster so if I do anything wrong or if this belongs elsewhere, please tell me and I'll move along ?
So im doing a project where we want to receive messages but not be able to send them, so my question is, is there a software that can block or disable outgoing calls and messages to any number, while allowing incoming call and message to be received ?
I'm not sure if this is possible and if not I'd love to hear the theory behind it and why it is so, if not I'd really appreciate any help.
