| WhatsApp calling ***Andriod ONLY***
I just found out there is whatsapp calling.
All you need is the latest version of whatsapp and someone that already has the feature to call you. 
free long distance calling with whatsapp now 
PM me with your number if you need an invite

So it sounds like it's Whatsapp calling another Whatsapp only?
If that's the case, then the voice calling from Google Hangout would still absolutely kick its a$$. Free calls to anywhere, land line or otherwise across North America. It even works on cellular data only.

Google Voice is the thing that gives you a personalized phone number.
With Google Hangout (the voice call app), it's a separate download from Google Play Store. When you use it to call someone, I think it shows up either as a blocked/private number, or it shows a US number on caller ID. On my phone, I can make this Google Hangout call when my phone is on WiFi, or when my phone is on cellular data. From experience, the call quality is noticeably worse when I make the call on cellular data. But hey, it still works well enough, and I can make calls throughout North America, be it landlines or cell phones, or whatever, all for free.
note: Obviously, if you exceed your mobile data plan quotas, then you'd get charged for that.

Can't justify a $30 voiceplan when I rarely call. Ported my old number to Fongo for $25 (one time fee), and Fongo (like Hangout but with a callable number) has worked well enough for me as long as I'm on a minimum of 3G speeds.
If in an emergency, Fido's data only plans allow calls for $1/minute. Calls to 911 might be free.

is hangout then same as "hangouts" i'm assuming yes...i had it already installed on my S5 and tried making a call to my wife but it says i need to invite her to make the call? how's that going to work if i'm trying to call a landline?
EDIT: i see that for android you need to download the Hangout Dialer app
