There are apps that let you talk but many can't accomplish the HURDLES to get Whatsapp up and running.
Why fight this? I have a spare phone with a ZERO dollar a month plan from Freedompop. It's quite weird since it's unlimited Whatsapp even on cellular.
.You can take the SIM card out, put it into another phone, and if someone calls your number, the new phone will ring. You can also put a different SIM card in your unlocked phone, and your phone will then work with whatever phone number and account is linked to that card.
