No Contract calling

I need a very inexpensive solution for my mother who is living in a community she will never leave. She has access to WiFi. I want a solution where she can make and receive calls and texts via WiFi with no service contract.

An iPhone without phone service I'm sure that this has been discussed. But my 11 year-old just received some money from a family visit. He wants a phone but I refuse to purchase a phone service right now. He seems to think he can use it just for texting friends and wifi when possible. What's the point? I guess so he can have something smaller than his iPad to take around. Any thoughts? Input?

iPad mini 1 not allowing terms and services My father in law is now in dialysis and we wanted to give him our old iPad mini 1 (original model) but I can’t seem to get the T&C to actually come up. It just gets stuck on the screen and never actually loads. I know apple stopped support years ago but I was hoping you guys could assist enough to just get him prime video loaded so he can watch his miniseries (the pacific - he’s a Vietnam vet) and try to pass the time while he’s in dialysis. I know it’s a long shot but he doesn’t have long (terminal unfortunately) so we don’t want to spend a lot on a newer one for him when he can use this one if possible. initially I thought I was getting stuck because my internet was just the hotspot from my iPhone 11pro but I have full cell and WiFi signal now and it’s still stuck

She can use FaceTime which does not require any Cellular Service.

There are many third-party apps which offer Phone Number services without Cellular Services which will only work with WiFi.

SravanKrA, Thank you very much. I was thinking about Google Fi since it is only $20.00 per month and will still allow her to make and receive calls. Facetime is a great idea. Thanks again!
