Some "experts" may say that Apple products are special because there is a feature available on later OSs that allow calling from your cell phone through your wifi, no cell signal available. However, the "special" designation is not true.
No matter what your cell phone operating system brand, Windows, Apple, or Android, you can make and receive calls using wifi only to and from your cell phone using Google Hangouts. This is an app available through whatever app store you use. I've used it myself and it has additional features over and above what is available with the Apple OS, such as aggregated calling, where all your different phone numbers get routed to your cell phone, integrated video and SMS. If you are familiar with Skype, it is a lot like that desktop application, but it works with cell phones... (as does the Skype App, but Skype does not work to your cell phone number.)
