I am now going to need a Smart Phone for controlling my new hearing aids. We frequently camp in an area with wifi but no and I mean NO cell coverage and cell via wifi would be nice. So my questions are, do I need a data plan for hearing aid control or calling via wifi and can I do it from a tablet?

this is called VoIP "voice over Internet Protocol"
services like Majic Jack use this
