In your case I would test coverage with "any" app, besides counterpath, you can try the free 3cx (Android and iOS) app and others. The biggest thing you will find with wifi -- battery life/talktime (especially when received wifi signals are weak), don't hold up nearly as long as DECT. So your wifi deployment, coverage has a lot to do with battery life and talktime.
