That section you quote is about calling international numbers while on wifi. |

|
Date: October 22nd, 2018 4:14 PM Author: Stubborn parlor twinkling uncleanness From Verizon (the ATT policy is the same): What is Wi-Fi Calling? Wi-Fi Calling is a High Definition (HD) voice service that uses a High Speed Internet connection to let you make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network.
The benefits of Wi-Fi Calling:
It's included at no additional charge with your existing voice plan and HD voice-compatible device. You make and receive calls with Wi-Fi using your phone number. Helps you connect when cellular service isn't available or you're having poor signal issues, like dropped calls. Wi-Fi calls to US numbers are free, even while traveling internationally. Video Calls no longer need an LTE connection to be initiated in Wi-Fi. |
|
Date: October 22nd, 2018 4:22 PM Author: cruel-hearted brass wrinkle hmm, looks restricted in a number of countries:
Wi-Fi Calling is restricted in the following countries: China, Saudi Arabia, India, Turkey, Israel, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, Pakistan, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.
https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/features/wifi-calling.html
i have a 5s so no wifi calling, but pddj has a 6, so i'm curious to try it in one of these other countries to see if it works. |
|
Date: October 22nd, 2018 4:28 PM Author: Stubborn parlor twinkling uncleanness I was just in Western Europe with ATT. Worked fine. I'm guessing the banned list is a gov't policy.
Really easy. No need to fire up an app or anything. Just make sure to leave your cellular radio off (the green one) or just leave it in airplane mode and manually enable wifi.
Also useful in the US because it will automatically drop to WiFi if you cell signal isn't strong in your office or house or whatever. |
|
Date: October 22nd, 2018 4:34 PM Author: cruel-hearted brass wrinkle either govt policy, or to prevent fraud. israel is an interesting one. i'm sure lots of americans who live in israel would probably abuse it.
i usually use a foreign sim card, so i suppose i'd just have to pop out the foreign sim card and put in the att one to use this. |
|
Date: October 22nd, 2018 3:57 PM Author: Stubborn parlor twinkling uncleanness That's calling an international number. US numbers are still free. It's basically just like you are in the US. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4111639&forum_id=2#37073514) |

Date: October 22nd, 2018 4:03 PM Author: Startling Massive Parlour Goal In Life verizon has this deal that lets you use your voice/data plan without any international charges for a per day fee of $10. i just use that if i ever have to make a long phone call and just call the local number since all major merchants (airlines, banks etc) have a local number. you can turn this on when you want so you can use it for one day only as you need
last trip i had to call american airlines from finland to change my booking at the last minute and it took me 35 mins. simply turned on this plan and made the call. didn't activate it for the next day
not the cheapest way for sure but probably the most convenient way |

if you are ever in an urgent situation where thousands of dollars of non refundable airline/hotel/football tickets are at stake its well worth the $10 bucks to talk stress free to shaniqua in the AA call center
as i said use this only when its really critical. i have used this only once in my life and was well worth it imo |
