Q: “I’m with Vodacom and traveling to the UK next month. Does WiFi calling work when overseas, and will I get charged international rates if I use it?”

A: Good question! WiFi calling should route through the internet, not cellular roaming. Most SA networks treat WiFi calls as local calls, but check with Vodacom directly. Works well in hotels; public WiFi may block necessary ports. Safe travels! :airplane:
