Hello. 

i am trying to find out if calling an international number through whatsapp is free on pay monthly sim only plan.

i have used this with wifi active and each time i get a warning text from ID stating that international calls are not free.

as i understand it, whatsapp uses wifi not cellular, so why am i getting these messages?

 

thanks

Okay @ruddlescounty, all WhatsApp requires for an International call is an Internet connection, whether through a Wi-Fi network, or by using your iD mobile data. 

The recipient also needs to be using WhatsApp.

When using iD mobile data (not Wi-Fi), the call would be ‘free’ if within the mobile data allowance of your iD plan.

Why iD Mobile?
