OMG so I checked the FAQ for my supplier (Aldi mobile):
Can I use WiFi Calling when I’m overseas?
As long as you’re connected to a compatible WiFi network overseas, you will be able to make and receive voice calls at your standard rate; as if you were still in Australia.
I can’t believe it. All this time, I could have been doing that! Ha ha! Thank you!
Futo voice keyboard. I have never been able to send text messages so quickly, and it is incredibly accurate, and it is completely self-hosted on my phone, and does not need network.
