Pay-As-You-Go Rates:

The pay-as-you-go rates for Wi-Fi calling can vary significantly depending on the carrier and destination. It’s essential to check with your carrier before traveling to avoid unexpected charges.

How to Avoid Charges:

• Use a Wi-Fi calling app: Several apps, such as WhatsApp and Skype, allow you to make calls over Wi-Fi without incurring charges from your carrier.
• Connect to a local Wi-Fi network: If you have access to a local Wi-Fi network, you can use your carrier’s Wi-Fi calling feature without being charged for roaming.
