ONE Plan Unlimited 55 in the Philippines
As the title says, we have the ONE Plan Unlimited 55 plan and we're headed to the Philippines. I have a couple of questions: We still get unlimited SMS and data, right? Are there any restrictions? ...
- Unlimited texts. Check
- Free WiFi calling to the US and incoming WiFi calls.
- Data Pass also gives free calls during pass validity.

They say "unlimited calling" but I kind of believe that if you placed a bunch of calls to an Iridium line (normally $15/min) you'd find out that's not what they meant. They really aren't all that specific about what they mean by "unlimited".
If you use a VoIP app, like Viber or Google Voice, you can normally get by without the Data Pass. You just have to manage your phone usage and think about it, rather than just using the phone as usual.
Thank you again, drnewcomb! Yes, that's causing my confusion. I don't know what "unlimited calling" really means. We're ok as long as we have the unlimited SMS and data (albeit not premium speed). We can get by with Messenger for voice but there may be occasions when we have to call people who are not tech-savvy and only know how to use regular cell/landline service.
I’ll look into Google Voice and refresh my Viber knowledge.
