Re: Why is T-mobile charging for WhatsApp international video calls?
tidbits wrote: It's NOT the carriers. It's how whatsapp handles calls. If the handoff fails it'll go through cellular instead of OIP. To ensure you don't go over cellular turn off cellular before you make the call. This happens to ALL carriers around the world not just in the USA. Carriers can't prompt switching because it's NOT their choice to switch you over it's whatsapp. Also FCC got rid of those prompt calls unless you are calling collect or it's a party line last I remember. It has gotten worse the past few years since Facebook or Meta if you will took over Whatsapp. WhatsApp does not switch calls over to the phone line. It might use cellular data if the WiFi is not good, but that is not a reason for the carriers to charge per minute fee for data usage for which they already charge, either based on limited gigabytes or unlimited data plans.4Visto0likes0Comentarios
