WiFi calling and receiving calls? I have an American T-Mobile phone and contract and am quite impressed with the calling and receiving of calls over WiFi. It means even when I'm in the UK I call US numbers as if I am there with no roaming etc..

Can you also call UK numbers in the UK over wifi with no charge?

When you are on WiFi it doesn't look where you are, so it just uses the US plan. Having said that they have GOOD plans, so for $15/month I can call 30 countries for free.

I have a UK mobile as well, I just travel quite a lot and wanted a US number that people could call / I can call out. I used to use Skype with a US number for a while which was great, but then people started sending texts which Skype can't cope with.

Please explain further - I have no problem sending or receiving texts via Skype.

You can't receive text messages on your Skype Number: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA331/what-is-a-sky...

*UPDATE*

It's been a stressful few days with Voda.

I bought a 3gb card to test the gear. All good.

I went away fro the day and came back, dialled into the router to see I was up to 3,85gb - So over by nearly a GB and down another £33.

New 12 month SIM gone in today, £40pm, and 20GB Data, which is clearly not going to be enough. I have a 3month unlimited data Test Drive, so have some breathing space til May 13th, but I'm concerned what I am going to do after that!

Windows Update this month was huge, about 1 GB on my two machines :-/

This is where I prefer EE who stop when your allowance runs out, rather than charging you more. The test drive should help get the average usage worked out.

Can't recall the situation for the original poster with regards to fixed line, but consider a slow ADSL line might be more economical for the monthly patch/cycle and other large updates. Keeping precious fast allowance on the mobile SIM for when you want it fast.

Unfortunately, I have no ADSL option at all....

Can you provide your post code so I can look at some options for you? Private message me it if you are comfortable doing so.
