Hi all,

I am visiting Europe and need a VOIP system, that gives me an Australian number I can call other Australian numbers from.

I looked at Teams, and they bundle with Telstra (Australian local provider), but the cost is high, and the checklist / setup list MS sent me was something that you’d almost need a certificate in infrastructure just to setup. They are living in a dreamland.

I then tried a company called Krispcall. It’s IDEAL in every situation, except a bit pricey, and it just Does. Not. Work. Firefox, Android, Chrome, etc. Fail after fail after fail. What a shame, it looked so good.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I’d really appreciate a nod in a proven directly.

Another called Callhippo caught my eye. I’m just not sure, after being burned by Krispcall.

UPDATE! Solved!

I can use WiFi calling on my normal phone, and it’s used as though it’s in Australia, incurring no extra costs. How easy is that!

      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!
