My brother got a job in London and is going to be away 24 weeks a year.

What's an app that we can use to talk on the phone that only uses data?

I'm in USA.

Thanks.

Have your bro sign up for a Google Voice line before he moves overseas.

Use Hangouts for all calls.

He'll have a US number.

Enjoy.

My wife uses WhatsApp to talk to her family in Indonesia with no problems (and no charges)

Download Viber and buy 10 dollars of credit, its like 15cents a min to call anywhere on earth

Its been said, but I used WhatsApp to talk to someone in China many years ago. You can text and talk for free over wifi.

WhatsApp does voice and video call over wi-fi. I’ve used it for years to keep in touch with my American contacts. It’s all free of charge.

WhatsApp is the answer you seek.

Another vote for watsapp. Especially if your bro is going to be in London.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Viber and whats app

 

[nush]

Another vote for watsapp.

 

[dorkimoe]

Discord I think has that option now

WhatsApp works great and is free(needs internet though) . I use it to talk to my sister who lives abroad.

Also if he is going to spend a lot of time in Europe he will probably end up downloading and using WhatsApp anyway

 

[Ash735]

If he's moving to London, it'd be best to get WhatsApp for him since unlike America who seem to have a fear of it there's a lot of people who use it in the UK. So yeah, another vote for WhatsApp.

 

[Bleepey]

WhatsApp like everyone said. You can test and call him using FaceTime audio and iMessage too.

 

[Ashes]

Any of the popular ones will work tbh. From Skype to whatsapp.

 

[rambis]

FB Messenger does this as well.

I've tried a few apps in the past. Whatapp has worked great for me. Typically I use it because we have some cell service deadspots, but still have access to wifi.

 

[llien]

Skype
Viber
WhatsApp
Google Hangouts
Facebook Messenger

Pretty much any other messenger with voice support.
