I used WhatsApp to make an international phone call as I thought it was free while connected to my home WiFi.

But PAYG balance of roughly £11 got used up

It's completely free to use WhatsApp over wifi @BK48 but you will get charged for data use if your wifi dropped out during the call.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Whatsapp is only free if calling another user who has the app on their wifi

This has also happened to me, even though I used Whatssap, I am trying to remove my spend cap but don’t seem to be able to through the app. It keeps directing me to a help page. Any suggestions?
