#WiFiCall

2025-12-02

This is a long shot but does anyone know of any Android apps that can do cheap international calls over #VoIP/wifi that work in #Palestine (#Gaza)? Ideally pay-as-you-go. Asking for a friend. He has tried a bunch of these but they either have broken email verification or say they don't work in his region.

It would need to be able to call actual phone numbers, not just something like FaceTime or WhatsApp.

Könnte es daran liegen, dass dein #wlancall / #wificall mit #vodafone und #pihole nicht funzt?

"DNS is important !

Currently Vodafone Germany allows WiFi Calling for their German customers only from Germany, but they do not check the phone’s public IP to decide where it comes from. Instead they use the IP address the DNS query comes from.

This has the consequence that the DNS server you use must have a geolocation IP from Germany.

As of my knowledge these DNS servers do not work:

Google’s public DNS-resolver (8.8.8.8 + 8.8.4.4)
…"

#pihole hat ausgerechnet den Google DNS als Standard drin 🤦🏻‍♂️ Vielleicht können Dich meine DNS Antwortzeiten-Messwerte etwas inspirieren (zuhause bin ich auch Vodafone Kunde) - Achtung: zum vergleichen werden auch #privacy missachtende DNS mitgemessen!

Im #JoshuaTreeNP sitzen und sich von der #LeaseAI per #WiFiCall via #Starlink ne Zusammenfassung vom Park und verschiedene Informationen vorlesen lassen.
