I'm not a fan of Meta, but all of my international family rely heavily on WhatsApp.

It also seems that Signal supports VoIP calling, but I have not tried it.

Well, I have family that is old enough not to manage to use WhatsApp. They have a smartphone. WhatsApp is set up. I can never reach them on it.

But they use Skype?

[–] Mad_Punda@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

No, but Skype allows to make calls to landlines (and mobile phones).
