international calls on wifi?

ok guys, unfortunately i have to pay the full cost of the call that means almost 3 dol.
conclusion
no free international calls using wifi or uma unless youre paying for hot spot calling service, i hope that this helps to make this clear for all people with the same question than me.
you can help to pay my bill because of the contribution to the knowledge. lol
 
Actually it does not matter if you have hot spot service or not for international calls.

Here is the deal...when traveling, if your device is on WiFi/UMA, it is just like you are in the USA. If out of the country, if you can access WiFi then you an call home (To USA) with no long distance charge.
 
ok ok, im going to my country maybe next month, and in my bro's house they have their own wireless network if i can get the wifi to work i can call my gf to the USA just using my reg mins..
umm good deal, but anyways, now i know i cant call from the USA to others countries with out an international call plan
 
When I was overseas last month, I took my unlocked 8820, and I was not able to get on any network with my T-Mobile SIM in place- just a red SOS at the signal indicator, even though it did connect to a wifi network- it still would not dial out. Did I miss a step somewhere? I plan on going back out in a few months and I'd like to know how to do this right- thanks!
 
Riff, Any details re: what you tried and the results? What happened when you scanned for a network? Sounds like it connected from "...though it did connect to a wifi network..." but could you have had a setting error, like "Wi-Fi selection" not set to "automatic" or something like that?

Any details on settings and attempts would be good to know if you have them.
