Voice over LTE (or VoLTE) is changing international roaming worldwide
Soon, the USA and Singapore will begin making changes to their networks, with other carriers and countries following throughout 2022/2023. As these changes are made, the calls you make while roaming internationally will be done over the 4G Plus network using VoLTE (Voice over LTE) roaming.

VoLTE roaming calls are available for all Prepaid customers with compatible devices and software.
