Of course. Why would it be any different than any other call you placed or received on your phone?

It is hard to avoid communicating with uber dirver before we can locate each other
I guess each situation is different, but I've never had to talk with an Uber driver before pickup. I get their car make and model, license plate number, and picture on my phone before they arrive. When I spot them, if I'm not already obvious, I just wave to get their attention.

I used it a couple of times last week in Copenhagen and it worked wonderfully. No different than using it in the US, other than that the "standard" cars were tiny.
