I'm going to the UK this fall and would like to use Uber in London and possibly in Edinburgh as well. I will have a MiFi with me, so will have wifi wherever I go, as long as it's turned on.

To order Uber car I just use the app, correct? However, if driver needs to call me (as they seem to need to do a lot of the time) should I provide my Skype number -- and add that to my Uber account? -- or just hope they'll text instead and I can get it on my regular phone number. ?

I'm not sure I understand how this works, or even how to ask the question (obviously).
I travel to the DR often and recently started to use Uber there.

When I arrive it takes sometimes 1 hour for my Verizon Travel Pass to go into effect. So I have no phone number, however, if you have WIFI calling enabled on your phone you can and should be able to make phone calls as well as receive text. provided you have a smartphone with a provider that supports wifi calling.
