I have a 3 1/2 year old nexus 5x that has seen better days. I only use fi out of the country and it works perfect for me. I also have an unlocked Iphone 7 which i recently put my fi sim card in. I am torn between using the iphone or buying a new fi phone.

My questions are:

How are the data speeds using an iphone while out of the country. I am pretty sure fi won't let me use it as a hotspot but is the data essentially the same as using a made for fi phone.

On my nexus if I make an international call while in wifi I do not get charged because it defaults to voip. I am pretty sure that is not the case on the iphone. Is this correct? As a work around I can move to facetime and whatsapp correct?
