Lol. WiFi calling just means that you are able to get coverage through the internet when you are, say, in a building which doesn't normally get cellular signals. You are still being routed through the T-Mo network and charged at their rates. As someone suggested, look at a VOIP provider like Google Voice for cheaper Intl calls.
