That's good to know. When I researched, that's something I found. It's quite annoying to be honest. Even talked to my dad and often times he said voice call is no good. I'll be traveling in a couple of days so I'll check if I can explore some apps based on suggestions.

Cool, thanks, I'll check it out. Still it'll be useful even if on a layover and as long as it works.
