    And the British government is terrified so has started throwing the book at it's citizens just like Canada did with the truckers.  Ironic as this was caused by the government's immigration policy for ages.  The government can't understand that oil and water won't mix in a million years.

    I am torn trying to decide which of those two groups you mentioned are the biggest losers.  At least these clowns smashed up a mosque and roughed up some cops.  Those 'truckers' stood around at some remote border crossing in the middle of nowhere in buttf**k Alberta picking their noses.

  2. The convicted felon's head is exploding...again.

    Quote

    As Democratic presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris introduced her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, at a fiery campaign rally in a packed arena in Philadelphia on Tuesday, former president Donald Trump was melting down on Truth Social.

     

    The GOP’s nominee posted arguably his craziest social media rant — a wacked-out fantasy that President Joe Biden would change his mind about stepping out of the race and demand the nomination back.

     
     
     

    The what-was-that post left people wondering what was wrong with Trump:

     
     

    “What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST president in the history of the US, whose presidency was unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer and others on the lunatic left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE. He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the US presidency, a COUP, to the people in the world he most hates. And he wants it back NOW!!!”

    Thanks everyone for the info. As to the setting above, I had already set it.

    The problem was another setting which was causing Voice to try and use a mobile number. Even Voice Help did not mention it. There are so many different settings these days that it's hard to get them right sometimes.

    Anyway, that one little change did it and I was able to call directly from Voice.

    What was the other setting?

    Yes it been perfect for me also, seems some people just don't like the competition from WizzTV I've only had a issue once a few months back and after reading this was due to the internet issues across Asia but my internet provider fixed the issues within a week and now no issues again, I honestly do think WizzTV is the best and most reliable provider but you need a good system don't be a cheap Charlie buy a decent device like Amazon 4k firestick and get a fast network 

    I have an Amazon 4k firestick.  That is NOT where the bottleneck is.  People who don't see any buffering must watch the UK sports channels, which seem to work better.  I am only interested in movie channels and experienced lots of buffering.  The UK movie channels worked much better than the US movie channels though.

     Thanks for the reply. However I am not new to Voice - I have been using it for 15-20 years.

    People here have said that they called with Voice from Thailand. They didn't mention if they have a real phone in the US also. Because I cannot call directly from Voice - it wants to connect to a real mobile phone. This has always been the case, when I visit the US I have to get a phone line first.

    This is what I was curious about. Since it was not mentioned if  Voice connected to a real phone. If there is some way of calling from Voice directly I would like to know it.

    I call directly from GV all the time.   There is a call setting in the GV app that defaults to use your mobile carrier to make calls.  Just change that to use WiFi and mobile data instead. 

     

    Settings > Calls > Make and receive calls > Select "Prefer Wi-Fi and mobile data"

  6. Five days before Donald Trump became president in January 2017, a manager at a bank branch in Cairo received an unusual letter from an organization linked to the Egyptian intelligence service. It asked the bank to “kindly withdraw” nearly $10 million from the organization’s account — all in cash.

     

    Political appointees (Bill Barr) rejected efforts to search for additional evidence investigators believed might provide answers, then closed the case.

     

     

    "US gov't investigators saw hallmarks of an international money-laundering operation in the way funds moved into and through...accounts ahead of [the] cash withdrawal, indications of a potential crime that may or may not have been related to an effort to help Trump"

     

     

     

    This WaPo link is largely paywalled but the youtube video interviews one of the reporters and quotes the article.

     I am not charged except my monthly $25 to use unlimited talk & text without wifi in the USA & when in Thailand I connect via wifi calling (Apple Iphone) & receive no additional charges. Been doing so for many years now

     

    Of course in the USA I am only charged my flat $25 a month to connect using the cell towers. (calls within the USA) But what I am saying is wifi calling while out of the country incurs no additional charges for roaming or international calling which I think is nice because yes while in the USA they DO charge to send international texts / pictures etc which of course I never do

     

    So I do not think in my/AT&T case it is the same

    I thought I just said that.  In other words you are charged the same.  The WiFi calling is not free, it's part of your unlimited talk&text. The thing you seem to be getting confused about is the WiFi part.  It's free in the same way as anything else you do on the internet is 'free'.  It's the internet....soooo yea it's 'free', technically.  That has nothing to do with the talk&text part.  That still goes through At&t and it is metered the same as any other call through their cell towers, based on whatever plan you have.

    Happy to report my AT&T always works great from Thailand & is free (no additional charges for calling from Thailand using wifi calling) . I also have the cheapest AT&T base plan which is $25 a month unlimited talk & text. Have had it for 8 years now. What is extra nice about it is I also receive calls from the USA while in Thailand for our three months a year stays. It caller ID's them as usual & it appears to them I am still in the US. Only downside if of course some folks call in the middle of the night 😅

    If your plan includes unlimited talk&text then it will be the same on WiFi calling.  In other words, you will be charged the same.

    Can you imagine the chaos it would cause if they ever started to build it. The whole of Pattaya would grind to a halt.

    The whole of Pattaya is already grinding to a halt.  They have to do something because it will only get worse.  They already made beach road and 2nd road (and probably buakao soon) one way so some kind of mass transportation is the next step.
