Sometimes you're calling a friend who already uses the same app as you. Other times you're trying to reach a hotel, a university, or a relative who still prefers a traditional phone call. That's why comparing Google Voice and WhatsApp isn't as straightforward as it might seem. WhatsApp is built around internet-based communication. If both people have the app installed, you can make voice and video calls without paying international calling fees. Google Voice takes a different approach. Instead of only connecting app users, it can also call regular mobile and landline numbers. This makes it useful when the person you're trying to reach isn't using the same platform. In this guide, we'll look at where each service performs best, where they fall short, and when an alternative such as Yolla may be a better fit. Need a Flexible Way to Call Abroad? With Yolla, you can make free calls and send free messages to other Yolla users, or call regular mobile and landline numbers in more than 190 countries."}
