iPhone 8/Plus international call work around..

[iWheeler]

unusual question but i need to make an international call however my plan doesn't allow it (im in canada trying to call the UK), though i thought what if i facetime a relative in the UK, they answer on their iPad, then they call the company on their phone and put the 2 on loudspeaker.. would this be clear enough to speak to each other? as facetime is very clear.

i was thinking of possible ways with some cable to maybe route the mic from one to the other but i'm not sure its possible.

I guess it could work if you put the 2 loud speakers in a way that they won’t interfere with each other. But time lag could be an issue.

Might as well purchase a Skype international calling package for uk. Could cost few bucks. It’s easier and cheaper this way. Or you can check out other apps that provide international calling services.

I guess it depends on how important the call is to you (and how much you're willing to pay for a good/stable connection).

A long time ago I used calling cards for international calls (back when it cost $2-3/minute to call overseas on a mobile) and more recently, SIP providers (I think I used callcentric.com last time I needed local numbers in several countries, for work) ...

I live as an expat in Indonesia and frequently
need to make person to person calls to Australia. I use Skype for this and I have found it to be by far the cheapest method.

yeah the issue was i needed to contact HMRC so skype etc is not an option, i did it through loud speaker and was actually ok, lag wasn't an issue just the phone line their end wasn't that clear but regular phone calls often aren't great.
