  • It does seem to be a bit of a toss-up between countries whether or not you will actually get charged. Supposedly international visitors to the UK are supposed to get charged but no one seems to know how to actually bill anyone, so it never happens. Weirdly the government doesn’t seem all that interested in fixing it either, so it kind of just exists as a pseudo international free healthcare service.






  • Whatsapp doesn’t use the SMS protocol though so if you send a WhatsApp message it doesn’t appear as a text message it appears in the WhatsApp app, you have to have the app installed so it is a significant distinction to make.

    When I’m dealing with clients I’m mostly told to send them a WhatsApp message but occasionally they will tell me to send a text message and that means that they don’t have WhatsApp and I actually have to use the SMS system. They just say WhatsApp or text and know that I’ll be able to work it out.
