It means that your call is going through as data-packets over 4G/5G instead of a proper voice call via the 3G network. You need to check that the phone has VOLTE/VOWIFI in their specifications - they usually all do now - however, what you need to check is that Telstra is supported in their...

I'd be triple-checking that the phone supports VOLTE/VOWIFI for Australian phone providers - otherwise you will not be able to call over 4G networks. My European Android phone does not support any VOLTE/VOWIFI settings for Australian phone providers - making the phone useless here.

I was able to log in with no problems. Downgraded to Gold with 40 QCredits loaded and 4 lounge passes showing in my account.

Textnow is okay with a bit of ads - I have however opened a line with Tello and it works perfectly with wifi calls and sms in Australia.

Were you flying on a KE marketed and operated sector or an EY-marketed KE operated sector ? Lounge access is only for EY marketed and KE operated for lounge access. It is the same setup for ANA and was the setup for NZ. Etihad partners have different levels of partnership for frequent flyer...

The number is not checked - just to pass through the sign-up prompts. We signed up once we passed customs - wifi is mandatory to receive the eSIM - takes less than 5 minutes. It will only work if you open the app in the US, connected to a US IP address - if you try in Australia, it will...

Yes - as long as you can download the app - you will be good to go. Unlimited data and calls throughout the US - it worked very well. You will then be assigned an US phone number. Use the hotel address and their landline to sign up. If the Tmobile service doesn't work, consider the Verizon...

This would be the equivalent of a commercial fare but paid with your miles instead of cash which explains why the figure quoted is astronomical. QF used to also offer those fares on the booking page with points that confused many customers - it has now been moved to the payment page - still...

I was searching yesterday on Etihad and some OTAs and none of them are displaying ZL interline sectors. EY/VA codeshares are always shown first on EY's website -- with VA interline and then QF interline available on OTAs with EY/VA codeshares. I cannot see any ZL sectors connected to EY sectors...

Your luggage will be tagged to LAX with QF. At LAX, retrieve your luggage and check it again with AA.

Does anyone know which fare class in each fare category allows free seat selection prior to check-in ?

Had the same user case - it did not affect my bonus points / minimum spend. Got all my bonus points as signed up.

Use this link once logged-in : https://www.qatarairways.com/en/Privilege-Club/postLogin/dashboardqrpcuser/redeem-Avios.html You can then input details - it will then allow you to book VA awards.

None - some lounges allows Qatar Silver holders as noted on Qatar Lounge directory but Singapore is not one of them.

I was able to use a frequent flyer program that awarded Tier Miles no matter which fares I bought. Etihad Guest awards Tier Miles based on distance traveled - even on the lowest Economy Fare at the actual traveled distance. I was able to use this when I started commuting between France and...
