I hope you guys understand my question, as somebody who has used VOIP on very limited times.
On a regular phone call, there is a constant line of communication, meaning both sides could talk at the same time if they wanted. I thought VOIP would be like this, but in my experience VOIP is a short audio message you send, the other side hears it and sends you an answer, nothing wrong with that.
I want to talk to family, I don’t want to use whatsapp and I’m experimenting with SimpleX Chat. It allows me to send short audio files as audio messages, but it’s still not a continuous LOC. Would whatsapp be the same?
And yes Whatsapp telegram matrix… They all create a line of communication like a normal phone. Just shittier, all of them, in my opinion. Latency, shitty connectivity and too long line length (back and forth from their servers) make the call experience pretty bad in my own limited experience. (Ymmv, specially if you have good data / wifi coverage everywhere you are).
