Please read the article. WhatsApp Call is a VoIP feature. This is disabled and blocked in the UAE. Similar to FB Messenger for voice or video calls. This applies to all local networks.

To use these apps for voice calls or sending voice messages:

- you need to employ a SIM card from out of the UAE roaming in the country. On roaming SIM cards these blocks are not enforced.

- or you need to employ a VPN on your local access. But this is illegal in the UAE and can be punished. So be careful. Not all VPNs work and on some access is so degraded that it becomes useless for voice calls.
