As announced at a San Francisco conference on Oct 18 according to a report, Uber is offering a fourth way for users to communicate with drivers and vice versa: in-app data calling. 

For many countries across the world, it’s cheaper to make calls over the Internet than cellularly; if you’re an international traveller, data calling is often the only option. It’s no wonder a global transportation service like Uber would want to join the VoIP (or Voice over Internet Protocol) movement. In fact, the ride-hailing service has been working on the feature since June, but it became available just last week, according to The Verge.
