Some problems cannot be solved with an email, a chat widget, or a WhatsApp message. These are those moments.
Your mother's bank flagged a wire transfer and wants voice verification. The branch does not have email support. You need to call, explain, and sort it out. Right now, from your laptop.
A flight changed, a hotel overbooked, or a rental company lost your reservation. The automated system loops forever. You need a human on the line, and you are not paying roaming rates to get one.
Visa appointments, document questions, travel advisories. Embassies and consulates still handle most of this by phone. You need the call to go through clearly, not drop after 30 seconds on an unstable internet call.
