    Hey there, TPRays!

     

    Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! That is a great question about Wi-Fi calling and using text messages while in the Bahamas. First, check out this article about how to Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling. It has some great information for you about Wi-Fi calling. Just be sure you contact your carrier to see if that is available for you internationally. 

     

    For texting in the Bahamas, check out this article About iMessage and SMS/MMS. Specifically:

     

    If Wi-Fi is unavailable, iMessages will be sent over cellular data. Cellular data rates might apply.

     

    So you will want to be sure your devices are connected to Wi-Fi to use iMessages with Wi-Fi.

     

    Have a great day and enjoy your trip!
