Are WhatsApp, FaceTime, or other social media apps blocked in Azerbaijan? Will our group need a VPN with Triply?

This is an important point for groups traveling to Azerbaijan. The government can, at times, block or throttle social media and VoIP calls (like WhatsApp calls, FaceTime, or Skype), especially during political events. While text messaging usually works, making calls might be challenging without a VPN. Triply provides reliable data, but for uninterrupted access to all communication apps for your whole crew, especially for calls, we strongly recommend using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) while in Azerbaijan.
