# isVoIPAllowed()

Returns whether voice chat is available on the device.

```
class func isVoIPAllowed() -> Bool
```

## Return Value

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> if voice chat is available to the game.

## Discussion

Some countries or phone carriers may restrict the availability of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) services. Before creating a `GKVoiceChat` object, your game should first check to see whether the device supports VoIP.
