The issue is with WhatsApp. You can put a block on calls directly dialed from your line but that block does not apply to called handed off from other things, like WhatsApp handing your call off to cellular, which them makes it billable.

This has been a concern for many WhatsApp users around the world for over a year now. The solution is, don’t use WhatsApp or other apps for long distance calls that can hand your call off to cellular.
