Facebook has started tests
of a VoIP based calling service within its
mobile app, but it is available only for users based in Canada and the united states
at the moment.
Facebook mobile application which runs on both iOS and Android
smartphones has rolled out an upgrade that includes the ability to record a voicemail
and send it to other users.
At present, this VoIP service is free
of charge and marks the latest in a series of
attempts by the company to generate revenues
from its mobile user base but we can't what their future plans could be.
Canadians wanting to try out the VoIP
service need to download the latest version of
the Messenger App and also initiate a
call by pressing the “i” button in the top corner
of the phone screen.
The service relies on the
users own mobile data plan, this could hold
back attempts to launch the service in some
countries were the networks routinely block
VoIP services.
Facebook has also opened its Messenger App to people
who don’t have a Facebook account
