Facebook has added one more feather of Voice Call option to their crown of services. I mean to say that Facebook has introduced Free Voice Call feature in India. But this feature is restricted to users of Messenger App only. For rest of the users this feature was not made available. Initially Facebook has rolled out this killer feature in USA and Canada last year. And now its turn of India to get this update. Facebook has released this killer feature along with the updated version of Facebook Messenger in the second week of March, 2014. With this Free Voice Call option you can make free calls to your friends who are in other countries also.

With this feature you can make free call to your friends in friend list but data charges will be applicable for these free calls. But one thing you should keep in mind is that you can call to the friends who are using Facebook Messenger App in their Smartphone. The update of Free Voice call feature is updated for both IOS and Android Facebook Messenger Apps. This free call option works in on all the Internet connections like 2G, 3G and Wi-Fi. But call quality is superior in Wi-Fi connections when compared to all. Facebook Messenger was released on August 9, 2011 for both IOS and Android.
TO MAKE A FREE VOICE CALL:
1. IN ANDROID:
For Android operating system this update is already released in Facebook Messenger App. In order to make a free voice call from Android Facebook Messenger App it is very simple and easy ....
- Open Facebook Messenger App in your Android smartphone.
- Then select a conversation thread of a friend from friend list, who have Facebook Messenger App in their smartphone.

on right side top of the screen. - Then call gets connected to your Friend you have selected.
You can call a friend if he is in online only otherwise you can not connect a call to your friend although he has Messenger app. In Android call interface is simple and is almost similar to normal mobile calls. Interface contains Facebook cover page as background and profile pic at the center. And at the bottom of screen you can speaker, Mute and navigation buttons.
2. IN IOS:
This is some what complex to make a free call in IOS when compared to Android. The procedure to initiate a free voice call in IOS is .....
- Go to IOS Facebook messenger App.
- Then select a friend from their conversation list.
- Then tap on the three dots (for new version) or "i" icon (for older version) on the top right side of the screen.

In IOS the call is notified to the users by the Push notification with the name of caller on the top of the screen.
You must note that you can not make Free Voice calls to your Facebook friend, who is presently logged in through normal mobile, Facebook website. To makes Free Voice call, both you and your friend should have Internet connection to smartphone equipped with Messenger App. After the end of free voice call a window is displayed asking you to rate the call quality.
Earlier in March, Facebook has introduced this Messenger App for Windows Phone 8. But unfortunately this app in Windows Platform does not support the latest features like Free Voice call and chat heads. Let us hope that his free voice call option will extend for more platforms like Windows based Phones, through website, Firefox operating system and the users.
