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.

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.
