Indian users of FB Messenger can now make free VoIP calls from Android devices
Facebook’s Messenger ‘VOIPFacebook’ has made its way into Indian Android devices, as the company has introduced the voice-calling feature for FB Messenger users. Facebook did not make an official announcement in the context, but as per various reports, the feature was rolled out some time in the last week.
This feature was primarily introduced on Android-based devices in March 2013, but was not available in India until now. The voice-calling feature for the Facebook Messenger enables users to call their Facebook contacts for free via a 3G or Wi-Fi network.
If you use Messenger, you can activate this feature on your smart device (smartphone or tablet) by first opening a message thread with a friend. Then tap the Android menu button and select Free Call. However, if you fail to see this option, the feature may not be operational at the moment on your device.
