Facebook Launches Free VoIP Calls Service in the USA
Published on:
Just a few days after launching a free VoIP service in Canada, Facebook has expanded the service to its USA based customers as well.
The mobile VoIP service is currently free of charge and marks the latest in a series of attempts by the company to generate revenues from its mobile user base. In order to expand the popularity of the service, the company recently opened its Messenger App to people who don't have a Facebook account.
Currently the service is only available for Apple iPhone users and only between users who both have the Facebook Messenger app installed. Facebook said it will add the feature to its Messenger app for Android and BlackBerry users.
The service relies though on the mobile users own mobile data plan - which could hold back attempts to launch the service in some countries were the networks routinely block VoIP services.
