The US became one of the first countries to receive free calling over VoIP using Facebook Messenger earlier this year. Unfortunately, the feature was limited to only iPhone users in the country. Now, Facebook is ready to roll the feature out for the large number of Android users of Facebook too.If you’re an Android user in the US, you will be able to use this feature right away, without even updating your app. To place a free call over VoIP, you will need to get to the profile of the person you want to contact on Messenger, hit the “i” button on the top right corner and select the “Free Call” option. Placing a phone call will send a push notification to your friends, who can choose to accept or reject your call. In case they do not have the Messenger app or it isn’t running in the background, you can leave them a voice message. Phone calls will be made over Wi-Fi if the option is available, or the app will use your data connection.Click here for full story
