Plingm, the Swedish mobile VoIP app, has introduced free phone calls for Facebook's one billion users. Plingm users with an iPhone can call their contacts on Facebook directly. India has over 59 million Facebook users, which means that more than 73 percent of the online population in India uses the social media tool. Thanks to a back-end solution developed by Plingm, Facebook users can now also call and talk with their Facebook friends for free anywhere in the world. "Mobile numbers are legacy.  By calling friends with our Facebook feature, you can always reach the person you want to speak to even if they change their number", says Pandelis Eliopoulos, co-founder of Plingm. "With the growing use of social media, the possibility to call your Facebook friends directly without a phone number is a logical evolution of mobile communication."
