Those who followed the event , last Tuesday, saw firsthand the presentation of Graph Search service . Today, however, Facebook quietly launched another interesting feature. The new ability to make calls using the application of social network messaging.
The site The Verge informed that the Messenger app for iPhone has a new button for free calls, only for United States users.
This initiative had been already tested in Canada earlier this month, where he was told that the service would soon in the United States.
Now Facebook has launched today confirms that the app with this functionality, without giving additional information about the expansion of the same service to other countries or mobile operating systems.
The service, it seems, is not yet available to all users, even within the North American continent, some tests were made in return "Free Calling Unavailable".
The process appears to be quite simple. Calls can be made either via WiFi and 3G or 4G network with, you choose the contact you want to chat and click on the i that appears on your profile.
The person on the other side receives a message via Push notification to accept the call or not (since both are using iOS and within the United States).
This is another method that can be used, but now with a scenario of millions of users. We are talking about a much larger scale, with implications that may have an impact of another magnitude, as we talk about communications without associated tariff, without any cost or operators besides Internet package that may or may not have a cost to the user's iPad iPod Touch or iPhone.
It will be the beginning of the end of the mobile operators?
