Voice Calling Feature Has Been Added To WhatsApp Messenger
Recently, android has added a voice calling feature to the application which allows users to make free calls to each other. This new feature was announced by the CEO of WhatsApp, Jan Koum, who stated that IPhone and Android users will soon be able to make internet phone calls using WhatsApp. He further stated that the updated version of the application will be available later to others users of Blackberry, Microsoft and Nokia Phones.
Before the new update to the application, WhatsApp had a feature of sending text messages along with image, audio and video files.
Money Saving Benefits Among Others
With its latest update, users can call their WhatsApp friends without any charges added. This new version of Whatsapp will allow users to save money they would normally spend on calling friends and relatives locally and internationally.The application uses the same data or Wi-Fi connection that the user’s phone is connected to and does not incur any extra charge for usage.
This new update of the application, WhatsApp v.4.0.0, has become a must-application for most smartphone users. The call feature in WhatsApp allows for:
- High-Definition Quality sound
- Recording of conversations
- International, national and local calls
- Instant switch to GPRS during calls

With WhatsApp v.4.0.0 users will not only be able to send images and audio files but will also be able to stay connected with other WhatsApp users by calling for free. Users can also record conversations and share them with anyone. The new version will continue to use the phone numbers of the users with no pins or usernames needed. No international charges are incurred when using WhatsApp Free Call and Messenger application. It therefore means that users can correspond with relatives and family around the world for as long as they want to with no prices attached. WhatsApp Free Call Download v.4.0.0 will, however, have a few drawbacks:

These drawbacks are small compared to the benefits users will be receiving with the voice call feature and should not stop users from getting this new version.
