WhatsApp offers VoIP calls

Until now all we used WhatsApp to send short messages in the style of instant messaging or SMS. The application now allows you to make voice calls using VoIP. This new feature is really arrived discreetly, without announcement effect.

Users of the app WhatsApp Android were surprised to discover 30 March 2015, they could call their friends using the application. This innovation has occurred during an update in many European countries, including France. WhatsApp therefore falls on the ground of other well-known applications like Hangouts, Skype or Viber, with the intention of taking them some market share.

Better to have an unlimited data plan or Wi-Fi

To make calls, nothing more simple, just click on the icon "calls" shaped phone and specify which contact you want to call. If it is not available, it will receive a missed call notification.

Be careful, because even if this feature is really handy, keep in mind that all communications are in data, it will therefore avoid use with certain packages, lest explode the bills. It is recommended to have an unlimited mobile plan or Wi-Fi, if any.
