CNET How To - Make a free call using your iPhone and the Facebook app
2013-03-01
you can now place a free phone call
using the Facebook for iOS app from your
iPhone using Wi-Fi or your data
connection from your cellular provider
I'm Jason Cipriani a scene at how-to
contributor and this is how the feature
works so after you've updated the app
what you'll need to do is launch it view
your messenger contact list select a
contact tap on the I in the upper
right-hand corner and then tap on free
call you can then place the call as long
as you have a connection and if you want
to continue to browse within Facebook
you can tap on the red bar to return
back to the conversation you have a
speakerphone and miu option as well now
when you receive a call it's not as
obvious as a normal phone call on your
iPhone you actually just get a push
alert and once you slide it over you can
answer or in the call now you'll need to
make sure the person you're calling is
using an iPhone with the updated
Facebook or the messenger app that
rolled out this feature a while back
this is a really simple feature to use
it's one that doesn't use your minutes
and you're able to use it from anywhere
as long as you have a connection
