Facebook’s Free Call Service For US iPhone Users

Posted on by Kallala

Facebook recently announced that iPhone users could enjoy free calls in the US over Wi-Fi Messenger for iPhone. This new feature facilitates people from the United States that allow them to use the Facebook Messenger app to place voice calls with friends using their internet connection or Wi-Fi.

Never miss an update from us. Join 10,000+ marketers and leaders.

The feature comes as a “Free Call” button in the existing app and the users don’t have to update to take advantage of this feature.

A lot of users quoted “Free call feature is incredibly simple and useful”. But the app also requires the receiver to have Facebook’s stand-alone app installed on their phone.

If the app couldn’t sync with the receiver, the “Free Call” icon appears grey and marked out. The call features look and feel similar to conventional voice calls.

Besides the United States, Facebook has mentioned that they have started testing VoIP functionality in Canada.

I’ve worked with the team at Andolasoft on multiple websites. They are professional, responsive, & easy to work with. I’ve had great experiences & would recommend their services to anyone.

There are a number of cloud storage services like AWS (S3, Glacier), Rackspace (Cloud Files), Google (Google Drive), Microsoft (SkyDrive) etc. But before choosing any cloud service, there are several important aspects to look at. Here are some of the major factors to consider for choosing any cloud service.

Security is one of the major factors to consider when getting into cloud storage. Select a service provider who will handle the information with discretion. Check that the service provider includes a minimum of 256-bit encryption for data protection.

      2. Block level back up:

A cloud backup solution with block level back up technology should be used. This technology splits huge files into smaller ones and facilitates users to modify them. This in turn saves time and bandwidth.

      3. Customers support:

Some of the customer support services should also be kept into consideration. Like, the user must have access to files, almost immediately when needed. User could reach the vendor through email or telephone for assistance. The service must be offered for 24/7 throughout the year. The service provider must be offering customer reviews to prove the quality of the cloud service.

      4. Restore options:

The vendor must have multiple restore options for restoration of deleted files and even restoring from original files. Restore options must include both mobile devices and web interfaces .It should have the ability to restore data to its original storage location.

      5. Speed:

The online backup service should use disk de-fragmentation technology for faster storage. A slow back up service can decrease the level of productivity largely.

      6. Cost:

The cost of a cloud storage service is another important aspect that should be checked in detail. Numerous cloud vendors who are providing similar services with varying cost. All the vendors should be compared based on their pricing, to choose the right option. It should also be checked that there are no hidden fees before proceeding to the payments.
