First
off the bat, click the Frequently
Asked Questions on WhatsApp Calling
for more details. If you want to get the scoop, the continue reading below.
This
latest announcement comes after WhatsApp
announced on they've achieved 800 million Monthly active users on their Mobile
Social Media platform as reported in the article “WhatsApp
touts 800M monthly active users”, published April 18, 2015 by Nate Ralph, CNET News.
WhatsApp Calling had originally launched
as an invitation only Test of the Calling Feature in February 2015 as reported
in my blog
article entitled “WhatsApp
Testing Free Voice Calling - Why Free Local, International Calling over 4G LTE
may soon be Possible”.
They
later followed up with a WhatsApp 2.12.19 APK (Android Application Package) on
Tuesday March 31st 2015 that gave the privilege to only those technically adept
enough to download and install WhatsApp
using an APK package as noted in my blog article entitled
“@WhatsApp
Voice Calling on @google @Android smartphones – Why only WhatsApp 2.12.19 APK
as Mobile Calling coming”.
So
now finally, the full featured WhatsApp
Calling service is available in WhatsApp
Version 2.12.1 on both Google
Play Store and in the Apple iTunes
Store.
WhatsApp Calling now on
Apple iPhones – Wi-Fi Calling by Proxy coming to Jamaica
Google
Android and Apple iPhone users now have full access to the WhatsApp Calling feature, which is no
different from making calling on your mobile phone using credit. No more pesky
Voice notes; you can now enjoy a full conversation instead of leaving Voice
notes and waiting on your friend to pick up can send you a Voice note telling
you they got the message.
The
only limitation is that you can only makes call to other Smartphone with WhatsApp installed and not to Local and International
Landline and Mobile numbers. At least not yet, as I suspect that may be in the
pipeline.
With
this latest update, WhatsApp
Version 2.12.1, Jamaican can basically ditch adding Prepaid Voucher Credit
as described in my Geezam blog article
entitled “The
Prepaid Cycle and How Prepaid Credit gives your SIM Card access to the Prepaid
Network”.
In
fact, it'll basically change the way EVERYBODY uses their smartphone as
predicted in the article “FACEBOOK’S
WHATSAPP WILL BE HOW THE WORLD MAKES PHONE CALLS”, published 04.22.15 by
CADE METZ , Wired. Basically with WhatsApp Calling, you can just buy an
unlocked smartphone with a Data Plan or even ditch having a Data Plan and use
free Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi at Home, effectively making Wi-Fi Calls.
So
what’s so special about WhatsApp
Version 2.12.1 that makes it worth updating? Aside from the Voice Calling,
the new update comes Jam-packed with some new features.
