Whatsapp voice calling now live
Good to see that at least on Android, Whatsapp now has voice calling active.
voice quality seems pretty good as well, from my limited usage so far. |

Not sure......been using whatsapp for ages with message and picture...so most of my contacts are on there.
Voice quality is quite good, but I have a decent internet speed... With a slower connection I'm not so sure |

I have the latest version but no calling feature? So someone needs to call me in order to get it activated?

Just the fact that everyone seems to be on whatsapp makes it better IMO, but it also has the edge for voice quality as well.
If you don't find anyone, pm your number and I'll call you after work.

Remember peeps, in order to get the feature activated you have to also answer the incoming call too

Says calls are through your carrier and not over Internet. Not sure the point in that?

Seems a strange way of rolling it out. How are they deciding who has the feature activated and who has to receive a call from someone who already has it activated

As mine said the same before I updated it. Now it works with all my contacts that have an Android phone and on the most upto date version of Whats App. |

If you have an android device & the latest version of Whats App installed you will need to be phoned by someone that has already got voice calling enabled. Your Whats App will then 'unlock' the voice calling feature and you can then start calling your Whats App contacts (that are on Android etc) via the voice calling feature. |

Do you have version 2.12.5 installed? Has someone called you in Whatsapp to activate? If you answer yes to all, then you do. If you answer no to any of them, then you don't. |
