A little social networking website called Facebook is testing the ability to make VoIP calls and send voice messages. The VoIP calls service as of now is only available in Canada. Canadians can start a call with a friend by hitting the "i" button in the top right corner if the screen and hit "Free Call." To use the call and voice messaging ability, users will have to update the app to the latest version. Android users can download the app here whereas iOS users can do so here. 

The voice call facility is available only in Canada where as the rest of the world is receiving the voice messaging (or voice mail) capabilities.

Sending a recorded message has its own steps. To start, users need to press the “+” button next to the box where you type the message and then hold down the record button. When you are done, release the button and your message is sent. If you wish to cancel the recording, slide your finger off the button. Easier said than done right?

Voxer is one app in which voice messaging plays a big role. In Facebook’s version of this appears to be a smaller part of the larger Facebook social networking ecosystem.
