Calling a friend via Facebook is now possible. Jajah, a subsidiary of Telefonica Europe, released an application that allows Facebook’s 500 million users to make free calls to one another with one click. To speak to a Facebook friend, simply select a friend who you wish to call and a message is automatically sent through Facebook Chat. When your friend clicks the message, the call is connected.
Jajah Chief Executive Trevor Healy said, “Facebook calling has been the holy grail for telecommunications companies all over the world who are trying to come to terms with the rise of social networking. Simply click and call, no further downloads, no complexity with no extra charge. Anyone can now call Facebook’s 500 million users across the world for just the cost of a local call straight from their mobile phones.”
The application, named Jajah Social Call, will initially only be available on Blackberry devices. We’ll keep you updated once we receive more information.
