WhatsApp has been temporarily activating for a few days the possibility that users can activate calls with the application, but only on the Google Android platform. The only way to activate this service is to receive and pick up a call from a user who already has calls activated. But this new service is only available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone users at the moment do not have news about when they will be able to access the service, but it does not seem to be soon.
A couple of months ago, WhatsApp enabled the possibility of being able to use the messaging service through the website, so that we can communicate with our friends directly from the browser, but as in the case of calls, it is only available also for Android.
Although the general operation of the service is quite bad (we must have the mobile connected since it is the one in charge of transmitting the messages) it is clear that the users of iOS and Windows Phone are not a priority for the owner of Facebook, which since it bought WhatsApp seems to have abandoned iPhone users.
As the date of availability of this service is not close, iOS users can make use of other applications that have been offering VoIP calls for several years and whose operation and quality of the calls is well proven. Here we show you Nine alternatives to the WhatsApp call service for iOS.
Skype or Whatsapp
The first on the list, it cannot be other than one of the pioneers in offering this type of service that revolutionized the international phone call market. The sound quality and ease make it one of the best alternatives.
Viber
The instant messaging application that is mainly present in the Arab market, has long offered free calls between users of the application. Like the rest of the alternatives, it also has an application for a computer, which makes it one of the ideal applications to stay connected and make calls from any device.
Line
It reached the market based on a checkbook, advertising itself both on television and in the press, quickly becoming one of the alternatives to WhatsApp. In addition to offering call services between users for free, we also allows us to make calls to most countries with very cheap rates. The quality of the calls is quite good, without cuts, but depending on the type of connection we use, silences are created that seem to indicate that the communication has been cut.
Hangouts
After going through various names, Google's calling service has come to be called Hangouts. This platform for calls and video, ands compatible with all current mobile platforms which makes it one of the best alternatives and with more availability among users.
Facebook Messenger
Independent application for a few months from the main Facebook, allows us to perform calls between users who have the application installed and account on the social network biggest in the world. The quality is not the best, in the style of WhatsApp, which suggests that they must be using the same technology to perform them. My technology is one of the best, in the style of WhatsApp, which suggests that they must be using mine to carry them out.
Tango
It may be one of the least known applications in our country, but in eastern countries it is widely used. Tango also allows us to send messages, make both voice and video calls, although it is true that the quality could be better, its function is more than fulfilled, either using the Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G connection. It also has an application for iPad.
FaceTime
The native iOS service is the one with the best integration and operation on the iPhone. While it is true that from time to time it does not work as it should, the quality of both video calls and voice calls is more than acceptable. The only problem is that being a native iOS service only available on Apple devices, which limits the use only with users who have an iDevice.
Fring
One of the oldest services in messaging between devices. Fring allows us to make video and voice calls either in groups or individually whose quality is very similar to that of Skype. By hiring a price plan, we can make calls to any phone in the world, just like Viber and Line.
BBM
Once the king of instant messaging service, It has currently been relegated almost to oblivion mainly due to the time it took to open up to other platforms. The voice call service was available in the BlackBerry version, but until recently it was not offered on the existing platforms on the market.
