Five alternatives to WhatsApp voice calls

Whatsapp

In these last days WhatsApp is on everyone's lips, mainly due to the arrival of what are known as voice calls that are already available for all users of this instant messaging service on Android and that could soon reach other mobile operating systems such as iOS or Windows Phone. Voice calls are nothing new on the market, since there were already several applications that offered them, but with the arrival of WhatsApp they have come to the fore today.

In this article we are not going to tell you how to activate voice calls in WhatsApp, or how it works, but rather We are going to offer you interesting alternatives, and that sometimes work much better and without offering us so many problems as at the moment it is happening in the most used instant messaging service in the world, and that we remember is owned by Facebook.

Most of the applications that we are going to offer you are totally free and are available for most mobile operating systems, although unfortunately they do not have the same popularity as WhatsApp. The main consequence of this is that some contacts may not use this service. The great advantage of WhatsApp is undoubtedly the large number of users who use the application daily.

Facebook Messenger

Facebook Messenger

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, which has already had an application for more than 2 years that offers users the possibility of making use of voice calls or VoIP calls. This app is Facebook Messenger, which is a totally independent application to the instant messaging application, and that will allow us to talk to any contact we have on our friends list of the most popular social network on the planet.

Facebook Messenger is available for the major mobile operating systems completely free of charge.

Skype or Whatsapp

Skype or Whatsapp

Skype is one of the messaging services that have allowed voice calls for the longest time. It is backed by Microsoft and can be used in a very simple way, not only from any mobile device or tablet, but also from any computer, which is a great advantage over other services.

Besides, the sound quality and facilities when making calls They make it one of the best alternatives to WhatsApp voice calls, which no matter how hard we try, still doesn't work too well and they are far from offering a service similar to that offered by Skype today.

Viber

Viber

We could say that this service was pioneer in offering free voice calls. Unlike WhatsApp, it began offering voice calls, while the Facebook-owned service did so with messages. Viber's popularity was great when no other service offered calls, but in recent times it has become one more alternative, although the possibility of using it on several platforms and the quality of its calls continue to place it as a certainly interesting service.

Line

Line

Line is the great rival of WhatsApp worldwide, and despite the fact that it already offered voice calls of a very important quality for many months, in addition to many other things, it has never managed to surpass the instant messaging service owned by Facebook.

If the voice calls that WhatsApp offers do not convince you, Line should be an important alternative and it is that it will offer you the possibility of making calls and sending messages, but also many other things since we could say that we are almost facing a social network, rather than an instant messaging service, which is also very powerful and interesting.

Google Hangouts

Hangouts

It was difficult to leave out of this list the Google service baptized as Hangouts and that is This service allows us not only to make voice calls but also video calls, which is highly valued by many customers.. Like most of the search giant's services, it is completely free and to use it we only need to have a Google account.

As if all this seems not enough, we can also tell you that it can be used on mobile devices or through the web browser of any computer or device and that it can also become your default SMS application on smartphones.

These are just five applications that can be an interesting alternative to WhatsApp, although there are many more on the market that can help you avoid having to once again make yourself available to the powerful WhatsApp.
