Where is Facebook going to launch a free phone call?

Can social networks become carriers?

Facebook has recently launched a series of new features that enable iPhone users to talk for free. Users of the iPhone's messenger application can transmit information to each other a long time ago. After a successful test in Canada, Facebook provided the same functionality to American users. Users can call through Wi-Fi or cellular data. The first message to be reported appears to be
Verge website.

 

This move has pushed Facebook into the IP Phone field. Think that Facebook has 1 billion million users, and the number of Skype users is completely incomparable, But Facebook is still working with Skype in the video phone business. Does Facebook make a war against Skype in this move? Will it further affect its long-term alliance with Microsoft? (Skype belongs to Microsoft)

 

CNET reports further pointed out that Facebook "poses a real potential threat to operators ." According to my recent personal test on phone calls, I must admit that CNET is not virtual. Recently I have been wondering if I still need a voice call package, because many of my recent communications were sent via text messages, emails, and Facebook. CNET also regards Facebook as a way to attract young people because their voice packages are usually limited or shared.

 

Forbes regards Facebook's move as a program to generate money in the mobile field, which has always been at the root of investors' concerns. As long as Facebook allows users to use their own applications with pleasure, it can add advertisements on mobile terminals, allowing users to stay away from their competitors.

 

In the end, this may be what Facebook was best at: mining marketing data. If Facebook knows who you are calling, it knows who you are most important. In fact, Facebook has already started to do such a thing. It allows you to separate close friends from general friends, however, this will not replace a simple and straightforward call record that shows who you actually call. The TechCrunch website stressed a few years ago that "that may be the most critical data ".

 

There may be no such plots at all, but it may be the next reasonable step for Facebook to fulfill its public mission-to bring the world closer together. However, it may be interesting if we no longer regard Facebook as a website, an application, or a digital forum, but an all-in-one store that can satisfy all communication needs. It is also interesting to see what Facebook has done in an industry that is said to have $150 billion million.
