Facebook Launches Free Video Calling Service

The gloves are off, as Facebook has set its sights firmly on Skype and Google Hangouts with the launch of free video calling for Facebook Messenger.

Messenger already offers people the ability to make voice calls to friends and loved ones around the world. The video calling works over LTE and WiFi, and is available now on iOS and Android.

“Today, we’re introducing video calling in Messenger. Now you can have face-to-face conversations with your friends and the people you care about, via Messenger,” Facebook said in a blog post on Monday.

There’s no word yet as to whether the feature will be coming to Facebook’s BlackBerry and Windows Phone apps.
