Indian messaging app hike launched free voice calling service before WhatsApp over 200 countries. WhatsApp's free voice calling rumored were flooded on the internet in last few days but the official launch of such a service is not announced yet. Hike done it before WhatsApp with the VoIP (Voice over internet protocol) system which enables you to call anyone of your friends who installed Hike on their phone for free with little data charges.
Hike currently has 40 million users and its major user base is India. Some days ago Hike bought Y-Combinator supported Zip Phone which allows people to call each other using Wi-Fi. Now company is providing free voice calling service over 2G, 3G and Wi-Fi across 200 countries.
According to Hike, the voice calling service is extremely data efficient "Although calling on hike is absolutely free, you'll need to pay your 2G / 3G / Wi-Fi bills. But Hike Calls are light on data usage and hence, low on your pocket too :)"
The data consumption rates are very low while voice calling see the chart provided by Hike in the below screenshot.
Enjoy free voice calling across the world and hope it will improve with the coming years. Let's now wait for WhasApp's feature like this...
