The VoIP service is just another way for the social network to become the Internet’s one-stop shop.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Facebook<\/a> users in the U.S. will now be able to make free phone calls on their iPhones<\/a>.

It’s the second big announcement this week for the social media network, which unveiled Graph Search<\/a>, its occasionally NSFW<\/a> new search feature, two days ago.<\/p>\n
