WhatsApp to Introduce Voice Calls

       The world's biggest messaging service WhatsApp, which Facebook has just bought for $19 billion, will addvoice calls to its product in the second quarter of this year, its chief executive Jan Koum said on Monday. With 450 million users worldwide, WhatsApp and its competitors South Korea's KakaoTalk and China's WeChat have punched a hole in telecom operators' revenue in recent years by offering a free alternative to text messaging.The news that the most powerful of them was adding voice calls to its service will likely be seen as worrying for telecom operators globally, which got about $120 billion from text messaging last year, according to market researcher Ovum.
           "We are driven by the mission that people should be able to stay in touch anywhere and affordably. Our goal is to be on every mobile phone in the world," Koum said on Monday, speaking at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
          Koum said WhatsApp's acquisition by Facebook would not alter his roadmap to develop the product to reach the next 1 billion users. No advertising will added to the service, he said.Facebook's Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg was also slated to speak at 5pm GMT.WhatsApp's Koum also sought to cast himself as apartner to telecom operators and not simply a competitor. He announced a partnership witKPN's E-Plus under which it will launch a WhatsApp branded mobile service in Germany.
