- WhatsApp delays the voice call service until early next year 2015.
- Not being able to access all the devices and microphones slow some phone networks in some countries, you have been what made them make this decision.
We'll have to wait until next year to use the 2015 service called WhatsApp
The service takes calls WhatsApp announced a few days after Facebook shut purchasing the ultimate messaging application.
But we have not heard from the service integration of voice calls, VoIP in WhatsApp. Apparently the company has proposed the launch of this new service in early 2015.
The service call is delayed by a number of circumstances
The VoIP service WhatsApp still have to wait a while. It has been delayed because they have found some difficulties when implementing the service in the application.
The first is because WhatsApp lack access to the microphones of some mobile, making it difficult to use the noise cancellation on calls.
Another reason, apparently, is because in some emerging markets where WhatsApp is used, still use EDGE data networks, which are quite slow and lack the performance required to service a good voice over IP.
Another reason, though it has not been reviewed by the company, may be because they are not spending their WhatsApp best economic times and lost 150 million dollars last year . A high enough to be a small company, quotes data. Facebook bought the company to get their technology and the large number of users that this has, but is letting WhatsApp work freely and independently.
WhatsApp need benefits
The service for voice calls over IP would be a great move for the company, since other applications like LINE longer offer this service. Although registered WhatsApp has more than LINE, more than 600 million users.
After buying WhatsApp by Facebook, about $ 22 billion, the company's messaging app has just received $ 10 million profit in 2013. A little benefit, for what should bill the most commonly used messaging application. And that WhatsApp only get the benefit of downloading the application itself, in some countries and the annual subscription service, which many users are enjoying free.

It is possible to include advertising in the application for the benefit of the more than 600 million registered users, but WhatsApp does not have profit in mind the application , according to the company's own CEO, Jan Koum.
"We do not believe that advertising is a way to monetize a product like WhatsApp. This could damage the user experience, based on real-time communication. "Said Jan Koum, CEO of WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is not going the best economic times, but if they can solve the problems they are having with VoIP calls, as we have known by FierceWireless , they might consider other ways to make money, for sure there will be people who are attracted to this new possibility. In addition WhatsApp does not arise compete with the Messenger service that Facebook provides, as this, in the words of Koum, relies on Facebook and is run on computers.
