Let me quote you a story of one of my friends today who studies at State College in Georgia. She is brilliant. Studies occupied her most of the time until she joined a charity organization as part of her term project in final semester. Having a keen skill with computers, she was given the charge of moderating the Facebook page for the charity. There she found out how difficult it was for her, to uphold this task. Communication with donors and sponsors was a big headache as there were many of them and to talk with them via Facebook chat altogether was a way too time consuming for her.

Reluctantly, stressing herself out, she was carrying out the task but was not happy. Once, while browsing through Facebook she came across a strange kinda link at her friend’s wall, clicking which, it appeared to her that one can communicate on Facebook with FriendCaller App. Hence, she can now send text messages (SMS), could instant message her Facebook Friends straight from within Facebook, with all donors and sponsors she wanted, and can carry out her fundraising tasks easily. Viola!

The more she explored, the more she was inspired! She could use her Facebook as her personal communication centre now with her own US number. Facebook became her mobile phone and not to mention quite economical one. She could make Voice and Video calls to her Facebook friends while spending nothing.

All she needed was to just login to FriendCaller Facebook App and she was good to go. All within the same browser! No installation required. The special Call-Me link helped her other friends who wished to have a word with her; to connect, for which they were charged nothing. FriendCaller became an air of breeze to her and she felt a rush in carrying out the charity activities with much zeal and zest.

Unlike other VoIP services that falsely claim about their effective set-up, and hidden connection charges, FriendCaller has no such hidden policies and procedures. No hassle of installation.  Our course of action is plain and visible to all. If you think you’ve faced enough problems with your VoIP service, FriendCaller for Facebook is right here to embrace you!
