well.... the first call I got was on 26 March.... don't know about the situation of invite phase during that time.....
Maybe people who got a call while the invites were closed are getting it now?
Anyway, there's nothing about the feature being available to everyone, yet.

I made a call last night, to a friend in neighborhood. And to my surprise, the call quality and performance is absolute sh*t. There is significant delay in transferring your voice, and stuttering makes it even worse. (Tested on WiFi)

And here i thought hangouts was worse lol.

I think the voice calling feature has been activated for all, regardless of the version. Just updated whatsapp to the latest version and now ot shows the call option.

I still don't get the hype surrounding this. It's not like the first time we're getting free calls feature on a mobile phone.
there are lots of Cellular companies Giving Free whatsapp facebook and twitter or with some mere amount weekly package
so i believe one can use it for replacement of SMS and Voice calling

Same for me. I used Telenor 3G to call my cousin in Islamabad using Nayatel, there was at least a 2 second gap between the words being transferred.
Actually its opened to all: WhatsApp Voice Calls Are Open To All In Version 2.12.19 — No Invites Needed

I don't think its PTCL problem when it comes to bad call quality. Read the comments on the interwebs. Quite a lot of people are complaining about it. Same problem on 3G/4G. (I didn't use any speaker to make the call, neither did the guy i made the call to).
The call quality is very mediocre when using 3G.
Lets hope it gets better, because it used to be good when very few people had it. Now that the entire world is using it, call quality sucks.

Thanks Markzuckerberg for opening whatsapp calling for all and getting it banned in UAE :wacko::noc:

- - - Updated - - -

Voice quality is pretty good but that 2 second delay is a deal breaker.
when it wasnt open for all there was no delay on that i also noticed the delay when this feature become public

Lol, seriously? It's banned? Damnnn! Btw, it's not working here in Pak, atm. Idk what's up with them or maybe it's Telenor but to segregate the problem I want someone from Pakistan to confirm if it's working or not [emoji53]

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
