Facebook announced earlier this year that its VOIP service would be launched initially to users in North America. Now the good news is that Facebook has decided to expand their offering and is now offering the same service to Facebook users in the UK.

Facebook’s VOIP feature acts like a regular voice call, with the ability to leave voice messages in the event that your friend is offline.

In the meantime those in the UK will be able to look forward to this new service/feature.
