T-Mobile USA Provides Free Calls on Facebook

T-Mobile USA now provides Facebook users free VoIP calls between other uers. "Bobsled" by T-Mobile is a VoIP application integrated with Facebook that also provides voice mail service capable of pasting messages to the receiver's wall. The ability to call other people affiliated with a single network is not unusual these days.

What is a bit different is a direct move by a mobile service provider to enable such communications, which arguably compete with for-fee services. T-Mobile USA is expected to add the ability to call out to mobile and fixed networks in the near future, as well.
