Question

How can I make a phone call with Facebook?

Community Answer

You will need to use the messenger app and have the person you are calling already on your friends' list. Open up the messenger app, then click on the person you want to call; this will bring up the conversation window. In the upper right corner of the conversation window, there should be an icon that looks like a telephone. If you click on this icon, you will be able to call this person.

Question

Do you call relatives to let them know you are coming? What is the reason for it?

Community Answer

Yes, call them. It's the polite thing to do, and it lets them plan the meal so that everyone has a place to sit and gets enough to eat.
