    No it is not. WhatsApp still has to make an update to make it available for windows phone and we do not know when or if that is going to happen.

    Is such a feature even possible in WP 8.1? Skype and Viber are the only two apps I know of that can do calls, and Viber calls don't even work outside the app! Maybe some developer here can confirm whether this feature is available for third party apps.

    Been wondering the same, cause even the calling through FB messenger is still pending for WP & when I asked Hike devs about it, they said working on it, but due to OS limitations might take a while.

    Yes this is possible. WeChat has voice and video chat and it works flawless.

    Viber works outside the app and you can recieve incoming calls and messages without keeping the app open! Maybe your background tasks are being cut off by battery saver so viber wont work under those circumstances! Aa viber has implemented it...hike..and wechat and finally WhatsApp will also implement it.....its coming very soon I think!
