Users can avail this voice call feature by the invite system, In which one user when makes Whatsapp voice call to another user then another user can start using Voice call feature. Earlier Pradnesh07 told that users who have nexus 5 with lollipop version can only use this feature right now, but later on he confirmed that it’s available on Android kitkat 4.4 or above, other OS, other ROMs and in other Countries too. Also, this guy made a video on quick overview of Whatsapp Voice Call feature.

Another Reddit  user Tropiux gave a method to enable voice calling feature on Whatsapp without having an invite. Make sure you have Android Version 4.4 (Kitkat) or above.

        Call quality on WhatsApp is not good even at 3G. Its good for messaging and group chatting but for voice call Viber is best.

      No Viber is better than whatsaap, even Skype is better than it. I like to use whatsaap only for chatting and sharing pics or videos.
