Facebook Hello will show you who is calling, even if you do not have that number saved on your handset, it will also show details from Facebook that people have shared with you. You will also be able to search for people and businesses, make a reservation at a restaurant or get directions. In addition, Hello is linked with Facebook Messenger allows you to text a person or make free voice call over Wi-Fi (VoIP).
