Here’s How to Activate WhatsApp Voice Calling Feature
First of all, go to Google Play and update your WhatsApp to the latest version because only the user who will have the latest WhatsApp version (that contained voice calling feature) will be able to activate WhatsApp voice calling feature.
Even after you installed the latest version of WhatsApp on your Android phone from Google Play, you will not be able to access the voice calling feature because as I’ve said that it is not in your hand. In fact, you will have to wait for a voice call from any of your friends who’s already activated the voice calling feature.

Make sure that you may not be able to reach people who’re running the older versions of WhatsApp messenger.
It is surely not the most effective or appropriate way to launch a feature because even after launching the feature several users still may not be able to use it. Moreover, there is not any idea about whether the company will charge for calls in the future.
