There was a period of 24 hours that if someone called you while having this option you got it as well.

Oh that I know, I thought you were saying that you got it now which would mean it's it's alive again.

If it comes alive again, would you be able to give me a call so I can get it?

It's up to version 557. Is the app supposed to look any different before receiving a call?

It is dead, as confirmed on xda. That means you cannot activate it but if you already have it you can keep it and use it. Those who don't yet have it have to wait untill they reopen the activation server.

This is the link to download the latest WhatsApp version with WhatsApp calling.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/whatsapp-inc/whatsapp/whatsapp-2-11-561-android-apk-download/
It worked for me a few hrs ago, so I cannot verify if it still works. Once downloaded you will need to receive a call by someone who already has it activated.
If anyone needs a call just PM me your number and I'll call you

it's up again for limited time!!!
Want to make calls on what's app? Download this app and have someone who has it active already call you on what's app. It works I am calling people overseas. Call quality is better than viber. It's a limited time offer
