According to reports on xda-dev you need version .561 in order to activate calling . If you have a newer version you should downgrade first

How do I downgrade? Do you think it will soon be available for the new version?

If they're both androids with the same number you should be able to do it through a computer or probably even email the file to the new phone...just do a backup and copy over the newest version from whatapp/databases its called something like .db.crypt and then restore on the new phone.
edit: if I remember correctly you need to put the file into the root and then install the whatsapp on the new phone, could be that's changed now.

For phones that have an internal memory / internal SD card (most Samsung phones have this), you will need to transfer the /sdcard/WhatsApp/ folder from your old phone to the same folder of your new phone. There are a couple of ways you can do this. You can use a file explorer or even transfer the backup files to your computer.

FYI: There is a spam link going around, telling you to invite ten friends to get whatsapp calling on your device. Once you invite 10 friends and try to continue, that's when the spam shows up.
