It includes options to allow voice and video calls from only people in your address book, people you follow, verified users, or all of them. You can then make a call by opening a direct message with another user, and choosing the phone icon in Top right corner of the screen, choose voice call or video call.

Musk recently said the feature will be available on iOS, Android, Mac and PC, “with no phone number required.”

Musk also mentioned charging all users a yearly price to access the platform, and has already started making users in New Zealand and the Philippines pay $1.
