Facebook Inc., owner of the world’s most popular social network, is testing voice calls in the U.S. on its Messenger application for Apple Inc.’s iPhone as it seeks to add more mobile services.

The company said in an e-mail that it’s extending a test begun in Canada earlier this month. Callers can use the app to make phone calls to friends over data networks instead of the voice service provided by traditional phone companies.
