  I was really happy when they charged me, means I knew they weren't planning on selling out or spewing ads everywhere. I definitely get more than 69p of value out of it per year > Makes sense why the app asked for my cell phone digits when I first installed, and I'm happy I never gave it... How does this have anything to do with the fee? The phone number is essentially your username. It automatically adds all the phone numbers in your address book as whatsapp contacts edit: It's also not a subscription in that it never charges you automatically, you have to pay manually every time

    > I was really happy when they charged me Wow, that is a brilliant comment I can only agree with. I disliked Whatsapp for doing this (even though it's not even sneaky, nobody knows it), but yeah you are totally right. I am usually the first one to propose "I'd rather pay than see annoying ads."
