Whatsapp is hugely popular in India where phone contracts are not popular and most people use pay-as-you-go prepaid mobile services. Very few, if any, of them come with unlimited messages. Unlimited messages are a US-only thing I guess.
- k-mcgrady 12y agoI'm in the UK. That doesn't change my point though. Despite the unlimited text messages in UK/US people still use Whatsapp.
- jhasse 12y agoWhatsApp has lots of features which SMS don't.
- daledavies 12y agoMy 2 cents... Group text via SMS is a PITA. The main reason why I use WhatsApp for certain messaging tasks. Having Wifi but no phone signal - WhatsApp gets used again. WhatsApp also lets you see when a message has been received and also when it has been read. Spooky, but useful.
