Yeah me and a overseas friend used Whatsapp all the time, until it randomly said that my friend had to pay and subscribe to continue using its services, because he was on Android. I was on iPhone and didn't get such a notification, so we said fuck that and swapped to Line. Which is a shame 'cus Whatsapp was real useful.

Literally everybody has WhatsApp around here.
19 billion dollers to buy a service I have never heard of. How old am I? Although by the looks of it, it's just a text messaging system through the internet? Like those we've always used and I thought by now had been replaced by simply sending messages to people through Facebook, Skype and Snapchat which is basically the same thing?

[editline]20th February 2014[/editline] You have to be real cheap to switch to something else for that price TBH. Considering the unlimited multimedia sharing and stuff. On my plan, sending 3 picture messages by MMS would cost me more than a year of whatsapp
Line is completely free though, and still has all the sharing features Whatsapp had, and moreso
