A friend of mine told me about the WhatsApp app at least
a year ago, but I dismissed it as I didn’t think I needed it. Using my text app
on my iPhone worked perfectly fine, so I wasn’t too interested.
Then, about 4 months ago my cell phone provider sent me a
letter stating that texting to phone numbers outside of Canada would no longer
be free. A 15 cent charge would now be instituted per international
text. WTF!!!
Not that it’s an exorbitant amount, but when you are used
to a service that is free –any charge, nominal or not, is cause for an
uprising!
But instead of fighting the new charges or leaving my cell
phone company, I decided to download the app- WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is a free app that allows you to send local or
international texts to anyone you want, wherever they happen to be in the
world. Yes, there are NO international
charges!
You can text anyone on your contact list (the app imports
your contacts) – just keep in mind that the recipient must have the app as
well.
This is now my go-to app to keep up with family and
friends not residing in Canada. #ghettofab
Do you have this app? What do you think about it?
