Hey, maybe we all end up just going back to normal sms. :fencelook: Simple, no bullsh1t.

"(From the perspective of a telecom company, for which high captive messaging fees are a major source of profit, they’re a potential nightmare.)"


Take one WhatsApp conversation and for each msg you send you pay 0.80 cents and you pay more for pics and videos. See what you total comes up to, I doubt the world will ever use the sms service as means of social communication again.

Well, Telegram is showing huge growth post-whatsapp acquisition. It works in exactly the same way as Whatsapp, except it is supposed to be more secure on a personal data level.

The reason I like it a lot is because it has really great Mac/PC clients - proper multi-device compatibility with perfect syncing.
