QUOTE(triple02 @ Oct 4 2010, 02:27 PM) yup if you have your friends using Android ask them to install PingChat. similar to WhatsApp but unlike WhatsApp, PingChat uses nickname rather than phone number. Its free too!  Android has Whatsapp as well! Why not pay that few ringgit to connect with all ur friends of blackberry and iphone?

QUOTE(xsara @ Oct 7 2010, 10:57 PM) just bought whats today.. wanted to ask there are 2 tick under the sent message.. but sometimes i only saw one tick under message.. so based on rational logical thinking.. the 2 ticks means send successful from my iphone and received successful at another iphone while one tick means successful sent from my iphone? hope some1 correct me if im wrong Haha yea u're correct, 2 ticks means the person has read ur message already... Normally 1 tick means successfully sent from ur phone and received in another phone, 2 ticks only happens when the person opens their whatsapp to check the message..

QUOTE(nokia2003 @ Oct 13 2010, 07:18 PM) not sure about the iPod touch. but AFAIK whatsapp will not work on the iPad (tried it before) which makes a little sense since there is no mobile number attached to the iPad. But iPod touch doesn't have phone number attached also wor..

QUOTE(Tunes @ Oct 14 2010, 10:12 PM) is it true that whatsapps can use to connect with BBM? Yup... But the BB would need to install whatsapp as well... Currently BB for whatsapp is free to download and free for 90 days but after that you'd need to pay 1.99USD per year in order to use the service...

QUOTE(sammosinga @ Oct 28 2010, 07:37 AM) saya mahu free really? me too,iValue 1  NewbieHero said it cost a bomb! bear in mind that if u enabled ur Data without having a proper data plan, it would cost you a bomb no matter what... There're many other apps which 'eats' ur data as well.. facebook, opening games (they log in ur game centre/open feint) and many more.... lesson: never enable ur cellular data network without a data plan..... 99 cents = rm3, can't even buy me a bag of keropok in UK... Note that BB users have to pay 1.99USD per year for the service, for iPhone it's just a one-off payment of 99cent... We should be grateful lol... Anyways it used to be free for 2 times previously.. First was when it first released and 2nd time during the time I started this topic... This post has been edited by eugenechiuu: Oct 28 2010, 09:09 AM

QUOTE(othmanmohd @ Nov 2 2010, 12:54 AM) An interesting article that I found online here. For all iPhone and Blackberry users, I'm sure you are very familiar with these 2 applications. It's an application which allows users to communicate with each other in text messages for FREE. Forget about sms where you need to pay per sms, use Whatsapp and BBM (Blackberry Messenger) , you can chat all day and night for free. It's kinda like MSN messenger actually.  There's advantages and disadvantages for everything. Seriously, nothing is perfect in this world. The advantage of these two application is of course, you can send text message to your friend(s) (who also own an iPhone and/or Blackberry Phone) for free. It really helps you to save a lot, if you are like me for one, love to text people. I actually saved up a lot by using Whatsapp, because I really text a lot in a day. Now that I'm using Whatsapp, I can bug my friends even more *evil grins* AND of course to keep in touch with them at the same time. Here comes the disadvantage of it. It's not really a disadvantage if you didn't over-used it actually. For me, since I'm so used to Whatsapp now, when I received a SMS, I'll type one sentence, and STRAIGHT AWAY click the send button. Then, I'll go %#@^##. So, please be careful not to over-used and over-depend on it. OMG, no offense but the background of the blog was just........ Yea, sometimes I don't care much when sending text, but I can still control it lol...

QUOTE(outdoorxplorer @ Nov 7 2010, 05:06 PM) This App is no longer FREE huh? Haha must be m first post that confused you I think? It was only free for twice last year.. Never free this year.. But just 1 off payment ma.. Totally worthed it.. Anyways, I am pretty sure those ppl who used whatsapp without data plans have expensive bills not only due to whatsapp.. You can't control ur data flow what if u ON it.. There's push n stuffs sucking ur data in the background

Reinstall still the same. Btw i store his number straight 016xxxxxxx without country code. You have to store his number with the country code +60 since ur friend have put his own number with the country code in front...

QUOTE(deepan84 @ Nov 17 2010, 03:31 PM) kik messenger is taking the US by storm eh. pretty famous there. competitor to whatsapp.. Oh I just checked it out, but the moment it asks me to register an account, I deleted it haha.. IMO, nope this is not a threat at all.. Whatsapp doesn't require registration most importantly.. Besides that whatsapp had cross platform since almost a year ago.. It took them more than 1 year to gain this fame, any competitor would need to do much better to break into the competition.. There's a reason why Pingchat died down and lost to whatsapp also because of the ID system.. In many cases, whatsapp have become a trend to many also.. E.g. I'll whatsapp you later... Instead of I'll text you later.. Lol So rest assure whatsapp would still dominate!!

QUOTE(wengjoe @ Dec 25 2010, 11:46 PM) just a quick question. my friend plan has only 10MB data allocated each month (don't ask me why, is a carrier from HK). is 10MB enough to use whatapps for chatting purpose ? More than enough... But it's quite impossible to make sure that ur other apps won't use ur data though.... This post has been edited by eugenechiuu: Dec 27 2010, 06:13 AM

QUOTE(tangzi @ Dec 29 2010, 12:21 PM) This application not free now  based on popularity nowadays, don't think it would drop to free anytime again... but then again, 99cents is too cheap considering the benefits you could get.... can't even buy a meal with 99c...
