To share my experience:

Dont install this app unless u got 3G unlimited data plan or it will cost u a bomb! This is what happened to my fren who installed it for fun. He was wondering why he can still receive msgs even though there is no wifi around(not an unlimited data plan subscriber either) and the next thing he knows, he kena charge like crazy liao.

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...

totally agree. this is the reason why i switched to unlimited data plan

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.

yeah wei, bloody hell when i sent the 2nd msg i seriously feel like throwing away the fon! not cause have to pay extra 0.15 but due to own stupidity xD *pwned*

erm, i heard its free on blackberry liao.
but when i see my fren install that time, it says there 3 months free trial. so after that, it depends whether u wana buy it or not. they wont automatically charge u, dont worry

anyway nokia whats app will charge to user? my nokia fren whats me yesterday and he had bill shock when he saw the bill over rm100 because of data consuming or whatever.. i though whats only consume data only?
*
i mentioned that earlier in this thread, but was told off that whatsapp doesnt consume that much data.
oh well, at least we know those without data plan with whatsapp installed is having a shock on their bill.
serves as a warning

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

1 off payment meh? not yearly basis?

well its free if u ** ur iphone happy.gifv

I have some probem when I am on Wifi at home. When 3G is on, the push came thru instantly. But when I am on Wifi at home, 90% of the time the push does not go thru and I can't get the WhatsApp message.

The strange thing I noticed is that, if the push notification came thru wifi, then that whole period is working very good. When I can't get the push, then I won't get a single message notification for the whole day.

Do you guys know what is wrong with my home wifi? Is it the router setup issue or streamyx problem?

i had the same problem. i had to reinstall the app and now its fixed. try it

I downloaded Whatsapp but when ppl send message to me, it doesn't push and I have to manually go to the app each time and wait for messages. How to fix it? Tried removing and installed again. Doesn't work.

And, currently using maxis line, if I wanna change to digi sim card, will it corrupt my Whatsapp and ping account or will it just don't receive messages until I replace it with the maxis sim card back? Thanks.
*
When it doesnt push, it means ur signal is weak.

changing from maxis to digi or vice versa will not corrupt ur whatsapp, unless u change ur number eg. 012 - 016. otherwise, its fine
