Telecommunication companies are charging us for sending a text message from our mobile.
Also, a big bill can be expected if we talk for a long time from our landline phones. The game totally changed with the launch of WhatsApp application. Now we need not think before talking with our distant relatives or have a long video chat with friends and families or doing online communication with our clients.
WhatsApp has a huge user base across the world. From the latest statistics, an average user checks WhatsApp more than 23 times a day. Be it be videos, pictures, forwarded messages, personal chats or group discussions. These days everyone is making good use of it.
Advantages of using WhatsApp
