Not to downplay your very valid concern, but "only"? I iMessage chat with my mainland friends every single day. Hell, use email. There are plenty of ways to communicate.
- throwaway1997 7y agoYes, there are plenty of ways to communicate with younger people. But I am talking about, for instance, my grandpa. Many people in China (including my family) aren't so "cosmopolitan" and only use WeChat
- rejschaap 7y agoI know this probably sounds ridiculous to some, but you could also use the phone to make a phone call.
- ajiang 7y agoThe overwhelming method of communication in China is WeChat, whether that is in messaging or voice call. WeChat is the absolute most important communication medium -- this is true for all age ranges. You statement doesn't sound ridiculous, just uninformed and lacking awareness of how people communicate in China.
- ta999999171 7y agoSounds like the Chinese people are uninformed. Wonder why. No different with Messenger in the US. Fools.
- franklampard 7y agoAssuming he’s not in china, it would be costly to make international calls. 12/15 hour time difference also make it difficult to find a good time to make phone calls
- ubercow13 7y agoHow do you send a picture by phone?
- ta999999171 7y ago...MMS?
- ubercow13 7y agoMMS is awful and barely works domestically, let alone internationally. As far as I can tell I can't even send MMS internationally from my phone network. Even for domestic MMS messages, they are charged at an effective rate of £1833/gigabyte.
