So in other words, you got the exact same response as if you had sent a regular SMS message; I fail to see how that is a problem. Yes, WhatsApp uses your regular phone contacts; much simpler than having to exchange usernames with everyone you want to message on WhatsApp. Is it revolutionary? No, it's a simple, cheap, cross-platform messaging app. It does what it's meant to do, and does it pretty well.

Exactly. I don't see how that shows a shortcoming on WhatsApp's part.

  It is because using a location and operator dependant phone number as the main gateway to reach someone is prone to errors and no longer necessary. Whatsapp using it just show how bad its architecture is.
