In Spain, SMS was also the main way of communicating with mobile phones (pre- and post-smartphone). The benefit of WhatsApp was that you didn't have to move to a different "social network" with usernames and stuff, it just used your contact list, and that it didn't cost anything besides your internet connection. So if someone had WhatsApp, you used that, otherwise you texted them through SMS. You almost end up avoiding communicating with people that don't have WhatsApp because they cost you money...
- vanessarp 13y agoIn Spain everyone uses it, from 12 to 60 years old. My mother in low just wanted a smartphone to have Whatsapp. The new trend is Telegram though...
- balladeer 13y agoReally? Telegram is a trend? In India I doubt many people even heard about it. I think I will give it a serious thought if it open sources its code base or otherwise it's as good as Viber or Line as an alternative. Same goes with helm.is.
