Can someone explain me what is this?Isn't whatsapp supposed to be free???
hmmm, maybe a troll post but I'll bite...I don't use the app, but I'm pretty sure that it's free for the first year and after that its $.99..
from the app description
"WhatsApp Messenger is a smartphone messenger available for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Phone and Nokia phones. WhatsApp uses your 3G or WiFi (when available) to message with friends and family. Switch from SMS to WhatsApp to send and receive messages, pictures, audio notes, and video messages. First year FREE! ($0.99/year after)"
Yep i agree. I am a whatsapp user and it gives service for one year only. After that it charges some fee for you to use it. That fee is this. So all you can do is pay the fee or buy a new sim. Hope i helped .

This. And 99 cents per year for the best messaging app available is ridiculously cheap.
Thanks guys,haven't read the description,much clearer now
Weird... They gave me a free extra year... Found a notification in my bar that told me the stretched it...
Mine too, They gave me a free extension for 1 year and showed me the pop up.
I only received 3 months

Hahaha they always extend it!!! don't worry about it.
I really don't get the whole fuzz about What's App... if you have 3G or Wifi... you can connect to all your friends via GTalk, Skype, etc, etc.... If you don't... then you cannot use it either...

Because those actually use more data than whatsapp, not to mention whatsapp is always on and less resource heavy than most apps.
Whatsapp is tied to your mobile number, so you don't need to re-add your friends one by one again, and get their emails/Skype IDs (sure, you can search for them using Skype, but it's not always accurate and everything being automated is easier).
Plus what the above poster said.

Found a news thread that said that Whatsapp is going to be paid. They extended it for free because there was no general method to pay the small fee. Seems like they have found it... Paid mine, just to make sure...

Why not use LINE? We are using this at the moment.
And Hike is also an awesome replacement for WhatsApp. Try it. If you are from India, you'll be getting free SMS'es as well

Sucks they don't have this program for iphones. People I wood use this program with are using iphones or phones that aren't smart phones. Would be nice if it allows you to use it with a regular phone. Seems like they could make a lot of money with this program if they could get it to work on other devices that aren't android.

You'll just have to do what I did and talk so highly of your phone that it makes them ditch their iPhones for an Android.

Hahahaha..thats funny! I do agree this is a good app..funny the app says its still on BETA but i don't see nothing wrong with it..other than it has to be installed on the phone in order for you to use it..this feature should come standard on all smart phones i think. Does bring back the Nextel Feel to it..aka "Talkie-walkie".

It is a beta. Some times I get the network unavailable. ..I have to try couple of more times then work. Also I would like to choose what person to call from a contact list in the app. If u call ur girlfriend then want to call ur friend u have to go into add number and it would erase ur girlfriend. .do same process to call girlfriend again.

Well there is a catch. To enable the lookup of mobile phones you need to share your contacts with the mr number database for others to search against. At least that's the way it was, I am unsure if it has changed

Sounds more or less like a data / number mining scheme to me, I don't think the majority of my contacts would want me to share their cell numbers with a company. Land lines (except unpublished) are pretty much a given anyway. But to share cell numbers with a company? I bet debt collectors use this route to find peoples cell numbers to harass them.

You can get it from there website , they are dealing with google pulling it from the play store. They wont tell the reason , but i installed it and not a few hours later i started getting hang up calls which ive never had before from random numbers. Its a popular app but i dont trust it.
Well that would be a problem but the app also allows u to report spam to block calls with single tap. With my phone being my business phone I like the control of blocking suspected spam without answering. Also when first time callers call and I need to save their number the name and info already there just one tap and saves me time. And time is money.

But then you have to change your number to a GV number, and doing that would be problematic for me. Am I right in thinking this?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Change what number? Your tablet isn't a phone. It links to your GMail account, and you can create a new phone number that can ring your devices on making a new account. If you mean texting people with your actual phone number then yea that might be an issue, as it shows on their phone as your GV number.
Wouldn't it use a new phone number for the texts?

no i have it on my wrist right now. i'm not impressed tho in that the software is crap it has some bad bugs that being said tho if it didnt have the bugs it would be pretty cool (the truesmart I've pre-ordered will be better tho)
I think that the bugs are coursed by them trying to mix elements from the app drawer and the home screens together. it has no homescreens or widgets but has folders were you can put 3 yes only 3 apps per folder how useless. and sometimes apps show multiple icons per app installed worst i've gotten is 3 for one app install and only uninstalling it will remove it. also after you've filled so meny pages of apps it starts not showing some of them so you have to do a device search to find/open them. and if i try install say nova or next 3d instead of the usless default launcher they would be fine but. the notification bar totaly vanishes and stops working. so until someone makes better firmware for it or maybe the omate firmware will work on it ? it has omate firmware on it now and the model number also says omate. i'd just be worried about breaking it by doing that and couldn't anyway unless someone makes a root hack for this? so atm its not as good as it could be.

I would like to see how it works as a smartwatch All these discussions about various android watches got us far away from the original concept of smartwatch, to be a remote display for your smartphone where you get your notifications upon which you decide if you want to take out your smartphone to proceed That's how it works with MetaWatch and Pebble, a simple notification smartwatch. As much as I'm looking forward to Omate and other android smartwatches, these crossed the threshold of smartphone on your wrist which is an overkill for a lot of people. So, I would really like to see how this AW-414.Go will be able to deliver notifications about incoming calls, text messages, Gmail, and POP/IMAP/Exchange emails.

I am not sure if you can use it like the pebble it errored when I tried bluetooth it to my phone with the app that seems to be the one that does that and It didnt come with any instructions/manual.
I will try again tho also is their anything else you would like to see?
I disagree in the sense that having a full android os means you can do a lot more with it and customise it however you want plus you dont have to use its built in phone/3g if you dont want to. I mostly use mine at home on wifi. The battery life is a joke on 3g and exstremely bad if you actualy actively use it with 3g/phone enabled and not just with those on in standby mode. But thats to be exspected due to the size of the batterys in these kinda devices.

Hello All,
I'm about to purchase a HTC Nexus 9 LTE Table. But I have once concern at the moment. Currently, I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite which I truly hate! But the only feature I like is the phone calls, just insert the SIM Card and call whoever you want.
Now, does the Nexus 9 supports the phone calls like the Tab 3 Lite? Can anyone confirm this? I mean, if you have already purchased or know someone who purchased the device, does it support making phone calls?
Guys, I need a reply urgently as I'm going to send the money today to someone to buy it for me .. and I don't want it to be a waste of money
