Tips on using WhatsApp?

You being in the US might have been useful information. 😁

theres no difference between a mobile phone number or landline number format so you never know which type of phone you’re calling so there’s no rate difference between them.

Gosh.  I haven’t seen a mobile plan which charged for ‘minutes’ differently for calls to mobiles in years if not decades.  The provider I’m with, their base price is £6/month and includes unlimited voice and text.

it costs $15 PER DAY

I forgot…it’s $15 + tax!!! per day

I am the only one which thinks this could be problematic for some people eg those suffering from domestic abuse or bullying (not including me, I hasten to add!) Or is the answer to remove yourself from groups before processing the phone number change?

I just had my first ever unsolicited WhatsApp advert.

It was from a bike brand so I just replied STOP instead of going on a rampage.

Polls.

Yet to use it yet, but earlier this week, i had a message of “which of the following dates can people make for a bbq?”

Unsure how it has taken so long; i remember saying the world needed a quick simple app for this 20years back.

Sort of glad i was too busy with my kids at the time, as Zuckerberb, besos and musk dont seem any happier than me.
