Its awesome, shocked that apple charge for it as it is free on android. When using wifi texts and mms are free.

Best app ever, saves me a fortune texting to Berlin. Trust Apple to want payment though!

Thats is a statement and a half from Jonsie. Having been on here the last few months I would take jonsie advice all day long.

Excuse my ignorance but does this app require that that both the sender and recipient have the software installed or does it convert to/from sms/mms on the fly?

Also, is there a version that will run on a Windows or Linux pc - to allow free, direct messaging between pc's and phones other than email?

Both parties need to have the app installed on their mobile but as far as I know there is nothing for PC. Another bonus is that you know when the message has been read.

Sometimes it's for free (short time only) in the iTunes store, but even this small money is ok, you'll safe tons of money after (saved me more then 2400€ in 1 1/4 year)

Viber is ok too, but Whatsapp is way better

Nope, but if I would've texted instead, it would have cost 0,19€ (0,15 GBP) per txt. The EU caped txts at 0,13€, but national rates can be different

Sorry for bumping an old thread, managed to get whatsapp last night via iTunes on my pc not through the iPhone or iPad as it wouldn't show up on the App Store on those devices
