I dabbled with Whatsapp some years ago but ditched it as I don't tend to leave mobile data on and I don't send and receive the volume of messages to warrant it.
Now I am trying to sort out a social occasion and a lady has given me her number and said 'it's a whatsapp number'
The number given is what I recognise as a UK mobile number and I've texted it but I'm wondering if she'll get the message and be able to reply.
A Google says no but just thought I'd ask here, do I really have to install and enrol in Whatsapp and end up giving Facebook my phone number?
Solved! Go to Solution.

You can edit WhatsApp privacy settings, if that helps, @Anonymous.
Better than Skype, not restricted to iphones (Facetime?) and easier than Google's IM/Chat/Hangouts or their new messaging app...
Good luck!

Yeah, didn't think so as when I dabbled I had to verify my number.
Curiosity got the better of me and I installed it and verified my number and then I saw my boss online and remembered she is a very avid user.
I have to use Skype for business at work but there's no way am I going to let my boss be able to IM me when I'm off the clock.
The lady I'm trying to get hold of wasn't showing as online so it got uninstalled...... pronto.
I've sent the text so she will reply in her own time, or not.

She will definitely get the text at some stage unless she has no signal in which case the network (O2) will stop trying to deliver it after 7 days and the text will expire.
