Thread: Whatsapp replacement

Line is my standard one, Baldrick. Works really well; always preferred it to Whatsapp - free voice and video calls.

Same here Betts. The calls on Line are very clear.

I hate Line, all the stickers and shit.

Viber for calls and messages.

I always use Skype. Works OK from here to the UK, US or Argentina.

i use Line. tried WhatsApp for the first time in months yesterday and it wants my phone number again. cant be arsed with it.

the problem with Line is it is also a commercial product owned by a korean company

I have been using Line alongside with Whatsapp for quite a while , but now I want to move away from both to something less likely to be commercialised . if Telegram gets voice and video sorted I will be happy with it

Totally agree with shite line only made for Asian and teenagers (adults asian also are teenagers).

Viber is on the way to line shite also.

A bit stupid to leave WHATSAPP when Facebook exactly know that people will leave if they change anything...

Ah yes, maybe you are dreaming to still have any privacy in 2014 ? Yes, its just a dream !

The voice clarity is the best I have experienced, by far with Line.

As for the stickers Harrold, if you don't like 'em, then don't use 'em. Simple really...

Anything else technical you need advise on?

Line is actually looking to do voice calls to outside phones

scheduled to launch this March in Japan, US, Mexico, Spain, Thailand and the Philippines.

Line is for teenage Thai girls.

Why would one want to find a replacement for Whats App?

I haven't spoken to my wife in years, we communicate via Line cartoons...

Line began as a response to disaster. Japan's devastating Tōhoku earthquake in March 2011 damaged telecommunications infrastructure nationwide, obliging employees at NHN Japan, a unit of Korea's NHN Corp, to rely on Internet-based resources to communicate. The company's engineers developed Line to facilitate this. NHN Japan released Line for public use in June 2011

because they have just been purchased by facebook and they use your telephone number as a user ID and your IMEI number as the password and have not been very proactive at patching security holes and all your messages belong NSA

Oovoo
Tango
ICQ
Fring

There's a Welsh app especially for you, Bob:

for the teenaged girls still using whatsapp for its facebook synergy

a warning

Scammers have slung together a scam designed to trick users into running malware disguised as a "desktop version" of the ultra-popular WhatsApp mobile messaging app.
Links promoted through a run of spam emails that began appearing last week actually lead to a banking Trojan rather than a PC version of the mobile-only app,

WhatsApp does not currently have a Windows or Mac client

Separately, malicious ads on Facebook are promoting a shady Android app that makes money through a premium rate SMS scam. The dodgy app poses as a means to view (snoop through) the WhatsApp conversations of a prospective mark's friends and appears to be targeted at Android users in Spain.

Facebook, now there's a whole other story......

$1m to anyone who could find me on Facebook.

Wechat is the replacement app of choice with everyone I know.
In fact everyone's been using it for ages.
Whatsapp is, like, so yesterday.

Because you can't make calls on Whatsapp.

No-one installed Whatsapp for calls. Unless they're a bit thick.

I know loads.
But that's the thing isn't it, whatever you use, all your friends have got to be using it as well.
