WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform instant messaging App for smartphones. It uses your phone’s Internet to make calls, send text or voice messages, documents, images, video, user location and audio media messages to other WhatsApp users (including groups of people, set up from your own contacts list) using standard cellular mobile numbers.
Provided you have an adequate data plan, it is free to send and receive messages over WhatsApp to others who also have the App installed on their phone.

Suitable for these Smartphones:
