Guys!
I've discovered this iPhone app called "whatsapp"
It enables you to send text messages to anyone who has this app on their iPhone/Blackberry over the web/3G... This, anywhere in the world!!!
Since then I am stalking my mates in UK & France like there's no tomorrow... It's so cool we've catch up on so much gossip n can now text each others like crazy!!!
LOOOOOOOOVING IT!!!!

Couldn't you just use Skype, or Fring, or MSN messenger?

Or does that horrible phone stop you using apps like that?

yeah horrible .

I'd call its unnecessary technology.

I wouldn't spend/waste my time/money txting someone overseas like crazy. occasional phone call or email - thats all I need. personally I dislike chatting on messenger or anything similar. don't know why but I don't enjoy unnecessary txting unlike many others. well maybe its to do with ? - I was seriously fed up with kiwi boys txting me tOO MUCH through the day and night in the last few years. gosh I felt like He's A Stalker f**K ended up dumping him anyway, I occasionally felt wish we didn't have such kind of technology - because, when someone (who loves you dearly) txting you (something unnecessary - like he was so drunk...), don't want to be bothered but don't want to be rude, right? its just so annoying.

I wouldn't text each others like crazy unless he IS my boyfriend.

Making an Overseas Phone Call is cheap these days - phone call is better than txting if you need a proper conversation.

Do something productive.

Because texting doesn't express emotions and is cold and impersonal

maybe texts and technology are not for everyone (she said, as she typed onto a website!)


But i am personally VERY grateful for this information ! I will be coming over to NZ in 24 days (ooo eck !) and will be downloading this app in the next ten minutes - it will be a great comfort to know i can text my grown up kids for free. I won't have my own phone or internet for a while and I am sure it will be a godsend.

THANKS !!
