WhatsApp is a free application available for download. When you download the application on your smartphone, you can use WhatsApp for the whole year. After the completion of the first year, you need to pay $0.99 per year to continue using the application. People using WhatsApp begin to show the signs of confusion as they get close to the end of the first year. The reason is that the majority of users remain reluctant to pay through online methods. They think that it is not safe to pay via online accounts.
WhatsApp came up with a solution that a person can pay on the behalf of his or her friend. But not much of us could find generous friends. This is a situation which needs to be addressed quickly. WhatsApp becomes the most favorite application right after you start using it. It seems to be hard to communicate without WhatsApp after using the service for the whole year. There are some solutions to this problem.
Facebook Messenger
Most of the users also have their Facebook accounts. It is not difficult to find someone with Facebook profile. Facebook also provides messenger application for mobile phones. You can use it on both, iOS and Android operating systems. Using Facebook Messenger seems to be a better idea to substitute WhatsApp. Facebook Messenger is a free application and like WhatsApp, you just need an internet connection.
Most of the friends are likely to be on Facebook so there is no issue of their unavailability. Facebook is not only a social media platform, but it has also become a worldwide phenomenon.
Viber
Viber is another popular messaging application. It also sues your mobile number for the identification. Along with other smartphone operating systems, Viber is also available on Beda and Windows operating systems. This application is best for the users of Nokia Lumia (Microsoft Lumia from December onwards) or HTC Windows phones.
Ch@On
This is a popular application which is more familiar to the users of Samsung smartphones. This is a free application offered by Samsung. This application is also supported by Blackberry, Android, Windows Phone and iOS.
Line
In order to use this application, you need to get your number registered in the App’s database. It allows you to reply to the instant messages, using your PC or Mac. You need to register this application through the email verification. You need a fast and reliable Internet connection in order to use this application.
LiveProfile
This application also uses your email in order to get your number registered on its database. It also secures your information by using a pin code. This application does not allow to make a video call.
LiveProfile
This application uses your email address to register the phone number so that you can download it. You are then authorized to add phone numbers of other LiveProfile users so that they can view you. On the other hand it allows you to communicate through messaging and group chat.
I cannot say that these applications are a true substitute to WhatsApp because people who are used to WhatsApp may find it hard to shift to any other platform. But at least, these applications fulfill your primary purpose of communication.
