WhatsApp is out of service for several hours. The instant messaging program popular Red is not able to connect to servers preventing users can send or receive messages or recover outstanding conversations.
Instant messaging is replacing SMS since proliferated 3G data connections. WhatsApp accounts for almost all the attention, but there are several alternatives that offer some advantage or different functionality. Then we recommend a few:
- LiveProfile (iOS / BlackBerry / Android): requires user registration. Create a small profile and add contacts from the address book or by using PIN (like BlackBerry Messenger).
- Voxer (iOS): requires user registration. Can chat with text or voice (as if it were a walkie talkie).
- Kik Messenger (iOS / Android / Windows Phone): much like WhatsApp, requires registration.
- Viber (iOS / Android): ideal to make calls using VoIP technology.
Almost all share the need alternatives prior registration, WhatsApp step avoided by using the phone number as the user ID.From the company's official Twitter simply report a "small problem" in their systems.
Traders delighted
The technical problem that affects all users of WhatsApp has a clear beneficiary, operators who are the winners when their customers can not send messages through the popular messaging program. In the last year, the decline in revenues text messages has been very high and it seems that the trend will continue and that smartphones are increasingly used.
