No, no charge. You download the Whatsapp app onto your phone and you can connect with other Whatsapp users, free of charge. It's good when you want to send photos/ videos. No charge for them either.

Not directly but you can only use it when you are connected to the internet and those you are calling.

I use Whatsapp all the time when contacting my relatives, who all seem to be members. It's great. I don't know where they get the revenue from but it isn't from me. :-)

I did a 30 minute video call with my daughter on Saturday who's currently visiting New York. Me through the home internet and her through her hosts' - cost us nothing.

So how the Dickens do they get any revenue ?

It's owned by Facebook and at the moment it doesn't make money

Facebook say they would be testing tools that ‘allow you to use WhatsApp to communicate with businesses and organisations that you want to hear from.’

This meant getting messages from your bank about recent transactions via WhatsApp or getting a text about a delayed flight from your airline on WhatsApp.

With over 1 billion users actually using WhatsApp every day, the focus seems to be primarily on the user growth and making money from selling software and services.

I use wa and messenger to talk to my family and friends. Of course if i am logged into my home network it doesnt cost a penny.

Incidentally you have to register with a suitable phone before being able to use it on a Computer.

Hi! Yes you can use whatsapp from your laptop, typing this: https://web.whatsapp.com/ and you have to get connected on WhatsApp with your phone next to your laptop.
