Whatsapp have more users (everybody I know, already have whatsapp).
BBM is faster than whatsapp and give the posibility of send files, any file, not only pictures, videos or audio, even apk files. Its good.
Sorry for my english
I think both have their advantages. For example: the use bbm pin as user identity, but on whatsapp not, and just use the phone number.
But for BBM, their server is often down.
And it affect to message transfer speed is often slow in my opinion.
I've used them, wether BBM or Whatsapp.
And now I use Whatsapp as my messaging app.
For whatsapp, I never felt there was a delay in the transfer of messages. except if there is no mobile phone signal.
Now I'm curious. whether bbm on android os just like in they OS or not, we'll see later...
Sorry for my bad english

For one, most BB users installed and use Whatsapp
I used the "leaked" BBM for Android for a couple of hours. I prefer WhatsApp. I found Whatsapp much more speedier than BBM.
About BBM letting users send across files.... I dont think its going to happen in BBM for Android.
The only advantage I see about BBM is that you dont have to reveal your phone number to anyone to add you to their list.
The disadvantage I see is that the BBM pin is too complicated to remember
I dont like bbm because many app chat better than bbm..
I dont like whatsapp because privacy problem..
BBM vs WHATSAPP
BBM vs WhatsApp
BBM - Slow,Servers Often Down. But Private, in a sence that you dont need to give out personal info such as email addresses and cell numbers.
WhatsApp - Fast,Server Never down. Private,But need to give out personal details such as a cell phone number.
All in All it is what it is it all comes down to what the user prefers,Privacy over reliablity (Sorry for the english xD) In my personal opinion WhatsApp is Better.
Please Give tanks <3
Remember STiCKxaH Loves you <3
I think I am going to use both as in south Africa bbm is very popular

I still don't see the bbm in the play store. I uses Google voice and whatsapp but would like to give bbm a try.

bbm may be history.
WhatsApp - Lack voice/talk feature
Viber is better
I disagree bbm has many nice features like the read thing and the speed at which you can transfer pictures as well as high quality images. Recent updates is also nice. My only issue is the 6mb file size limit which I hope they can do away with.

WhatsApp ftw
i don't like bbm simply because i never own a bb and never want to own one :silly:
WhatsApp & Line
Whatsapp because more people use it and it's great.

Whatsapp is best but i'll watch out for BBM too.
at times it's so disturbing to get those messages in the notification bar, still whatsapp all the way.. BBM suits on a BB device only

Whatsapp because almost everyone has it.
Whatsapp because it is great and BBM just to tease people who bought BlackBerry phones just for BBM

I shudder to think my company is in line to acquire BlackBerry. Bbm might just become our official mobile im client. I prefer whatsapp. Maybe if they add file transfer and introduce hiding last seen timestamp on android, that'll take it to another level.

Is there an app that acts like SMS but thats free to use between 2 X10s and over data plan or WiFi ? Basically, I want SMS app that goes over data, not over network. I have Nimbuzz and Fring for IM but I need something that holds messages, e-mail is not an option.
Tnx

Use PingChat
Tnx a lot ! Looks promising. It asks for my phone number, is it completely free of charge, only data plan is used ?
Tnx
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
why not just use the google talk app if you both have x10s?
Isnt GTalk chat application ? I want something like SMS, so that message stays for long time and the person doesnt need to be online and on phone. For chat I have Nimbuzz. Is Gtalk is something different than Nimbuzz ?
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
try Hanashi, it's an app made by SE...its free in the market...you can even record your voice and send it or share a file as well.
I use it quite often with my friends.
It uses data only...no additional cost.
Tnx but that is IM, not like SMS app, I want something like free SMS app, like e-mail but simpler, I will try Pingchat today.

I wish android would make something like BBM.. That would be 'orgasmic'!!
Dont know what BBM is but Pingchat is perfect ! Its just like SMS and the message waits on server until you turn on data so it can be delivered. Great stuff, just what I need !

Hey guys, a week ago we released TrueCaller 2.0 for Android and it has been a huge success for us in the Nordic countries, however we have gotten little response from other countries. Can you guys please help us by letting us know, what works for you, which country your from and what phone you have. Also let us know what doesnt work for you.
TrueCaller 2.0 is a Caller ID application with the purpose of giving you more information about the people you communicate with, when you need it the most.
Features:
- Caller ID which displays the name/address or if not available country/statewhen making and receiving a phonecalls from numbers that are not already in your phonebook.
-Manual search for names and numbers
-Display a preview of incoming SMS
-Call filter which contains a managed list of known fraud numbers as well as a crowd-sources list of fraud numbers which our users create. Using the call filter you will be notified when you receive a call from a fraud number so that you can manage your time and calls.
-TweetCaller which lets you tweet your phonecalls onto Twitter so that you can keep people notified about your status.
-Update phonebook functionality which simply put itterates throught your phonebook contacts and update them with address information such as street/zip/city/area/country.
-Social Caller ID, by connecting TrueCaller to your Facebook and LinkedIn account you can now see your friends and colleagues latest profile picture and status information when you make and receive calls!
-TrueCaller now offers you CallerID+ giving our users the possibility to opt-in for a contact sharing database that is completely crowd-sourced and fully managed. By enabling it you will become a CallerID+ user and you will share your contacts with other TrueCaller CallerID+ users, in return you will have access to a more accurate Caller ID service with millions of more numbers!
Wow, there are a lot of nice features.
Q - How is this different/better than White Pages?

Yes, TrueCaller isnt just your average CallerID
Differences are among others that we just take a one time fee and not a subscription.
We also offer tons of other features because we see the purpose of TrueCaller being giving our users timely information about whoever they communicate with no matter if its a colleague, friend or a unkown person. Also we want to improve TrueCaller and we take our users voice very much into consideration!
Try it and tell me what you think!
Why isn't the app available on Google Play anymore?
Just go to their website. New app is there.

Thanks for your reply.
However, since it has been reported by other users that, after installing the app, TrueCaller uploads all of your contacts information to the developer's website, i have decided not to install it. Untill this feature of the app will be clearly explained i will try other apps.

ACtually there seems to be a similar app that is still available on google play. This app does the same thing as TrueCaller without the "upload your conacts to our database" feature. It is called WhosCall:
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gogolook.callgogolook2
It have been using this app for the last few days and it seems pretty good.

It seems the app is again available on the play store. Inside the description there is this note:
Important information:
Truecaller users on the Android platform downloaded from Google Play will until further notice NOT be able to contribute to the Truecaller directory, but will nevertheless experience the same level of service as if they had. In other words, Truecaller will NOT collect any information from your phone book.

It seems that they modified the behaviour of the app. I think i may give it a try now. What do you guys think?
I'am from Pakistan using i9500 Android 4.3
True Caller works like charm i downloaded it yesterday from Play Store,
but when i search some name its phone number is always private.
In true caller I cant send requests to get numbers. It always says failed. Try again.

Good afternoon all. Before I pull the trigger on the N5 purchase, I'd like to see if anyone has used it with a group chat with iPhone users?
My current ROM on my S3 supports it and I've downloaded the new hangouts app and enabled texting, but in the group chat (myself and two iPhone users) all the responses show as one users name / contact photo. I'm hoping that it's just a compatibility issue with my 4.3 ROM and hangouts.

WhatsApp does that! Wi-Fi only no carrier charges and international. $.99 a year but a free year to try it.

No guys ! not whatsapp !

try facebook messenger.
Oh yea there are a bunch of those out there man. Text free etc. Not trying to be funny but just type in text in the play store and tones of them will come up.

kik is like a free version of whatsapp with the added bonus of being anon (depending on your choice of user name)
Doesn't Hangouts work on both WiFi and mobile internet?
Hangouts is similar to I Message... If their name doesn't have a SMS then you are in a hangout. However I do have a question about hangouts. How do you attach videos? When I touch the camera the only options are take photo and attach photo. I have a hang out between my self my sister and my mother and we can't figure out how to share videos. And I'm not talking about video conferencing.

Hi,

Hi everyone! I'm working a new Android messaging app, and to test my idea, I have a few questions for which I'd love to hear what you have to say.
Do you feel that you spend too much time on your messaging apps?
Are many of your conversations productive?
Would you like it if conversations were short and to the point? If so, with what kind of people would you want this (ie your friends, family, colleagues, etc...)?
Do you love the mute notifications feature on apps like Whatsapp?
I appreciate your time - feel free to PM me or reply on this thread. Thanks!
I would love you see a messaging and email app all in one. Like the same platform as the new Inbox. Its super smooth and convenient. If you could text too it would be perfect to me

Any extension would be cool. The size is limited to whatever your service provider is set to and I dont think there's any getting around that.
Split to another message and reassemble at the other end..
