For a €10 a year fee text messages are free, while
photo, video and voice messages are priced on a
credit system.
You can pay € 5 for 1,000 credits (or up to €50 for
10,000 credits). Text messages, location and
contact sharing are free, while multimedia
messages are priced based on zones. You can
check the WhatSim site to see which zone each
country falls into.
The cheapest rates are 5 credits for a voice
message (that’s €0.025), 20 credits for a photo
(€0.10) and 100 credits for a video (€0.50). Voice
and video messages are capped at 10 seconds
long.
Note that in some countries the yearly rate is €5
instead of €10. The WhatSim will never expire, but
you’ll need to top it up with credit when you want
to use it. You can buy the card preloaded with
credit and by the looks of it you can have it
shipped worldwide, though the official site is
available only in English and Italian.
It doesn’t seem like it provides generic mobile data
that can be used with other apps, but if you’re
traveling abroad a lot this can be a cheap way to
stay in touch. Facebook already has deals in place
with its Facebook Zero initiative but this aims to
expand its foothold in mobile messaging.
Update: It turns out this is from a company called
ZeroMobile that is not affiliated with WhatsApp. The
company has been founded by Manuel Zanella,
known from I’m Watch , one of the earliest Android-
powered smartwatches.
