I prefer Whatsapp to regular texting. I find Whatsapp a lot easier and quicker. As well as this, many people I know don't like to text much, as it costs them a lot of money, so they like to use Whatsapp instead. I also find that Whatsapp messages get through a lot quicker than regular text messages.

Do you prefer Whatsapp or regular texting?

That's why mtn's losing money badly.
People prefer to whatsapp than send texts while some others prefer using data services which although inflated're not as expensive as making frequent calls.
I make skype and bbm video-calls which serve me way better and stress mtn's network than making voice calls. Anyway to frustrate mtn is always the preferred choice for me, I don too suffer for their hands abeg.

Exactly.

I have not used any of them so far..But I intend of using whatsapp in near future soon..
