*roll eyes*

2nd Joe Biden you are. Unfortunately, no one is interested enough to waste data looking for you or that have never occurred to you?

Crystalom3:
go siddon abeg

Spactacle:
yes, you're right. If not for the poor internet services, most people would opt for internet calls rather than our normal call wey wan finish person.

emae009:


what I've noticed is that your phone data counter and your service provider's aren't always the same. that 5MB Airtel rate it as double or close to double. Don't know for other networks tho

Crystalom3:
not everyone have a phone

Especially in the rural areas.
Did that stop you from using one?

Oyiboman69:
and you don't have same when when making normal calls?... I believe this is an eye opener for everyone,and people will now try to bypass the regular calls even if its only our loved ones for now. this issue cannot be overemphasized....

KiNg0G:
You can't compare whatsapp call with normal phone call.

The delivery is different.
The audio clearity Is different

uuzba:

Stop all this nonsense bashing.
I was here in Lagos feeling cool with data and Google maps.
I took a trip to the East to see a relative.
Before I even finished leaving Epe, all the whole internet data and Google maps have stopped working on the phone. The phone just be like carton for my hand.
Finaly reached the east and I couldn't even load WhatsApp. All those Tick and Double Tick couldn't even load.
Is that how you expect people to adopt internet data calling facilities?

Crystalom3:
Even at triple the rate. Its still cheaper by almost 50%. That's at triple the rate!

MufasaLion:
WhatsApp call is very good! Smooth talk and affordable! Oh, it's encrypted also. There are many conversations that I dare not have on normal call because it might be recorded.

emae009:


What you're saying is true VoLTE is the way forward but there are a lot of limitations at the moment around it though.
Majority of the people with smartphones to implement this don't keep their data on when they aren't using the phone. Some go to such extent of limiting background data consumption.

Crystalom3:
this is the only limitation I see. I guess as we grow as a nation, it'll become better tho.

DJL0newolf:
What about those people that use glo? How will they cope

Crystalom3:
I think it'll be more cost efficient for everyone to switch to internet calls.

They are less expensive and for the most part more stable than regular phone calls.

Internet calls of 30 minutes cost less than N50 while video calls of the same length cost less than N100.

Regular phone calls cost twice as much. For N100 you might not think much about it but instead of spending N1k you are spending N2k and instead of N10k recharge, you are spending N20k on the average.

Internet calls not only is cheaper but will solve the problem of double recharge. Nowadays we spend more to buy data. After that, we still recharge for regular airtime to use for phone calls.

Internet calls cuts that cost by almost 90%.

I think it's better if we can adopt this as a trend and use regular phone calls for emergencies.

micflo28:
WhatsApp call was never created to replace the normal calls. Data takes much of your investment than calls. Make the research. Calls are clearer and connects even without data subscription.

DroppingLiquid:
Don't worry, when enough people start doing this, don't expect your 2gb data bundle to last for up to 2 days.

Crystalom3:
A girl once told me this and I laugh.

It's a because you want to feel valuable that a guy is spending on you. But we only spend the bonus they gave us when we recharge

The goal of a call is to talk. Not feel important

Crystalom3:
All I'm saying is if you want to make long calls or gist with your lover or family member, it will make more sense to recharge them N100 to buy data and yourself N100 data.

That N200 will give you roughly 6 hours of talk time with your partner.

For phone calls, the same N200 will only give you 30 minutes at most.

And should we talk about the cost of making international phone calls?

Crystalom3:
stop lying without proofs.

Nkem96:
What about those wey nor get smartphone? Make we use Bluetooth call dem?

geunik:

You make phone call for 10 minutes which cost the caller about 100 naira. The recipient pays nothing. When you make internet call, you use about 50mb and the recipient use about 50mb for the same time. If the cost of 50mb is 50 Naira, both the caller and the recipient will pay a total sum of 100 naira. And stop calling people liars on the internet. It does not speak well of you

cooooooks:
Umm, I highly doubt it. The great thing about WhatsApp is that it's encrypted.

I don't even think the FBI can back it.

blowjohn:
Omg I purposely don't like WhatsApp calls.
I hate that thing like mad. U will be hearing people talk after like 2 seconds each time
