Hello all,

Just wanted to post a special message here to let you know that Beam Messenger is once again available in Nigeria. We were briefly available in Nigeria back in November when we first started and got worldwide press. But we had to close off to the country shortly after launch, to better control growth. Now, I'm here to let you know that, if you have an Android, you can go download the app again for FREE!

See what your friends and loved ones are typing, letter by letter, when they text you in the app. And interrupt or chime in in real-time too. It pretty much allows you to mimic the flow of verbal conversations, all by text! Like some of you here were saying, it's not a scary concept at all. People easily adapt to thinking before typing, just as we think before we open our mouths to speak...most of the times anyways . And it is a pretty addictive way of texting once you try it.

Also, the app has had a number of cool new features added since November/December. For instance, now you can see if the person you are typing to is actually in the chat, reading as you type, or away from the app.

So download it and get one or more of your friends to download it too so you can actually test it (it works like any other chat app in that both parties need to download the app to chat to each other).

And if you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us!
