WhatsApp is one of the most popular instant messaging services worldwide, with the company recently announcing 700 million monthly active users.
To increase its user base further, WhatsApp has launched WhatSim, a WhatsApp-only SIM.
The SIM comes with a plan that will let the popular messaging app for free while travelling across about 150 countries.
Especially when travelling in India, the data connection will depend on the area and is somewhat limited as wi-fi facility might not be available and roaming charges are generally high.
The CEO of Zero Mobile who created this new SIM informed that the SIM has been designed to totally avoid the above problems.
The SIM costs 10 Euros (Rs. 714/-).
However, only messages can be exchanged through this. It is noted that additional charges will incur on sending photos, audio & video clips.
However, some concessional measure has been introduced. In India, if you collect 150 credits, you can send photos free. If you collect 600 credits, you can send video clips free. If you get 30 credits, you can send voice messages free.
If you recharge for a minimum of 5 Euros or have 1000 credits, you may send 50 photos or 10 video-clips free.
Presently, WhatSIM can be purchased only from WhatsApp website.
However, arrangements are being made to buy it in 100 countries.
