prepress Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I installed WhatsUp on my iPhone at the request of my cousin in Germany who got no smart phone. He can not use Skype, Line or all the free apps who work over internet for int. calls. I had some problems to activate WhatsUp. AIS mentioned some roaming settings. But now I can exchange pictures and text messages. Question: Is this service free - or will AIS charge me something? Can I do voice and video calls with WhatsUp?

aidenai Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I guess you mean 'WhatsApp'. Text messages and images use IP and therefor data. That can be 3G/ 4G or wifi. You cannot do voice or video calls as VOIP using WhatsApp. Recommended applications for that are LINE, Tango and Viber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will AIS charge me to send a 2MB picture if using 3G? Edited September 23, 2014 by prepress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidenai Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 If you have a 3G/ 4G data package, it will be covered by it. For example I have a True-H 4G package. Data limit on 3G/ 4G is 1.5 GB. What package do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard-BKK Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I had a similar problem, how to communicate with somebody who doesn't have a smartphone. I found that an old messenger called ICQ is the answer... It works on almost every platform (computer MS Windows, Apple OSX or Linux, all smartphones... and if your phone is less smart you probably still can use it as many phones support Java... ICQ offers the exchange of pictures and messages and you can also talk to another by audio chat, which works better than programs like Skype. I think the Java ICQ version and the web-based messenger support voice calls... Check it out...., http://www.icq.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He receives my messages and pictures. So he must have a smart phone. I will check that. He is 70. Can not convince him to use LINE ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
