HippY Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 in the end you still send several kB of data through, in a form of several letters it is lacking the real experience that the voice makes, like a skype or phonecall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Can send voice clips on whatsapp Infact it's become invaluable for revision as all of my course is in a group so we just fire voice clips in there with questions / answers. Saves typing it all out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Its the same but free. Surely that's all there is to it?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) You've been able to see when messages have been delivered/read via text since early 2000's. Putting a lot of info into a text and not much into a Whatsapp and vice versa is entirely up to you, nothing to do with the method of delivery. Texts in most cases are free these days. It is absolutely identical, how you use it may affect how you feel about it but it is literally identical other than it using the internet not mobile network. Funnily enough I only use Whatsapp because there is never mobile signal where I live, and I use it in exactly the same way I ever used text messaging... That is all Nobody has yet come up with a reasonable argument as to why it is different... "it IS different because I can fire endless bullshit at a girl I haven't met yet" is not an argument, I was doing that by text years ago edit - Same with voice clips, nothing new there either.

*gentlydoesit Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Can send voice clips on whatsapp can I do that on my phone without the app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercofray Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm with Dan. It's completely different. I prefer whatsapp. Texts take too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 can I do that on my phone without the app? hmm Imagine a tool. like a landline. and you could talk to the other person in real life. quickly and neatly. now Imagine if everyone would have this tool so you could like call the person I think it would revolutionize the industry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm with Dan. It's completely different. I prefer whatsapp. Texts take too long.so you don't type on the app then? Because if you send a spoken word why not call like hippy (sort of ) said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 You do but the messages are instant. Literally send it back and forth and if you're both online at the same time you can fire messages back do forth at each other at an incredible rate. Texting you have to send the text, even if you don't sign it with kisses it's very very very unlikely you're going to be waiting on the text screen for a reply. You're most likely press home and go and check the Internet or something. With WhatsApp you're both "on it" at the same time if you are so it's literally like Facebook chat or any other chat service. I don't see how some people simply aren't getting that. It's f**king stupidly logical haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) To be fair dan, texts don't take all that long to send/recieve*. I get that the app may be a little quicker, but that doesn't change the dynamic to being "totally differnt" *Except in my case, as I have the thumb speed of a pensioner Edited May 12, 2014 by *gentlydoesit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*gentlydoesit Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) It does though. That's the thing! duuuude, you've offered no explanation whyyy. I've never used it, so I'm not 'arguing', just trying to comprehend the differnce. as far as your description has been so far there is very little An analogy of the differnces so far would be; maglev trains are faster than steam trains.. but theyre both trains.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Surely they're both basically identical for purely texting but the difference comes when you start sending pictures, video or sound files at which point there's no comparison because text can't cope with that and MMS messages (in my experience) are slow, unreliable and expensive.

Pashley26 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Totally the same. Anybody who says otherwise is thick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Its not free, neither are texts. Those "unlimited free texts" you get are still paid for through your contract. All that time spent on your 3 or 4G are all paid for through your contract. Unless you're scrounging off your Mummy and Daddies Wifi, you're paying for that too.

Jolfa Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 So your entire explanation of difference between the two, is speed? Funnily enough that depends on your network provider and/or wifi speed, if like here there is no network and your wifi is toilet then Whatsapp is toilet (but all I have so I can't complain), it can take over an hour for my "instant" response to arrive sometimes. It is identical to texting in every way, I have sat with a text screen open before waiting for fast paced replies to arrive, so that's not different. You have still yet to come up with a sensible argument, all you've got it "I can send a full-on assault of pics to girls I want to pork with Whatsapp!" that's it... I'm willing to be talked round, but you're going to need some kind of logic behind your nonsense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
