You mean the WA-traffic made a significant difference? But how? It's still mostly just text, no?
Here data is expensive, but a messenger wouldn't make a difference (unless you'd exchange a lot of large files) so that any provider would gain a benefit over the competition. Including TV or netflix or tidal hifi, that'd would. Weird...
No, I don't mean that. Whatsapp traffic (files i don't think is included in the deal) is treated by the companies independently of other data traffic. You may not have a data plan, but still get a "whatsapp free" thingy, you can text for free via whatsapp without using data plans.
Ahhh i see. So no data at all but still free WA. That does make sense. And is pretty mean ๐
