TOP 4 SOCIAL CHATTING APPLICATIONS

Free call, free SMS/Text messages, free video call and video chat --  Unlimited voice calls and video calls with emoticons and games. Who on earth doesn't what to have that kind of service right?

Lately, after the "WeChat" advertisement showed on TV commercial, a lot of social chatting applications showing off on tv screens. There is Line, Viber, KakaoTalk and What'sApp. Question is, who is who and why are they better than the other.

Let me help you finding what is best and suitable accordingly. Sure a lot of Korean stars doing commercials of different Chatting applications and since our idol use it, we will start using it too. But, don't get too excited because you might find yourself chatting and talking to yourself because you don't have friends in contact with the apps you downloaded. Lonely, right?

NOTE:  I tested the applications below in Samsung Android devices only. 

KAKAOTALK is like the Yahoo Messenger mobile version of Koreans. The Developers are from South Korea and is getting globally competitive by its functions/ a Korean boy group called BigBang making its way to introduce the product across Asian countries.

 

So if you are into Korean pop music culture or fell inlove by its culture, you may want to try this messenger along with your korean friends. Try LINE. Although, for me, this is more of a "Entertainment" chatting application than personal chatting, and LINE is not sociable in my taste. Not even user friendly but this app is focused on IDOLS and Entertainment.

VIBER the most comprehensive, user friendly, simple and has the most users next to Skype. Many people are using this now, whether it is for personal or business, because i believe this is the MINI VERSION of SKYPE :) Viber has become available on all devices including desktop version for various users all around the world.

Unfortunately, this application is BLOCKED in Middle East region.

It is now available for desktop users, Windows and Mac

WeChat if Viber is corporately designed, WeChat is, in my opinion and experience, is made for couple and family and friends. It is more of a personal communication rather than just chatting. It is the first chatting application endorsed in a commercial here in Philippines. I think, among the applications, this one suits better for an intimate approach and a user friendly. In order to use the Video call, you have to install WeChat Voice.

Chatting via web browser is now available for people who does not have mobile app.
