Now you'll be able to send all the texts your friends can handle, and you'll be able to do it for free, so long as you're connected to the internet. Receiving messages in WhatsApp is the same as receiving regular texts. Just don't forget that if you're using WhatsApp without a Wi-Fi connection, you could be racking up data charges.
