WTF? That can't be good for whatsapp users.

And the money of course is ridiculous but Facebook is trying to become like Google/Microsoft.

So true. Facebook ruined Instagram, too, just like Microsoft brutalized Skype.

Don't really understand the appeal of WhatsApp. Unlimited texting plans are super cheap nowadays. Or just use Google Voice.

International use is the big appeal. Though it seems like carriers are making it easier to text international (think both T-Mo and Verizon have plans with unlimited international text) Aside from that, I have no clue. I guess the positive is that you can message someone and they can't have your phone number as well? Though now with facebook that probably won't be the case.
