WhatsApp Messenger is a cross-platform mobile messaging app which allows you to exchange messages without having to pay for SMS. WhatsApp Messenger is available for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia and yes, those phones can all message each other! Because WhatsApp Messenger uses the same internet data plan that you use for email and web browsing, there is no cost to message and stay in touch with your friends.
Yes! That's what the Home page of WhatsApp says about it & yes it supports iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Windows Phone and Nokia, but we say it supports your Windows PC too!

Step 3 - Setup WhatsApp on your PC
After the Whatsapp application is installed and you run it, it will asks for your personal details.
You have to fill it in and keep your phone in the near area. The number you fill in has to be correct.
You even can use your home phone instead of a mobile phone.
First you will get a text message from Whatsapp with a 3 digit number.
The install screen of Whatsapp will ask you to click on “Call me”.
When you click on “Call me”, an automatic call is made to your phone number.
A voice will tell you the same 3 digit number as the number they send you by text message. Fill in this number.
Last step is to fill in your name or nickname. Verification is complete and you are ready to use Whatsapp !
Step 4 - Add Contacts to WhatsApp
To use WhatsApp go back to your home screen of BlueStacks
Just open your WhatsApp application and click on the black menu button on the bottom left.
When you click on it you see contacts in the list. Click on it and add contacts.
After adding contacts, you can just click on your contacts to chat with them via WhatsApp.
Limitations
1. You should have an Internet connection
2. SMS can be sent between WhatsApp users i.e both the sender and recipient should have Whats App installed either on their phone or PC (through BlueStacks)
So now You have another reason to ditch your costly and insufficient SMS pack.
So start messaging your loved ones and friends with WhatsApp... now on your PC !
