UNLIMITED SMS with WhatsApp on PC

Image
By






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!


Hard to believe?


We will help you step by step to accomplish this. When you don’t have the ability to use WhatsApp on your phone, or just want it on your computer, this is the article you are looking for.

Bluestacks (Android Emulator)








First you have to download an Android program on your personal computer.


This has to be done before you download the Whatsapp application.


We need this program to make use of Whatsapp, because this program acts like it is your mobile phone.


The program is an Android Emulator.Nowadays I use a free application called BlueStacks


BlueStacks let you run almost every Android application on your Windows
You can download This application here:


Download





Step 2 - Download WhatsApp






After you start Bluestacks and it is loaded , it's time to download Whatsapp


Download WhatsApp


It will appear among the other apps which are pre-installed.







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 !

THE FIRST TIME

By
It was one of those typical weekends and I was  the typical lonely guy, sipping away my cup of coffee, all alone. It was just me and my phone enjoying each other's company on a weekend evening. It's not that I had no friends, I had fairly good friends but they had girlfriends. Believe me; the girlfriend always scores a victory over the friend when it comes to investment of attention and company. My thoughts were meandering across the vastness of my solitude when my phone started ringing abruptly.  It was Rohan, one of the few friends who actually call me. Rohan - Hey man, wass up? I sensed an obnoxious sense of dizziness in his voice. Me - Hey bro are you drunk? Rohan - Oh my God you know me so well. You are my true friend. It’s not just me, Vikash is also drunk. Vikash was my college roommate, another one of those saintly friends who still call me. Me - Oh God! What are you guys unto at this time? If this is an invitation for a booze party, you alr...

Never Too Late To Have a Happy Childhood

By
I love the statement of Walt Disney who quoted -- "Thats the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up". By the time we begin to understand enough about the world to ask the right questions, our visit is over, and someone else is visiting, asking the same questions. The carefree attitude was lost somewhere. As a child we had a different craze for chocolates, for toys and for everything sweet but our intentions were pure and pristine. We were innocent, we wanted happiness for everybody whether it was a friend or a foe. We had priorities set to a different level. For us happiness used to come in every small package whether its a delicious snack cooked by mom or a new book gifted by dad, or the 1st time we ride a  bicycle. We used to be busy with something every time, whether its watching the rainbow or counting the stars, or making strange imaginations from the clouds. Our days were short and life was fulfilled. We never knew what is Money a...

THE GIRL WHO BLOCKED ME

By
“Hello. Before you wonder who I am and why did I invade your privacy in this ludicrous manner, I want to tell you that I understand that this is the most uncivilized and discourteous way to start a conversation with some girl you have never known. The worst I could do was to take your phone number without your permission. I mean that is genuinely the worst way to approach a girl. But you have to know I had to send this message, to make my mind guilt free, to proudly reply to my conscience that at least I made an attempt and to win myself a conversation with you. I am sure all this is irrelevant and inconsequential for you but I want to confess that I may have practiced writing this message several times through several days. I might have visited your Facebook profile a few times. And I might have rehearsed a few times on how to cope up with the failure once I don't get any reply from you. But all these hardly diminish the fact that I have utmost respect for you and t...
