The popular WhatsApp messaging service is now available as a free download for the budget friendly Nokia Asha 501. However in order to use the app you will first have to download an OTA (over-the-air) update, which should be available for Asha 501 sometime this week.WhatsApp is extremely popular, because it is a cross-platform messaging app that uses your data or Wi-Fi connection in order to send free messages to other WhatsApp users. Yet, annual subscription to the service will cost you $0.99 after the first year, which is free. Apart from this fee, messages sent via WhatsApp are free, provided you have an adequate mobile data plan and don't exceed any data limits. WhatsApp supports not only simple text messages, but picture, video and voice ones as well. When installed, the app will integrate itself in the Nokia Asha software platform and will push notifications when a message is received.
The full, over-the-air software update with WhatsApp is ready now. The standalone WhatsApp client will also be published on the Nokia Store very soon.
WhatsApp will come pre-installed on the Nokia Asha 500, Asha 502 and Asha 503 Dual SIM when those phones start selling later this year.
