2014-02-24
hello I'm the West oficina to at mobile
world congress 2014 in barcelona we're
taking a look at the lib on chat
services brand new feature now live on
is a chat app it also does your
voicemail but it's got something new
that it's just introduced and it's
called open chat technology and what it
lets you do is start doing a free IM
conversation with someone who's in your
phone's contacts even if they are not a
fellow live on user so with a service
like whatsapp which uses your phone's
contact the other person needs to also
be on whatsapp for you to be able to
send those three messages however using
this you simply send the message to the
phone number you want it to arrive at
and that other contact will then get
sent a link which takes them to their
phone or tablet's browser where there's
an html5 chat window and through that
they can do all the usual IM features
like messages or sending pictures you
can even send voice clips and location
data and what that means is basically
that you can talk to people who aren't
using the same service for free it's
pretty cool and i would like to see it
spread to other services like whatsapp
or maybe viber I'm the west road to see
nectar at mobile world congress 2014
