WeChat and Line

Ang dalas ng commercial ads nila, primetime pa. Where do they get their revenues? Free naman ang apps nila and wala naman akong napapasin na ads sa mga apps nila.

Bakit naman i-subsidize ng Smart or Samsung? E pwede naman sya gamitin sa Globe and other mobile phone brands.

WeChat is a Chinese company just like Huawei. Originally it's name was Weixin but rebranded in 2012 for international market. Most likely subsidized by government to penetrate market share. So they sell them very competitively or give for free until they get majority of market share. Afterwhich you can speculate what China can and will do.

I don't have wechat or line. I installed line but since I have very few contacts on line, I removed it na lang. Most are on viber and whatsapp.

They are pushing more people to use their data plans regularly. The more people using it will push others to use it as well. Eventually it will reach a tipping point many will find using "chat" softwares to communicate a requirement like SMS. This will push more people to get data plans to complement their voice plans on their mobile phones.
