Are Skype and Whatsapp even comparable? Whatsapp was competing with SMS (at least in developing countries) and it had a killer feature of making groups. Anyone who had a phone moved to WhatsApp overnight as they didn't wanted to pay for SMS.


Well I guess that’s the way (SMS alternative) Skype was trying to go. They clearly didn’t get any close though.
