Whatsapp use in Qatar

Red Bull
By Red Bull

Hi Everyone

I like to stay in touch with my friends and they keep telling me to download whatsapp... I am using Samsung phone and when I search for whatsapp download I get all kinds of supplementary apps / plug ins but not the Whatapp ap itself. I saw one in Arabic with a red phone on it but I am not sure it is the right one. It cost 7 aed... but I heard that whatsapp is free.

Can anyone advice if whatsapp can be used in Qatar and if so then how can I use it for free ? How to find that ap in Samsung search ?

HGL, if you r using android phone, just Gmail>Settings (top right corner)> click on your mail ID> than Disable the settings, Mean cancel the notifications etc,

but if u delete your account, u won’t be able to use play store for app download etc

wow... so many different answers... hmmm... yes.. i think i do need a gmail account... that's what it asked me .. and it would not go into the store until I create an account.

Who said my phone is not a smart phone.. it is .. so i should be able to use it.

Anyways.. will have to create a gmail account.

i am so lazy to create new email ID, so what i did is i just typed in anything, like [email protected] haha it worked! Play store will ask you to verify your account but wont slap you either if you don't.

Thanks guys... but to sign up for Play Store I need a gmail account ? Is that the only way ? I can't have a hotmail account instead ?
