It is one of the Best Alternative one can get for Whatsapp. You can Chat with your friends who are already there in your facebook friendlist, The only problem one can face is people can’t chat with friends who are not on facebook,that doesn’t seems to be a problem because in today’s world even 10 year old child has a facebook account of his own.
5. ChatOn - ChatOn app is Created by Samsung but can be used on other platforms as well, Like whatsapp you have to verify your phone number and The Chat is On for you.
