Until recently, most phone owners used ordinary calls and SMS correspondence to communicate with friends, relatives or colleagues, recharging their account every month according to their tariff.

Today there is a decent, and most importantly – free alternative, which allows you not to spend extra money on communication.

Messenger – what is it in simple words?

Messenger is a program for instant messaging and voice communication over the Internet.

Messenger can be installed on any type of device: phone, tablet or computer, and then you just need to connect it to an Internet source, such as Wi-Fi or a network cable.

How to use the messenger?

Installing

To start using the messenger, you first need to download and install it. A list of the most popular ones can be seen in our messengers catalog, where you can select the appropriate application for your device and operating system.

Authorization

Next, you need to identify yourself in the system somehow. Often, most modern messengers use your smartphone number as a login in the system, so you will only need to confirm your login via SMS.

Using

After that, you can proceed to the full use of the program. By the way, you no longer need to search for your friends by username, last name and city – all contacts from your address book will automatically appear in your messenger contacts (if they also have this messenger installed).

Key Features

  • Instant messaging and content sharing. The program allows not only to correspond, but also to exchange other types of content, such as: pictures, audio, video, smiles, stickers, gifs – express your emotions to the full. You can also transfer files: documents, tables, presentations, etc.
  • Audio and video calls. Use messengers to make audio or video calls, all for free.
  • Group chats and conferences. The functionality of the application includes the ability to join with several contacts at once, creating a group chat or video conference, which is great for people working in a team.
  • Communities and channels. Every user of the program will have a tool to create a thematic community (group, channel), which can be used to advertise your product or just to unite like-minded people.
  • Mailing lists and notifications. Many messengers have a push-notification function which will notify you about important events, discounts, dates or news.

In today’s world of technology it is difficult not to be involved in those very technologies, because they greatly simplify and make our lives more comfortable. Moreover, to use this method of communication you only need an Internet connection.
