How? I've never heard this. Whatsapp is on your phone like texts.

Most plans have lots of texts but we needed international, which is an additional fee per month. Cut some off the phone bill and still can text because of it.

Unless you meant they start using it with people other than you...

Yes. Data is still way too expensive in Mexico:

$1USD = 8mb ($2 MXN = 1 mb)

In context: Daily wage is $4 USD
