however, other than a way to send free texts (which are really cheap anyway), I don't really see it as a day to day tool.

I use whatsapp and it is a lifeline for me as an expat.... messages with ex-China friends, groups of friends, very convenient for coordinating meet-ups, sharing news and just keeping up with friends & family. I use it to communicate with my ex-China colleagues too, esp with EU/US off hours, in place of back/forth emails.

I have wechat but the BB interface stinks so I stay logged in on the ipad instead. The 'Moments' function is nice to see what colleagues are up to in a non-work setting, also group chat.
