We’ve been receiving a lot of reports of users having their Whatsapp service being extended for free. In some cases, users have gotten a free year while some lucky few have received free lifetime extension in their license terms.
We have been unable to find a correlation between who is getting the upgrades. It is possible Whatsapp is rolling out free upgrades in phases and everyone might get a free upgrade, but we just not sure about this.
WhatsApp, a messaging and voice service, which has now overtaken conventional SMS traffic for all global telecom operators combined, is unique in the sense that it doesn’t rely on ads. Instead it offers an in-app purchase for continued use. The pricing model is as follows:
- 1 year – PKR 105
- 3 year – PKR 280
- 5 year – PKR 389
We will update the article as soon as we receive more information about the matter. In the meantime, did you receive free Whatsapp service? Let us know in the comments below!
Yes its fact. i got one year extension on this year may
This is common in developing countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. Whatsapp Automatically extends it’s services for the users of such countries. I am using Whatsapp for the years on my Two Mobiles and it’s Extends automatically every year, whereas people living in developed countries have to pay the yearly fee.
So this is not a special news. you need to make a research before publishing this kind of posts.
it is not like this i am living in Saudi Arabia and here i am getting free service.
agreed. i am also in saudi arabia and i got free extension too
…and yes, Saudi Arabia is NOT a developed country.
yes, you are right, saudi Arabia is not under developed countries.
Under Developed Country????? Dear You Ever Read about Saudi Arabia Economy……. Ok fine what about UAE there also Free… :)
Its free all over the world … except 40% of US / Canada…
They r trying to streamline the procedure… Mark Zinger-Burger is there so he will definitely rip off ur pockets in coming years.
Economy has nothing to do with “developed” country…
You r living in under-developed desert and money in Saudi’s pocket has no concern with ur life. They treat you as slave and u r happy that u r living with a rich owner after losing ur freedom? Pathetic.
LIFE TIME accounts for only iPhone users. I have lifetime account.
I am an android User and I have it too, for live time. :)
Just checked.
ever you been on iphone?
yes. used iPhone 4S for more than a year. Why ?
i heard on iphone its lifetime.. so maybe thats why you get for lifetime free
iphone was free to use but they had to buy the app, that changed few months back and app is free now.
iv’e been using it for 3 years now and it always extends its free service, i don’t know anyone who has actually paid for whatsapp.
Yes I got free extension for one year in July 2015
I always had life time free service for Whatsapp :)
whatsapp is stupid….what a waste of time….its so depressing to see how people nowadays stick 24×7 to their cell phones
I was at a Hill Station in Shimla and it was cloudy and the scenary was beautiful….but I saw that instead of enjoying the weather and place…people were into their cell phones texting and surfing
This is very depressing!
I wanted to VOTE UP your comment but it asked me to log in my facebook or disqus account and i don’t have them so I am liking your comment here, verbally. I have the same feelings.
lol ok thanks
I have got one year extension, Hurray!
Yes, it’s true, I also got one year free extension.
I got one month generous extension.
Sorry it was 1 year not month
its hilarious how outdated you guys are, and than you go write as its a breaking news…
i went free for life 2 years ago
my brother gets free 6 months or so every time its get near expiry for last 2 years
my wife gets extended every couple months, she never got more than 3 month, yet this is happening for more than 2 years
Give me your wife’s number i’ll ask her personally!!
I’ve been using it like forever. never paid a penny, infect i was surprised to find that post that out of curiosity i opened my whatsApp and checked, it says, Service Expiration : Lifetime. i dont think they charge anyone.
i also got 1 year extension last year
This is very usual if your service expired and you have not recharge for 7 days you will got an extra year
I started using watsapp, way back in the era of iphone 3 and later moved to android. Watsapp remained free throughout against my phone number.
Its not the same case with UK number on Windows phone.
For free one year extend, remove your account from the whatsapp and uninstall the software completely, again download it with a fresh version and set your account, it worked for me always
But they register your number in their records,
I know,but by erasing your account from Whatsapp it automatically remove your from the entire network, after that reinstall and creating account gives your one year further subscription. It had worked for me many times
using it from years, had not paid anything. It just extends every year without even a notification.
Here the extension msg i received.
I just got Lifetime for free and I have no idea how or why. I do use it a lot I guess!
Me too just got a msg frm whatsapp stating that ur service has been extended free for life time….by the way I m not an extensive user of whatsapp…and I have started using whatsapp 5 months ago….
