[nfb-talk] NFB and WhatsApp?

[kaye zimpher]

Hi Jim:
>From what I understand, Messaging is the purpose of the app. One can create 
a group and message everyone, or individual friends. I guess groups would be 
good for Chapters or other events.
I also like an app called Roger. It basically does the same thing, but has 
sort of a walkie talkie feature.
The messages on either app are real time, but verbal so no need for texting.
