He recommended TextSecure (on Android) and Signal (on iOS). I asked Nathan Freitas, a hacker friend who is very involved in SMS and use of mobile for advocacy and human rights work around the world. I am keen to stay away from being part of this:

Super excited by this, but am skeptical of WhatsApp in particular. Maybe can give us a bit of context on this one. One idea that emerged at the leadership retreat was that we consider the use of a tool like “Whatsapp” - sending updates to one another on a frequent basis.

This means you don’t download so much data and also don’t need to check the Internet frequently.

Generally, the nice thing about newer applications (including gmail, facebook and even discourse, open source software that powers our discussions here) is that they require fewer “page loads” and let you know when there is something new for you to look at.

Many Europeans I know are very into WhatsApp: This is a conversation that I’d suggest putting out in public - we may get some good input from the community.

Have any of you come across interesting tools, platforms, or approaches from other places? She’s curious about other platforms that might be appropriate for primarily mobile users who don’t want to use a lot of data and with limited wifi access. That is why I thought a cheaper application of our own, similar to Skype, might be ok but then with Skype you have to purchase the credit overseas. Whereas Telikom whilst cheaper does not have a large variety of phones and the outlet services to back it up. Digicel though expensive have a variety of phones that people can access and have the service to back it up. Here in PNG we have both Digicel and the Government network - Telikom.

I'd see a better match for Skype in Cisco or AT&T than Facebook or Google. So that must be valuable, right? Yes, but not necessarily to Facebook or Google, which already have compelling visions of social that Skype does little to bolster. Skype is interesting because it has 30 million concurrent users. I'd actually posit that more people use Skype for instant messaging than for voice calls and, if so, a tie-up with IM-heavy Facebook or Google doesn't make much sense. And, while not universal, voice is more of a business requirement than a consumer requirement.
