Are you annoyed by text conversations that seem to drag out? Do you dislike never knowing if the person on the other side even got your text? Do you sometimes feel ignored by your friends? There is a solution for all of your sorrows – Kik Messenger. Kik Messenger is real-time texting for ALL. It is comparable to BBM on the Blackberry, but is not exclusive to one particular device – any smartphone such as the iPhone, Android, Blackbery, iPod, etc. can support Kik.
The messaging system makes talking with your friends significantly easier and more like face-to-face conversing with its symbols that pop up letting you know when a message has been sent (S), delivered (D), and read (R). These applications are especially useful as we are all living busy lives, and at times don’t have the time to respond to texts immediately. Kik lets anyone who has sent you a message know that you have received their text but it hasn’t been read yet, and you are not purposely ignoring them by not responding.
The best part about Kik is that it is 100% FREE and you will never pay your phone carrier for messages sent or received. To set up an account, you simply use your email address to pick a username that identifies you on Kik Messenger. The messaging systems is also worldwide, so you can talk to your friends on the other side of the country and avoid carrier fees by using your data plan (less than 1 KB used per message). However, roaming charges would apply, but this can be combated with the use of WiFi whenever possible.
As Kik Messenger states – “Kik is turning your smartphone into your passport to the world. Are you ready for the ride?”
