Im finding that everybody i talk to in spain has whatsapp when i want to communicate with them but i can unless i get my hands on a android pop my card in setup the whatsapp application log in transfer the bar code into my ubuntu phone then it works i think ? i really need to get it working so just trying to get a lend of a android to even try this .... im pretty certain there is no way around this unless anybody knows any different i also tried to get video call ready to speak to the kids when in spain but thats not working as well - there is a fix in place to put the camera the right way round which has been implemented for BQ4.5 but not HD5, but i read its getting done ...... hopefully! so at least we have a app that can video call while we wait for the likes of skype which could be worth looking at using the ubuntu package that works using libertine containers as a work around for now i guess? but that wont cover the BQ phones as you would have to install libertine yourself and not sure thats a good idea or not?.. so were pretty much cut of from video calls and the popular whatsapp im sure its a blocker for lots of people specially in spain were everybody seems to have it?!
