    That's a good idea.
    I normally use WhatsApp for the same reason you described.

    I actually just use the normal Facebook app and send messages to friends, just like I would do from my laptop or PC. This way, I can still check my Facebook at the same time. Either way, it saves you money on SMS charges.
