Staying Connected

Image source: Indiblogger


We live in a time when everyone everywhere is busy. No matter be it your friends, family or colleagues, people hardly have the time to actually pick up the phone and talk to you for more than a couple of minutes. This is why chats are gaining popularity. 

In the age of smartphones, it is easy to stay connected with your loved one by a mere click of an icon. Almost all the phones nowadays have access to WiFi and internet. Quikr Nxt is an app that can be conveniently downloaded on your mobile phones and that helps you stay in touch while on the go. Let me give you three reasons why I prefer chat rather than a phone call:

Firstly, it allows me to swap photos and pictures instantly with a friend or family member. Reading a book that you love? Loving it so much that you can't wait to recommend it to your friend? The solution is simple. Click a picture of the book and send it across. It also saves a lot of time which otherwise would have been spent exchanging pleasantries over the phone. Exchanging photos are one of the best features of a chat as it helps to view photos of any function that you may not have been able to attend. This way you don't have to miss any of the fun! Sure, it doesn't help that you are far away from your friends at the time. But seeing the pictures first hand is definitely the next best thing. 

Secondly, a phone chat is much more cost saving than your average phone call rates. All you need is internet connectivity and you are good to go. No more fretting over the tiresome lengthy telephone bills that makes your heart flutter and results in your knees going weak. You can exchange all sorts of information, gossip and what not, with your chat apps. The privacy of private chats as well as group conversations are assured when you use your mobile apps. You can even exchange contact details of other people that you want rather than scurrying around searching for a pen and paper in case you need to jot it down. This way you don't have to worry about those scraps of paper getting lost magically from your pocket. Most information gets saved on your phone memory, depending upon your phone settings. 

Thirdly, these chats gets saved automatically and you can easily go back and refer to things that you may have missed during the conversation. Unless you hit the delete button, most phones have the option of the chats getting saved automatically. Forgot the date of a party or dinner? Fret not. Simply open your last conversation and make a note of the dates on your calender or to-do list. Making notes while on the go when you don't have a pen or paper helps you stay organized through the quirky apps we find these days. Visit Quikr today to know more about one such app called the Quikr Nxt. Explore and have fun. And more importantly, don't forget to stay connected!

  1. I wonder with so many chat options already in the fray, how would Quikr next make a difference? While people talk about handwritten letters getting extinct, these numerous chat options are killing phone conversations.

    1. I do agree. But living in a digital world, it's hard to ignore them altogether.

  2. I find texting on a phone just plain clumsy - I realize this is a generational issue; my son texts quickly and fluently. I would much rather talk than text or chat, or even use FaceTime on myiPhone, personally. Alana
