There's no signing up

register a user name, password or give
away your e-mail address to start using
Hanashi. Simply download it here and you
are good to go. Hanashi uses your phone
number as identifier so there's nothing
extra to remember or register, just chat
away.

All of your friends
You can easily see which of your friends
that are using Hanashi because Hanashi
is connected to your regular phonebook.
And you can just as easily add them to
your Hanashi contact list. If they aren't
already using Hanashi you just invite
them. Hanashi sends an SMS with your
message along with a link to download
Hanashi.
From that moment on they too are added
to your contact list. If they download
Hanashi, you can start to make use of all
great features, but if they don't, you can
keep sending them SMS's via Hanashi.
Hanashi works as your main
communication center even if your friends
aren't using it.

Not always online - but never offline
Unlike other chat applications, you are
never really offline with Hanashi. If your
Hanashi client is turned off and someone
sends you a message, Hanashi will start
automatically and you will get the
message*. It works both ways so you can
always reach your friends even if they
have turned off Hanashi. What happens is
that Hanashi sends an SMS that kick
starts your friend's application, and then
you should both keep your applications on
until you are finished chatting.
You don't have to pay for being online
when you don't want to, but you are still
always available. Clever, right?
* You always have the choice of not accepting the
message right away, and if you don't, Hanashi
won't connect and instead turn off again.

And how much does it cost?
Saying exactly how much things cost is a
bit complicated. It is a jungle out there
with all those operators and types of
subscriptions. We have compared some
and it varies quite a bit. It's mostly really
cheap, and in some cases you even save
up to 75% of the cost compared using
regular SMS and phone services*.
Basically you pay for data traffic when you
use Hanashi so check your subscription
for pricing details. Hanashi has a function
that lets you see how much data and how
many SMS's you have sent using
Hanashi, making it really simple to
calculate the cost.
A normal text message in Hanashi cost
less than 1 kB which in almost all cases
are way less than an SMS. As long as
your friends have Hanashi turned on you
only pay for data transfer, otherwise it's
take an SMS to kick start their application.
Many subscriptions offers free SMS's and
in those cases Hanashi isn't cheaper. But
Hanashi being cheaper isn't really the
point, it's what you can do with Hanashi
for a very low cost that's important.
Hanashi is filled with nice features. And
there are also a lot of subscriptions that
gives you free data traffic, and then
Hanashi is basically free. The same is
true if you use Wi-Fi.
Keep in mind that if you are abroad or
communicate with another country, the
subscriptions usually have other prices
than back home. Free SMS's and free
data traffic are rarely included. Since
Hanashi uses very little data traffic (at
least if you only send text messages) it's
usually very cheap even if you are
abroad, and again, keep your eyes open
for those Wi-Fi spots.
If you have a friend living abroad just
keep Hanashi turned on and all your
communication will be much cheaper than
regular phone usage. This is by the way
how it works with "Try Hanashi" since
everyone using that function have
Hanashi turned on.
