WhatsApp, Telegram, Allo, LINE... Although the former is the absolute king of instant messaging there's an increasing amount of options to choose from to talk to our contacts by instant messaging. And now that we can download imo for PC we've got yet another possibility.

It's an instant messaging service that uses the VoIP protocol for communication, as is the case of Microsoft's Skype but, unlike the latter, it doesn't include any geographical restrictions, it's totally free and it requires a minimum bandwidth to work correctly. In countries like Cuba, in which access to the Internet is limited and there are plenty of restrictions on behalf of providers, this is the most popular instant messaging app.

The most used messaging application in Cuba.
