Thank you for this valuable info. I will look into this once I am done with experimenting with plus 2019. I am presently using 12.3 So either I buy at the end of the month (Most probably I will) or return to 12.3 I did a quick google and reached their website. I was able to get charges for whatsapp and them. A question arises if we have to pay both then why not pay whatsapp only. Will go into this later. Regards Akshat
