We Meet FAQ's

What is We Meet?

We Meet is a group messaging service. We Meet enables you to send/receive messages to your groups of friends and also know their current locations.

Is We Meet free?

For now We Meet service is free to use. But please remember there will be standard SMS rates as levied by your mobile operator will apply when you create groups, invite members and send chat messages.

Is We Meet service available outside of India?

We Meet is currently available only in India.

Is We Meet service available to whole of India?

We are currently using a SMS long code of Bangalore, which means for people of Bangalore, local SMS rates would apply when they use the service. Technically it would work in the whole of India, but the rates would be higher (depending on what your mobile operator charges) when you use the service outside of Bangalore.

SMS Delivery is un-reliable, so how does it affect the We Meet service?

As we all know SMS are some time lost (though the % is very low) and since We Meet uses SMS as a transport bearer, the service does suffer when SMS are lost. However we have taken every effort to build reliability mechanism in our service so that the critical parts of the service - like Registration, Group creation etc are reliable.

How to register in We Meet?

After download the client from menu open the installation folder and then select the We Meet icon.Finally click on the first time user to register.

Are there any restrictions while registering in We Meet?

Yes,First name and Last name fields will not accept more than 10 characters.

Can I use text based service after installing We Meet client?

No.Currently you cannot use text based service once you install and register using We Meet Client. Also remember that once you install the client, the groups that you were part of when using the text-only client will not show up in the java client. This is an enhancement which we will release in the next few version.

I moved from a text only service to a Java client, will it have all my information of the previous groups that I was part of?

Currently we dont sync back your group information when you migrate to a Java client from a text only client. What this means is once you install the Java client, you are not going to see the groups that you were part of before.

We have done a thorough testing on E71, N95, 3600 slide, 5130XP & 7210. While it should work on other model's of Nokia (S40 & S60), there could be some device specific issues. We would keep this site updated with the devices supported. Please note, the UI on N95 8GB has some performance issues.
