Message received

"The day after a Brazilian judge ordered the suspension of the Whatsapp cellphone chat and voice service for 48 hours, cutting off millions of users from one of the country’s most popular communication services, another judge overturned the ban.

It is so widely used in Brazil that people often ask for "your WhatsApp" rather than your number. The ban began at midnight Wednesday."
