2go is a social networking, chat, and Instant messaging app. It enables users chat on their mobile phone free. You can meet and add other 2go users as friends. 2go also has open chat rooms on different topics where you can join in the discussion and socialise with other users. There also games to play. 2go also has gateways that enable users chat with friends on GTalk, Mxit, and Facebook.


One of the greatest selling points of 2go chat is its simplicity and lightweight, making it available to lots of low-end phones, something Facebook has failed to do and which they acknowledged when announcing their public offering. 2go can run on any Java enabled mobile phone be it Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson, or BlackBerry. Users can now even use 2go on their PC as part of an experimental service by the company.

This means that with as low as N5,000, one can buy a phone that is 2go ready. You can now see why it is more popular than Facebook app. So, enough of the rambling, it is time to try things for yourself.
