Welcome to our last weekly roundup of all the news you can use for 2017. This week, WhatsApp announced that it's going to end support for BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone 8.0, so if you have one of those devices and want to keep using WhatsApp then you're going to have to switch to a new phone.
This was supposed to happen earlier but then WhatsApp had extended support for both platforms in June this year. At the time, WhatsApp had also revealed that the app will stop working for phones running Nokia S40 from December 31, 2018 - one year from now. The app will stop working on phones running Android 2.3.7 and older (Gingerbread) will be stopped from February 1, 2020. WhatsApp became unavailable on Nokia phones running Symbian S60, from June 30, 2017.
Meanwhile, Reliance Jio and other telcos have new plans as they continue to compete for customers. Jio launched a new Rs. 199 plan offering 1.2GB data per day, and it also has a new plan for Rs. 299 offering 2GB data daily. The plans come with bundled calls and all the other benefits Jio offers. The two plans are both valid for 28 days. Vodafone has a similar plan priced at Rs. 198, offering 1GB of data per day for 28 days with bundled calls, but unlike Jio, the calls are capped. Free calls are capped at 250 minutes per day, and 1,000 per week, with a limit of 300 unique numbers per week. This plan is only for existing customers, while new Vodafone customers can get the plan for Rs. 229.
