RidgeText on
WhatsApp
Free messaging in 180+ countries. Use RidgeText through WhatsApp—the world's most popular messaging app with 2.7 billion users worldwide.
Why We Built WhatsApp Support
We heard you loud and clear. While SMS works great in North America, we know that's not the whole story. Many of our international adventurers face expensive SMS charges—sometimes dollars per message - making RidgeText inaccessible for extended trips abroad.
But it's not just about cost. Millions of people worldwide simply prefer WhatsApp as their primary messaging platform. It's how they communicate with family, friends, and businesses every day. In countries like India, Brazil, Indonesia, and across Europe, WhatsApp isn't just an app - it's the way people message.
We also recognized another crucial need: connectivity beyond cell towers. Whether you're at a remote mountain lodge with WiFi but no cell service, using T-Mobile's new satellite messaging, or traveling internationally with just a data plan, WhatsApp keeps you connected to RidgeText's full suite of outdoor intelligence.
By adding WhatsApp support, we're making RidgeText truly global and accessible - because everyone deserves AI-powered safety and navigation assistance on their adventures, regardless of their location, carrier, or messaging preference.
