You do realize that WhatsApp sends more messages than the entire world sends SMS, right?

And it was $32 per user.

Here's a graph that explains WHY WhatsApp is worth $19B. http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/19/facebook-whatsapp/

They have the entire world (pretty much, except for Asia) locked up with their messenger. This is a huge win for Facebook as they were bidding against EVERYBODY. Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Tencent, LINE, etc Everyone wanted WhatsApp and they choose Facebook.

Every user on WhatsApp pays $1/year to use the service. So most of their users are incentivized to use the app. Hence why they have HUGE engagement numbers. And they are adding 1M new users PER DAY. With Facebook's help they will more than likely hit 1B users by the end of this year...
