Welcome to the new hit that is conquering the Haredi sector: the 'WhatsApp Phone' - which allows for interactive discussion groups via phone calls. If until now you were used to following new messages only by the 'beep' sound that heralds one, now you can receive a phone call with the recording of the new message.
Like WhatsApp, its cousin WhatsApp Phone also allows group conversations. You can add members to the group, block others, and even 'mute' it for quiet hours.
The days of "in between times" mark WhatsApp as the new hit of the sector, with the most active groups being family groups, rushing to inform their loved ones about particularly lucrative Easter flour distributions, family joys, but also idle chats... This is how one can be exposed to sensational news such as "I want to inform you that we bought a new vacuum cleaner" - news that Avraami Waldman excitedly conveyed to the members of the group, which also includes about twenty of his nephews, with the responses and warm greetings not long in coming, of course.

The success of the WhatsApp Phone stems from its bridging the technological gap created with the introduction of kosher phones for use in the Haredi community - now the 'Nyes' are also available to owners of kosher phones.
The only drawback of the device is the lack of the ability to perform the "copy-paste" operation, say the users who were also exposed to WhatsApp.
So did anyone here mention a $19 billion exit for the ultra-Orthodox entrepreneur?
