Google Hangouts
Google Hangouts is like a combination of WhatsApp and Facebook Chat. Yet it has the added bonus of allowing you to block people, something which can't be done through WhatsApp. Due to the connection to your Gmail account (if you have one), it makes sharing things a lot easier.
Its speed and user friendly interface have earned it a spot in our Skype alternative list.
