You can simply sign up using your mobile number to start sending messages to your friends. All the three services are free for lifetime. You can send messages to your friends even when you are offline, the JioChat will automatically deliver the message when you are connected to the internet.
Group Chat
The best part about JioChat is that you can create groups with up to 500 members in it, which is great. WhatsApp limits this to just 256 members whereas Messenger allows you to send a message to 150 members at a time.

JioChat allows you to follow popular brands and companies via channels to know the latest trends and promotional offers which is lacking in both WhatsApp and Messenger.
