If WhatsApp gave you a phone number, are you willing to use only mobile data?

WhatsApp is better than calling and texting because:

1. Audio quality is great

2. Messaging is more rich and can send files

3. No roaming - it works everywhere.

And if WhatsApp gave you a real USA phone number (instead of registering with your current, carrier-provided number) it would have benefits like:

1. A phone that works anywhere - with Wifi or mobile data. No roaming

2. You could call/text anyone with or without WhatsApp (because you have a real number)

3. It's just a better messaging experience: multi-device, send files, richer functions

... Would you cancel your expensive wireless plan and use (or port your number to) WhatsApp as your primary number?

If not - what would be your concerns?
