Gadu-Gadu is alive. Surprised? Not only that, I also sell GG numbers for quite a lot of money. Eager?
Gadu-Gadu is a cult Polish communicator. If someone woke me in the middle of the night, shone my flashlight in the eyes and had my first GG number recited, I would have done it without hesitation. And standing at attention like a hymn.
Today is Messenger, WhatsApp and dozens of other messengers, but it used to be once.
There is no time today, but Gadu-Gadu remains a nice memory. Even if the current service is a shadow of an old legend. In the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, several million users used Gadu-Gadu. The messenger was modeled on ICQ. His story is more complex because it started with the SMS-Express application, which was something like a hub for SMS gateways. Version 3.0 SMS-Express was renamed to Gadu-Gadu, which most users remembered. Maciej Gajewski told beautifully about the history of Polish Messenger in his text .
Although Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp are extremely popular, Signal or Telegram is thriving, and TenCh's WeChat records are breaking records in China, GG is still trying.
Owners have changed frequently, but GG continues to operate in 2020 and sells gold numbers.
At the time of writing, users have several options to choose from.
In the GG store you can buy a 3-digit number priced from 600 to 1000 PLN. The cheapest version is the usual numbers 932 or 219. For 1000 PLN we will buy such types: 510, 930 or 160.
If you haven't felt the prestige yet, read what messenger owners have to say:
Prestige are details that always speak in your favor. It's the nuances that build your image in the eyes of others. The 3-digit GG number will give you a sense of what is available to few.
The 3-digit VIP number will guarantee you belonging to an elite club, not to mention how fabulously easy it is to remember!
A 4-digit number is cheaper. This costs from 400 to 500 PLN. For a higher amount, we can buy, for example, number 1711. Do not ask why it was placed in the Premium Lux category.
A 5-digit number is an expense of 100 to 200 PLN. In addition, a 9-digit GG Phone number is available for PLN 500.
Hurry up, the number of GG numbers is limited.
Of course I was joking. You don't have to hurry anywhere, because having a 3-, 4- or 5-digit GG number cannot be a sign of prestige, even if the brand owners have enchanted reality with the help of the most sophisticated magic.
Number sale is reset based on the sentiment of those users for whom Gadu-Gadu is a memory of a great adventure, somewhere at the beginning of massification of the Polish Internet. A memory of those somewhat pristine times for our times, when Gadu-Gadu was a fashionable and effective communication tool.
Prestige in Polish. Gadu-Gadu sells short numbers for a thousand
