    Like the other person stated....................

    Whatsapp in particular is very very useful, and on multiple platforms so you can always talk to your friends on them, they can be added simply by having their contact on your phone and is like a chat based app and is free generally as long as you have mobile internet.

    Other addictions would be a certain few games, in particular:

    Temple Run and Angry Birds.
