I am thinking of switching to Line or WeChat. Reason being that as of 1/1/18 whatsapp will no longer support certain older platforms (Symbian, BB).

Does anyone have experience with any of those?

You can also have the same number on multiple phones, tablets, or PCs

All those are excellent reasons. If only we could get everyone to switch (or an easy way to migrate groups, and chat history).

One drawback is lack of availability on Symbian (Nokia 208) which is why I am considering Line or WeChat. Anyone with experience using those?

I wish.

Also since everything is on their cloud there's no need to restore it on to the device. It downloads automatically when you go up the chat

Many links that show up when searching for Telegram for Symbian are actually malware.

Do you know that the link you posted is ok?
