Chikka Free Text & 1 Peso Reply

Chikka, the leading free text/SMS from PC to cellular phone provider, is now offering reply rates of P 1.00 for messages sent between 11:00 pm to 9 am.

Chikka allows anyone to register their cellular phone number and send free text/messages to selected countries. Members can send the message via their browser or download the Chikka Messenger to their desktop.

I believe they get their profit when the recipient replies back directly to the Chikka account. In our country, the charge was P 2.50 per replied sent.

I just recently found out that Chikka now offers off-peak rates. Replies will be charged only P 1.00 peso per reply when sent from 11:00 pm to 9 am.

This is cool news for us Filipinos and night crawlers who have internet connection. We can text friends without being worried for them using up most of their prepaid cellphone loads/credit.

Being a free-hound myself, I have enjoyed sending free text messages via Chikka. I even have 3 accounts before.

I used Chikka to format a long message and see how it would look. I texted the message to my own cellular phone. The message appeared fine. It is then that I received the notification about off-peak rates from Chikka.
