CTM_WEB
I'm a big user of Chikka.com sms messenger since 2000 and here I get the big news that Chikka.com will launch their new messenger this August 25, 2010, its a new and light application for sms in your desktop and also in the web, as you can see the photo above is a teaser and preview of their upcoming new website that will be uploaded tomorrow. Chikka.com have 68 million users and who registered online via their website, and Chikka.com is now part of the pinoy digital life since they began and been part of the historical events where Chikka txt messenger was used during the Edsa Dos, Typhoon Ondoy, and the passing of our former President Cory Aquino. (more below)

Till now, the Chikka txt messenger is one of the most useful, effective and reliable form of txt messaging from pc to mobile phone, its an alternative way of communicating to people for emergency, especially when you ran out of load, or in my case, my hands are glued to the laptop keyboard and no time to reach for my mobile phone whenever I'm busy surfing,typing or graphic designing. This year, Chikka will be available in our mobile devices and in every platform, they are now developing and partnering with other 3rd party developers, and Chikka will be an app in our iPhone, BlackBerry and other smybian os phones.

And for the fun part, Chikka now charges a phone user for a P1.00 for every reply to a message from mobile to PC. Communication with a PC to a mobile phone user is now easy, and also it is a big use for OFW or pinoys who live abroad to communicate to their family via Chikka txt messenger.

watch out for the big update! August 25, 2010 at 12 midnight for the new version of Chikka.
