Chikka Tip: Send free SMS over and over and over ….

August 17th, 2006 | by ka edong |

Ever encountered the “anti-spam” feature of Chikka that says your recipient needs to reply to your Chikka account for you to continue sending free text to your recipient? Here’s a work-around…

  1. Remove your friend’s name from your buddy list
  2. Add your friend’s name to your buddy list

Voila! Chikka thinks your buddy is a new name and you get a fresh set of free SMS message you can send to the same old buddy.

I got this tip from former office-mate, Katherine (o-ha!), our official Chikka Babe!

      another tip, ask your buddy to register for his/her own chikka account before you try to send a message. After he/she registers, send him/her a message then ask to reply on your chikka’s original message. Then ok na yan… you can send your entire chikka credits on that number :D Costs P5.00 on your buddy’s part though :P

      if you have gmail and google talk, you can send text messages to other phones by adding them as contacts. the format is

      63xxxyyyyyyy@chikkatalk.com

      xxx = carrier access code
      yyyyyyy = subscriber mobile number

      free text messages!

      the chikka via googletalk works smooth and i’m not even using the official googletalk client. i just used gaim and it works fine. however i think you will no longer be allowed to send after you have sent 3 messages (or is it 5) unless your textmate replies.

      Hmmm, I used Freetxt.net but I don;t think they have a similar system. I can send all my credit to anyone I like there, but chikka looks fun, think I might check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

      chikka on linux…
      there is a plugin for gaim to add chikka’s protocol. it is called chix. But i think, it hasnt been updated for a while so it will only work on older versions of gaim. http://chix.sourceforge.net/

      NOTE: does this mean you can share or send load from your chikka credits to a celfone number you wish to? (i.e., pasa-load or share-a-load)

      Thanks sa mga tips like add like removing and adding your buddy into the buddy list hehehe. Kung about naman sa limit na 20 text eh mag gawa ka ng madaming account. Right now I had 5 chikka accounts. Pag naubos yung 20 free text nung isa, gamitin ko naman another account ko.

      o nga. minsan di pede sa 0905 and 0906.
