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

by edXcribe on August 17, 2006

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!

welcs! :D

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!

honga pala, read about that at pinoytechblog. haven’t tried it though …

Mike Lopez September 18, 2006 at 12:42 am

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.

ka edong September 18, 2006 at 6:45 am

;-) the trick eludes some people

Pete November 1, 2006 at 3:41 pm

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.

Mardy January 6, 2007 at 7:06 pm

Please help, I cannot download chikka for free texting on my computer, only the orange color comes out without text on my computer. thanks

ka edong January 7, 2007 at 12:02 am

alex June 1, 2007 at 1:56 pm

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/

ka edong June 3, 2007 at 12:15 am

kewl! Salamat sa info

dien June 4, 2007 at 5:28 pm

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,

Chokko May 15, 2008 at 10:32 am

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.

VReality June 18, 2008 at 6:26 pm

o nga. minsan di pede sa 0905 and 0906.

MayFutaDeto June 18, 2008 at 6:28 pm

siya nga pala. pag naubos credits mo. register ka ulit ng bagong account-no need to register cellphone number para mas mabilis.

riotE June 24, 2008 at 4:25 pm

I recently tried http://www.chawt.com and their sms really works. I send sms to a friend and my friend can reply from his mobile. That’s cool.
