I also found an Instant Messenger which you can use your mobile phone to connect with your friend of MSN, YM, AIM, and GTalk. It seems to be an new and easy

way of connecting with friends and relatives of local and oversea. All i need to do is just logon to http://philippines.im.friendplay.com/ and download the instant messenger then install it into your phone. And enjoy. Hope you enjoy this little software.

[...] The company is only 18 months old, but has over four million subscribers, mostly in South East Asia — for many, it is their only form of web access, and compliments existing mobile usage patterns in some countries, like SMS in the Phillipines. [...]

Most of mid-range phones nowadays have a built-in IM applications. Our network operators should start implementing new services to us. Don’t be like US operators that dictates what to offer to their subscribers which influence phone makers so they either remove some phone features or stop release the phone.

I forgot all about YehBA. I had a N70 and I could have tried the Symbian version, but.. not anymore.

Now I’m downloaded it on a Nokia 6070 on Globe. “Could not connect to server.”

We wrote about another mobile IM: Globe’s IMEVRYWHR. It doesn’t seem very successful, maybe because it is only for S60 phones.

That’s right, prepaid services generally have limited features like web using the WAP gateway. Direct Internet access through the APN is restricted.

About the Chikka issue: Hope someone from there is checking this post.

Re: Yehba, I now got a Nokia – a N80 – but this is Series 60 3rd Edition so not supported yet.

Hey,

for IM services, GPRS must be working in a way, that IP traffic is allowed. The Globe Prepaid-SIM I have, when visiting the Philippines from time to time, only allows WAP via GPRS, no IP traffic at all!

Regarding Chikka: is somebody using Chikka Txt2Mail? (http://www.chikka.com/txt2mail/)? When someone has a mobile, which can send e-mail (for example Blackberry), one can send e-mails to the philippine recipient which he or she can receive as SMS. Unfortunately, this is not working reliably. Such kind of messages are delayed, normally up to 2 to 3 hours, sometimes also more. Only during philippine night-time (midnight to 5 o’clock A.M.), messages are sent in real-time. This obviously show that the problem is related to heavy traffic during day-time? I wonder why Chikka does not improve their server and this service. It is going like this since more than 1 year. And Chikka does not answer e-mails regarding this issue….

Regards from Germany,
Marco
