Send SMS through Googletalk
I just got this email from a friend of mine who works in Chikka. You can use your Googletalk client to send to Globe/Smart/Sun mobile phones. To send to a mobile phone, simply add a new contact on your Googletalk client, using the format 6391xxxxxxxx@chikkatalk.com. I just tried it and it does work.
According to the email, the rules of Chikka still apply (P2.50 for replying from your phone). Sending from Googletalk remains free but from what I experienced, if you don’t respond through your mobile phone after 3 messages, your number is blocked from Googletalk.

wow it works
Works even without the googletalk client. I used meebo.com to log in to googletalk, added my cell number and sent a messege, it works.
Works great!
I actually was trying an experiment where I tried to forward email from my gmail to my cellphone. Didn’t work. :C
Will try again tho.
Remember unimobile???
Unimobile and its peers were using SMS modems – not authorized by the telcos. Chikka does partner with them and the telcos get a share.
Google Talk + Chikka == IM Federation in action!
Thanks for the heads up! I am tired of the Chikka client

This is Just great!!!!
Our company has blocked the use of chikka messenger giving me the reason that it eats up a lot of bandwith (i duno if that’s true and i didn’t try to find out if it is)..
This is a big help..

How many different ways can Jabber/Googletalk SMS a cell? I know this service is free but are there other carriers/phones that will allow SMS messaging back and forth through this type of network?
