Smart Uzzap IM Service

On July 6, Smart launched an all-in-one IM service called Uzzap. The service was geared towards teens that’s obviously been hooked up on chatting all the time.

Smart Uzzap offers unlimited chatting from your phone to a PC and vice-versa, allowing additional interconnection features such as email and SMS. The platform is a free software you can download directly to your Smart cellphone and desktop PC (no Mac OSX version yet). Uzzap adds your contact list from YM and MSN allowing you to view and chat with users of these two IMs. (Text UZZAP to 7272 to download the program for free.)

From July 6 to 31, 2008, Smart subscribers can use the services for free (with 10 SMS limits daily). However, once the roll-out is completed, time-based charging will be as follows:

Php25/day - 100 free SMS
Php150/week - 500 free SMS
Php400/month - 2,000 free SMS

The Uzzap service will only be available to Philippine subscribers on the Smart network.
