gumagamit din ba kyo nito? since 2001 user na ko nito. tipid eh lalo na nung hindi pa uso mga unlitxting.

alam nyo rin ba kung paano ito iblock sa pc?

was using in kahit nung nasa Saudi pa ako... malaking katipiran ang hatid sa akin ng CHIKKA nun... dati work email ko ang naka register to send SMS messages to my families and friends sa pinas. me times na medyo mabagal lang pero wala namang problema at least its free.

now i use the web based chikka, mas mabilis ang response time

ok din ang chikka.. well it's free at least sa sender.
very useful lalo na sa mga nasa abroad.

yun lang may times na nagloloko, di makalog-in
or di natatanggap yung message.
but generally astig.

3rd year college pa lang ako, CHIKKA user na ko! pang-salo kapag nauubusan ng load. International pa ang pwede mag-SMS.

ngayon, wala ako sa Pinas, may dala akong roaming. Piso lang ang text sa akin ng mga mahal ko sa buhay dyan, tapos ako naman libre using CHIKKA services.

i used to have an account from chikka kahit nung anjan pa ko sa pinas at hanggang andito na ko (sg) nagwork kasi malaking tipid at free, pag nag reply yung family ko at mga friends sa message ko through chikka mas marami yung free na txt both smrt at globe (if im not mistake) kasi parehong smart at globe subscriber yung mga txtmate ko eh.

so far hindi pa naman ako nakaranas ng kahit na anong problem using chikka.
