Chikka (
http://im.chikka.com/) is used by me to save money when I sms friends in Philippines.
Chikka Text Messenger lets you send free text messages to mobile subscribers in the Philippines from wherever you are in the world. Your friends can also reply to your Chikka messages instantly, either from their mobile phones or downloadable messenger clients.
Normal charge to reply to a chikka from the Philippines cost 2.5p but drops to 1p after midnight. They have packages that saves you money. 2.5p may be small money for us but to a filipina earning about 130p/day is like costing you 2% of your daily salary to send an sms. Ouch.
Sending of sms with chikka without any reply is limited to 6 sms/ 160 characters a day after which they block you. I get round this blockage by registering many accounts limited by the number of emails you have.
I no God of Fortune. Just a poor man forced to find and use the cheapest means to get by in life. At times, I get told off by my richer friends as to why I need to be so calculative.
