Chikka Talk - Send SMS via Google Talk

I got this info from Mon. G-Talk users can now "Chikka-Talk" via Google Talk! This means that G-Talk users can now send SMS to Globe Telecoms, Smart Telecoms, and SUN Cellular mobile subscribers.

You must first add the recepient's number to your Google Talk client. To add, use the format 639XXXXXXXXX@chikkatalk.com. The user will now appear on your Google Talk contact list and will support the Chikka logo as their picture. I've tried to send an international SMS using ChikkaTalk, but instead I recieved this message: "1XXXXXXXXXX@chikkatalk.com is offline and can't receive messages right now."

As Mon said, previous Chikka rules still apply. So if a recepient does not reply with your SMS after 3 messages, you'll be barred to send more messages until he/she replies. I haven't tried it yet though.

I think I'll be using Google Talk more since Chikka's program is a resource hog. Now if only my Yahoo! Messenger friends would start migrating to G-Talk :) As you can see, I have less than 15 contacts on Google Talk, and most of them are offline.
