To encourage developers to come up with more apps that can reach more Filipinos, the Smart Developer Network (Smart DevNet) and Chikka Philippines recently organized the “Textify: Chikka API Challenge” in Pasig City. However, majority of the population are still using feature phones and are still highly dependent on SMS for their communication needs. I am pretty sure that this program has reached through the Philippines like a storm.įor those who have not heard of it you ought to check them out - bigger advantage just creating a free account through a computer, but if you got the bucks to make an account on cell phone, then feel free.The Textify board of judges led by Chikka CEO Chito Bustamante join the competition’s champions Sarwar Faruque and Jairus BondocĪs smartphone usage in the country continues to grow, developers are spending a lot of effort to create smartphone applications relevant to the Pinoy market. So besides sim card support through the Philippines, it was also supporting other carriers from the U.S such as Verizon, AT&T (Formerly known as Cingular), T-Mobile and other carriers. There are two ways of running this program - One is you can download the software and install it or you can just go to Chikka Javalite and run it through there - which I find much easier to do - since I bookmark it. I remembered correctly that those who created an account on a U.S cell phone it was like 25 cents per text - loss of advantage here. But others from different countries the prices varies. It cost 2.5 pesos per text those from the Philippines. I was able to just put the numbers of people I know and they would text me back. It was good to see that you can either set up an account on your computer or on your cell phone. So I checked the website and tried it out, it was legit and was true. It all started when one of my friends and also my cousins mentioned to me that I can make free text messaging on cell phones in the Philippines.
I have been an active member of Chikka Messenger for almost 2 years now.
