Free SMS with Gmail Chat
Did you know that you can send free sms through gmail chat? Yes I am definitely referring to the Google's web-mail right there on your web browser or the google talk app. Tried it a couple of times with different people and it works! Amazing huh? I bet only a few knew this and so the main reason why I blogged it. And today I will show how to do it. Ready? Already!!!
So first things first, you must know that you should have an active gmail account. Got me? So try logging into your own account now. I am logged as of the moment too!
Once your logged on, look for the chat section, I have mine on the right side, I bet you have yours on the bottom left part. Check out the lab section if you want to have your chat section at the right part.
If you wanna send out a message, just send that contact an instant message and alas! That person would receive that message right there and then!
Now you can send at most three sms to that number everyday only! Not bad at all. Once you reached the limit, your phone will receive this notification:
This is just one of the ways where you can send out free sms, you don't need to buy minutes or loads for your phone anymore! Lols, Our local Carriers will kill me for this...haha.
Enjoy with your free texts!

And then add a new contact with this format : 63 + your
10 digit mobile number @chikkatalk.com. So in my case, I entered
639072011***@chikkatalk.com. Once added, it will show as online and you
that phone number will receive an sms too.

| received the three test messages with the reply notification, sorry they are not that clear! |
Note: If you do not reply to this message, the user will be blocked from sending you messages. Reply with any messages to disable block function.See? So this can be useful on emergency times or when your out of minutes and you're too lazy to go out and buy minutes or load.

Latest Chikka Update
Are you familiar of chikka? If you are, then good but if not, then let me introduce it to you. Chikka is a site which gives you a means to send sms for free. Well, it is for free but only up to three text messages, if you want to continuosly use it, the receiver needs to reply to your message first before you could continue. Even so, I still love this site, I know there are a lot of free texting sites but chikka has been introduced to me first and I stick to it.
Wayback in college, I rarely buy minutes or loads for my cellular phones, here in the philippines, we are used to buying prepaids rather than having a plan. I also prefer this because I am not into calls and that I only send sms to my family members. So one time when I badly needed to send my mom a message and I don't have any load anymore, my college friend suggested to use chikka instead since we were in a cafe that time. So I created my own account and sent out a message to my mother. She received it immediately and since I informed her I don't have any load, she also had reloaded my sim card account. Cool right?
Chikka was really helpful for me up until I graduated, when I had my own internet connection, I never had bought prepaid load anymore because I had relied to chikka. Whenever I need to send a notification to my mom or to anyone else, chikka is just a click away.
Even now, I am still a fan of chikka and awhile ago, I sent out a message but that was barred because I have zero balance. Immediately, I opened chikka.com and to my surprise, they had updated their site. From the red and blue theme to a lighter blue and orange theme. Their background reminds me of twitter.
But anyway, I signed in and was able to send a message to my buddy. Here's a shot of my account. It is much more refreshing now and the user interface is more friendly than before. I like it, though I could still think of twitter every time I log in.
But overall, I love their upgrade and it is faster than before.
Two thumbs up for chikka! Keep it up!
