FREE SMS/Text to Philppines

Wednesday, December 28, 2011 jeffrey 0 Comments

What do you do if you run out of load or if your cellphone battery runs dry just when you need to text someone? Or maybe you're in another country and don't want to waste on a P15 SMS reply. Well, here are some alternatives you can use to send FREE SMS/text in the Philippines. I've also pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of each service. Try it out and share your experience through the comments section below. What's the best service for you?

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPpvoi3tfsUwFPO4oDgXNslb3jMp1C04EfzaCZemyWWUNuWplx_2BNTjPjwZouK3HGwKoIRTch0sK5P5il6DqQNT-3Pg-keA-bllyA9jVzdFkLMp3Q7jz0XIutgxPVRZROweVkAls_xKg/s320/Chikka+logo+%28Large%29.jpg


Chikka

Upside
  • Been operating for a long time
  • Character limit is like regular SMS - 160 characters
  • SMS are sent instantly
  • Mobile forwarding allows you to receive all your offline
  • Use Chikka in different mobile and computer OS as well as via web browser
Downside
  • Limited FREE text but you can earn more SMS as your "buddy" (the person you sent an SMS) replies
    • Smart - 20 FREE SMS
    • Globe - 30 FREE SMS
    • Sun - 20 FREE SMS
  • Replies costs P2.00 for Sun and P2.50 for Globe and Smart although there are bucket plans available
  • Registration required but is easy. You may register via mobile number or email or both
  • Most mobile phone displays the name of the SMS sender thus making the receiver believe that the SMS did not come from Chikka. The only time the receiver knows that it was sent via Chikka is through another followup SMS by Chikka informing that the SMS was sent by their platform. Mobile phones register the name of the sender because a 4 digit prefix is simply added in front of the sender's number. i.e. 2814+Chikka ID
  • To prevent spam, you are allowed to send 2-3 text messages to a number. If that number does not reply, that number will no longer
    be able to receive Chikka messages from you

Gmail SMS

Upside

  • Integrated in your Gmail account. NO installation needed
  • Easy to send SMS. No registration required (provided you have a Gmail account)
  • Recipient of SMS can reply but with a fee. P2.00 for Sun, Globe and Smart
Downside
  • 138 character limit per SMS
  • Limited 50 FREE texts but you can earn 5 extra FREE SMS per reply received. Every 24 hours, you will be given an additional 1 Free text.
  • Not very reliable. There are delays and sometimes the SMS isn't sent at all
  • Does not notify recipient of SMS the cost per reply and that it came from Gmail. Only shows that the SMS came from your Gmail address

Smart Sun Dual Plan worth it?

Thursday, December 15, 2011 jeffrey 0 Comments

Smart and Sun just unveiled a new postpaid plan that tries to bring the power of the 2 networks together. For P549 a month, you get a Smart and Sun postpaid plan with unlimited text to both networks. Smart to Smart calls for 2 hours and Sun to Sun calls for 4 hours. They packaged the plan with a dual sim Nokia phone. The big question is, is the Smart Sun Dual Plan 549 worth it? Let's evaluate shall we?



Upside:
  • Comes with a free dual-SIM Nokia C2-03 phone worth about P4,500
  • Unilmited SMS to Smart and Sun
  • Smart to Smart calls for 2 hours and Sun to Sun calls for 4 hours
  • Cheaper than existing promos like Smart Unlitext - Unlimited Smart to Smart SMS and plus 20 hrs call to Smart good for a month for 5 days for P60

Downside:

  • Lock in period of usually 2 years or 24 months
  • You receive 2 billing statements every month
  • Old numbers from existing plans may not be transferred to the Smart Sun Dual plan
  • More expensive than existing promos like Sun prepaid TU200 - Unlimited Sun to Sun SMS and 500 text other networks plus 4 hrs to Sun call good for a month for P200
  • More expensive than existing postpaid - Unlimited Sun to Sun SMS and calls plus 250 SMS to other networks good for a month for P350

Conclusion:

If you are a heavy user of Smart SMS service and want additional SMS and calls to Sun, go with this Smart Sun Dual plan. If however you are a heavy user of Sun SMS and only need to contact a few Smart numbers, it's better to stick with the prepaid or postpaid plan of Sun. Then again, it's up to you on how you will weigh the pros and cons I listed above.

Here's an interesting website to kill time and possibly win some prizes along the way.

The games are usually about predicting outcome of various events such as those happening in local TV shows, sports, celebrity, news, and others. You place your YeEVents points as bets to the choice you have made. If you made the correct bet, you and other people who selected the same choice will be splitting the whole pot comprised of points. The higher your bet is, the bigger percentage of that pot goes to you. Some of the games have cash prizes and GCs that come along with the points. Those who start early in the game get a head start in earning points and winning points.

                Chuck's Deli Buffy Challenge

                Monday, December 05, 2011 jeffrey 0 Comments

                Are you up for a MEGA eating challenge like Bigby's Cafe Titanic Treat and Ridiculous Burger Challenge of Burger Avenue? Well, here's something to add to your list. If you happen to pass by Eastwood or Serendra, drop by Chuck's Deli for their Buffy Challenge. Gobble down a full 10-inch slab of The Buffy slabwich within 5 minutes and you get it for FREE plus you get the awesome t-shirt (photo below) so you can go around boasting your achievement to everyone. If you fail the challenge, you have to pay the full amount of The Buffy slabwich plus a walk of shame. But if you're not up for The Buffy challenge just yet, you could try out Chuck Deli's other mouthwatering dishes which I made a review on below.


                Are you up for the challenge?


                The Buffy Challenge isn't for everyone, me included. I mean I don't think I could even finish a whole slab in one sitting. It's definitely not for the faint of heart stomach. In Eastwood branch, the Chuck Champs board looks empty with just 16 names. The Serendra branch has more names (29 to date) since that was the 1st branch to open. Most of them finished the monstrous challenge with only seconds to spare. One of those who completed it actually tried 3 times before he finally did it. The fastest on the board showed 3 minutes 10 seconds. Learn more about the challenge on Chuck's Deli's website


                The Chuck Champs of Eastwood

                If you are planning to take on the challenge, here are a few tips Chuck's Deli shared with us.
                1. The Buffy Slabwich has garlic sauce which is quite spicy. This might slow you down. You can tell the staff to hold the spice and they would gladly oblige.
                2. Most of those who completed the challenge didn't eat the slabwich as is. They first ate the bread before they ate the patty.
                3. Cross your fingers and hope you finish on time

                The Buffy - P255 (half slab), P445 (full slab)

                The Buffy is a chicken slabwich with buffalo (aka Buffy) sauce. The level of hotness was just right for me. Compared to a buffalo chicken, I'd say they could improve on their sauce. It's OK but it doesn't quite hit the spot for me in terms of flavor.


                The Slabwiches

                The Slabwiches are Chuck's signature super sandwiches served in 10-inch long Ciabatta bread. A slabwich weighs roughly around half a kilo and are sold in half or full sizes. Almost all of their food are home made. From bread, to sauces, to patties, to sausages, and chips. What I find impressive is the Ciabatta bread. It's cooked halfway in the commissary and fully cooked when someone orders a slabwich. This way, you don't bake the bread too much. I like the crunchy texture of the Ciabatta outside while retaining that soft spongy texture inside.


                Reuben- P275 (half slab), P495 (full slab)

                The first time I've tried a Reuben sandwich was in Peninsula hotel. Boy was the price outrageous but it was darn good. I couldn't help comparing the Reuben slabwich of Chuck's Deli with the one in Peninsula. The taste wasn't exactly the same but it was rather close to the satisfaction of my palette. I just wished they put in more cheese in this. The Reuben of Chuck's Deli is made from homemade Angus corned beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, mustard with garlic sauce. You can also choose to go with the spicy garlic sauce for that extra punch.


                Faking Duck- P195 (half slab), P345 (full slab)

                There's no typo in the title there. The Faking Duck is basically a slabwich that tries to imitate the taste of the peking duck by using the dark hoisin sauce used in peking duck. Instead of duck, the meat used here is pork. To complete the taste, leaks, lettuce and crispy noodles are added into the mix. I find his quite good. There's not too much fat on the pork so it's not greasy.


                California Waki- P255 (half slab), P445 (full slab)

                California maki in a slabwich! The California Waki makes use of kani, mango, egg, lettuce and wasabi mayo to give you that california maki taste you love. I wasn't able to try this those eating it looked like they enjoyed it.


                Chuck's Burger - P245

                I'm quite picky when it comes to burgers but Chuck's Burger just went to my top favorite list of burgers. The half-pound Angus beef patty was juicy and seasoned perfectly. I think even without the lettuce, tomato, spicy garlic sauce, and mayo mustard, this could still make me happy. I'm always all about the beef. A good burger always starts with a good beef patty. There's a spicy version of this burger which I didn't like. The chili just destroyed the taste of the patty.



                All the tables has 2 sauce containers. One is labeled garlic sauce while the other shows spicy garlic sauce. I think this is the same sauce they use for the slabwiches and burgers. This way, you don't have to ask for more sauce.


                Footlong Chilidog - P395
                Chili Fries - Not in the menu


                The Footlong Chilidog is a classic footlong 'dog served on a fresh hoagies bun with chips or onion rings as sides. The Chilidog for me was just average. It didn't really leave an impression on me. So did the chili fries which used the same sauce.



                All slabwiches and footlong hotdogs comes with a sidekick of home-made chips or onion rings. The fries for me is a bit greasy but I did love the chips. The onion rings on the other hand was beautifully breaded to a crunchy texture.


                (from left to right)
                Fresh Lemonade - P85
                Strawberry Smoothie - P125
                Arce Dairy Milk Shake Chocolate flavor - P165
                Power Shake - P145


                I liked the Power Shake which had lettuce, apple and orange blended together. All the fruit and vegetable flavors were in complete harmony. Refreshing and healthy.



                You can also try their imported beers and drinks. It's not listed on the menu but you can find it at the counter near the kitchen area.
