How to Send Free SMS from your Gmail

We have been receiving emails from Chikka users who want to know if there's a way to send SMS from their email accounts. Here's a neat trick for Gmail users and those who like to send free text. ;)

While logged in to Gmail:

1. Add your mobile buddy@chikkatalk.com

Click on Add Contact on the embedded chat client in your Gmail account. Type in your buddy’s mobile number followed by “@chikkatalk.com” (for example: 639178218787@chikkatalk.com). Your friend's mobile number will then appear in your GTalk buddy list.

2. Click on your buddy’s name or mobile number and fire away! :)

Chikka buddies offline? No worries! Your messages will be forwarded to their mobile phones.

P.S. You can also do this in your GTalk chat client if you downloaded one.
