In the show available credits option it shows many operators and also in the Indian one below it shows 29[alloted], 1[used], so i guess it limited.Then wht r the other operatores for?

I loved that software

Dont put in 0 only prefix 91. Also u can use 2 options when registering PC+Mobile a/c or Pc a/c. I chose the 2 nd option. It is working for me.

Does that mean we can send only 29 sms for free and not more than that?

I guess so. There isnt any email or contact us option in it so cant contact their cust servcie .. But how shud one use the other operators in show credit option like AT&T, etc...
I presume there is intl messaging.
Let me know if u get a cust supprt email id or any as such to contact them to get a feedback on the other things?

well its not unlimited. coz yesterday i saw available credits as 46 and 2de its 32. so i guess certain number of sms' are alloted to each account per day. anyway its fine for me. i use it to send national sms as it costs me rs.2 per national sms (hutch karnataka).
nevertheless a great service!

There are limitations, 30 SMS per day to Indian networks. Many other operators are supported with 20 - 30 SMS limit per day. Moreover, you gain credits when you receive a reply from a mobile, which increases the credit limit for the day. So if your credit for the day is over, you can wait for a mobile user to reply to your message so that you’ll regain a credit. Otherwise, you can wait 24 hours from the first time your account was active for the day to receive your daily message credits. However, Credits not used during the day are not carried over to the next day. To check your available credit, from your Chikka Messenger client, click on the Control Panel button and select Options, then click on Show Available Credits. You can have SMS forwarded to your mobile if you are offline and also you alert your friends when you go online in Chikka messenger. I hope they will start MMS as well soon as its already available in Philippines. Chikka's revenue comes from the revenue earned when a mobile user replies to message sent from Chikka Messenger. Yes, there is a 5 message limit per buddy, until they reply back. Thats the only downside, other than that, it works really well !
