For only P20 a day or P300 a month, you can chat to your heart's content. If you don't want to subscribe to the service, you can still avail yourself of it for only P0.50 per chat message. And oh, you won't be charged for chat messages you receive.

Gawang Pinoy!

Sun Cellular and the brains behind iMessenger, GUI [Greetings Unlimited Inc.], are both Filipino companies. The latter is headed by UP graduate Louie Oviedo. Nothing like using a Filipino-made service for keeping in touch with your kababayans, right?
