    This may sound stupid but another idea is if you plan on visiting your asawa to be it might be an idea to buy her a cheap pc when you are here.

    Pc,s are much cheaper here you can get an internet ready machine without thrills for about 15000 pesos, roughly 150 pounds. Then she can email you or instant message easily.

    If you put just put a broadband line in for her, different than England it doesnt have a phone just internet, it will cost about 10 pounds a month.

    Might save you money in the long run.

    P.S A webcam here is about 10 pounds so then you can see your beautiful wife to be!

    lol, yes maybe its overloaded, but most of the time it works great, like i said my stepson is sat at my pc must be 6 hours a day just sending his gf txt msgs, but she doesnt reply thru her phone to chikka, as hes got a smart sim in his phone, so it only cost her 2php to text him, but iam sure chikka only charge about that..


    try it a few times thru the day, not just once, maybe busy when the pinoy's are up and about, but i never really had problems with it. thats all i used to chat to my wife for 6 yrs , ICQ and chikka.

    Can be a problem with your firewall, or your router if you use one.
    I'm using Chikka for years without any problem.
    Best regards.
