Apparently not everyone got texted about the free Unlimited Yahoo Chat Trial, I asked some friends; but I was. The application is currently downloadable for free on selected phones only; with Globe Telecom promising that it will be available to other phone units soon. Chatting by handset phones has long been available to Yahoo Messenger users who are subscribers of selected phone networks around the globe. I can either access the link Yahoo provides and log in with my username and password or confirm via text as I add a mobile number to my Y Messenger account and be shown as continuously online after closing Y Chat to choose log-in-to-my-phone option. This is my first time downloading an application though. There’s the difference. Of course, with the promo running until Oct 4, 2008, I don’t have to pay the old rate of Php2.50/text. I see from globe.com.ph that they will be charging Php25/day of unlimited access which is cheaper but not as cheap, I suppose, for my Malaysian friend studying in Egypt who chats and accesses the internet using mobile technology. The application has its limitations: First, it takes a while to log-in. All few available emoticons work but the user status options do not work. No matter what status I choose, I always appear as “online” when I log in to the application. Adding and deleting to/from my list of friends take 48 years. There is a “help” to that so labeled but is not really available. My contacts are limited to the list of friends I have. I can’t go to any other room. While PC-to-PC calls from and to other Y Messenger ID’s are free, the phone icon is not available in the Unlichat application. A chat mate can only call me by dialing my mobile number of course. With a phone keyboard too small or my fingers too fast for a touch typist =D, I keep depressing other nearby keys so I am out of the application and have to open it again. Isn’t that great, the free trial will give me a lot of practice? Well, I know this will be perfected later.
