Chikka Plus Globe Roaming Abroad


Chikka Text Messenger is definitely helpful if you stay abroad. Why? because it let you send free text messages to your home country. Like me, I went to South Korea and currently stay at USA. I can text my family at Philippines for free. You also have to register to Globe Roaming 24 hours before your departure just in case your relatives are unlimited in texting. With roaming, you will receive their replies to your mobile phone. I'm not sure if the reply text to chikka is 2.50pesos or 50cents. But, your text to Philippines from your mobile number costs 25pesos. Expensive, right? If you dial " *143# ", the balance inquiry is free. Registration to Chikka is free if you are in Philippines. But, if you are in abroad, it costs 25pesos just to text "JOIN" to 2814.

To roam your globe number, you just have to dial " *143# ". The registration is free. However, you need to have balance of 130pesos. Once your roaming is activated. You have to maintain 50pesos to continue the service. You will see AT&T as your network in USA. In my phone, you will see AT&T and GLOBE.


You will receive these messages once you arrived in USA:

"Enjoy Globe Roaming! To activate, reply GROAM<space>YES. If not, reply GROAM<space>NO. You must have at least P130 to activate your roaming service. Please reply within 12 hours to keep your Roaming active. Within this period, all roaming charges will apply. Thank you."

If you will text "GROAM YES", the reply will be:

"Your Roaming is now active. For more info, text GROAM INFO to  2884 or call our Globe Roaming Support Hotline at *131*6327301212#. Roaming rates apply. Once you have returned to the Philippines, please text GROAM OFF to 2884 to deactivate your roaming. Globe reserves the right to terminate your Roaming w/o liability, should it detect usage in excess of remaining load, fraud, or any other patterns of abuse. Please maintain a daily balance of at least P50 to avoid termination of your Roaming service. Thank you for roaming with Globe."
