Chikka's catalogue of products itself represents milestones in mobile application development. Not only
are many of them groundbreaking, these applications and systems are designed and tested in some of the
world's most competitive mobile markets, resulting in a suite of apps that are universal in terms of their utility.
Communications
Chikka Messenger
The Chikka Messenger is truly instant messaging from your phone. It unifies your mobile phone number and instant messaging IDs and checks for online buddies with just one SMS message. It receives instant messages on your mobile when you're away from your computer and sends multimedia messages from your PC to MMS-enabled mobile phones. Meanwhile, its Txt2Mail application lets you send and receive e-mail from mobile phone users. Chikka's latest versions also deliver top-up credits to mobile subscribers on selected carriers.

SMS-Collect and TxtBack
Never let a zero balance get in the way of communication. If you're a prepaid subscriber with zero airtime or SMS credit, you can initiate messaging when your recipient agrees to shoulder your message's transaction fee through the SMS-Collect application. Similarly, TxtBack lets you reply without charge to a message, when the sender subsidizes your response. These applications free you from the constraints of prepaid top-up limits and retail sources.

Commerce
Airtime Transfer

Mobile Payments
Chikka's P2P credit reloading application is a major development in mobile commerce. With airtime credits as currency, you can barter call credits for small goods and even reload an online role-playing game! In the same way, you can use your call credits to donate to various causes. The 2004 Tsunami disaster relief effort greatly benefited from this platform which enabled mobile subscribers to donate anonymously, freely and without delay to UNICEF.
