By using the Kakao Talk communication application, or comm app, subscribers, even without WiFi access and data load, will be able to send free messages and make free calls using their smartphones.
“Now ABS-CBNmobile subscribers can use Kakao Talk to chat as much as they want and make a voice call and talk all they want to anyone, anywhere in the world,” said ABS-CBN Convergence Inc. president Carlo Katigbak.
“And it will be completely free. All you need to do is make sure that the people you communicate with also downloaded the Kakao Talk app. And if they’re also using ABS-CBNmobile they will also get to use it for free,” he added.
Nandy Villar, head of marketing, ABS-CBNmobile, said that there’s nothing better than unlimited and free.
“Most people wait until they have access to WiFi when they use message apps like KakaoTalk so they can save on mobile internet load. By giving FREE KakaoTalk to all ABS-CBNmobile subscribers, they don’t have to wait until they are in a WiFi zone in order to use KakaoTalk call and text services because it is absolutely free even on the cellular network. There is no load or promo registration needed. This special promo is good until October 7, 2014. That’s one great reason to try the new ABS-CBNmobile Prepaid SIM,” he said.
There is also the fun part of using Kakao Talk that is attractive to users.
“With Kakao Talk, it’s more fun chatting using emoticons and stickers. We can keep in touch with Kapamilyas around the world. Tuluy-tuloy ang kwentuhan. And just like in our ad, it’s non-stop ‘kulitan’,” said Villar.
Jean Lee, country manager of Kakao Philippines, said he is confident that ABS-CBNmobile subscribers will love the experience of using Kakao Talk.
“We believe this will be a fantastic opportunity for them to experience the free, fast and fun mobile experience that KakaoTalk is well-known for,” he said.
Aside from calling and chatting, Kakao Talk can also be used to send photos, videos, and voice messages.
“We have been a pioneer in enabling customers to watch ABS-CBN on their phones, and in allowing them to stay in touch with their favorite stars,” said Katigbak. “We are happy to again offer them this pioneering free communication platform, and we promise that our subscribers could continue to have many more exciting things to look forward to.”
