The first mobile “all-in-one” messaging in the Philippines was launched last month by Smart Communications. The service dubbed as Uzzap, which is talk in English, is flat-rate unlimited messaging service.

Uzzap is actually an application, which is IP-based, which you can download to your mobile phone and allows you to merge several messaging services like SMS, Instant Messaging (IM) or YM, and email. And one good feature of the service that I do like is the forwarding feature. This means that if the application if off, messages sent to the user will still be received either in the SMS inbox or in an email address predefined by the user.

The application is compatible with handsets running Symbian or high-end Java applications. It can be downloaded and used for free using any PC with internet connectivity. Sorry but its not yet compatible with Mac. Text UZZAP to 7272 for download instructions.

The Uzzap service is available to Philippine subscribers only.
