Skype Qik allows users to take videos using one-touch recording that they can then immediately share with their friends.
“From simple SMS messaging to mobile chat apps, the way Filipinos communicate has evolved over the years. Video has become part of the vocabulary of mobile phone users, so video messaging is just the next logical step in this evolution,” said Charles A. Lim, EVP and Wireless Consumer Division Head at Smart. “Smart, in partnership with Skype Qik, paves the way toward a new way of communicating through video messaging.”
Using “Qik Fliks” users can pre-record up to 12 short videos that they can use to respond to messages from individual friends or user-created groups, similar to using emoji or smileys. The videos can be removed from one device and deleted across the devices of all members in a group. Messages are automatically deleted after two weeks.
For the next three months, Skype Qik will be free for use without additional data charges for Smart subscribers. Users can find more information at http://smart.com.ph/skypeqik. — Bea Montenegro/TJD, GMA News
