Smart FVP for Data Services Michele Curran, Skype Head of Global Market Development Judd Harcombe, Smart Innovation and Product Development Head Mellissa Limcaoco and Smart EVP and Head of Wireless Consumer Business Charles Lim unveil the newest and coolest way to video-chat with friends through Skype Qik, which will be FREE for all Smart subscribers nationwide for the next three months
Skype Qik App is the new mobile messenger app from Skype which allows users to quickly capture memorable moments in video as they happen, and immediately share them with friends through one-touch recording and instant sharing.
At the launch held at URBN Bar and Kitchen in BGC, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), the country’s undisputed leader in mobile, announced an exclusive partnership with video messaging service Skype, to provide its subscribers the coolest new way to communicate with their friends on their mobile phones through the Skype Qik app.

For three months from launch, all Smart subscribers in the Philippines can use the Skype Qik Android or iOS apps to send fun and engaging video messages to their friends without incurring additional data charges on their prepaid or postpaid accounts.
Through “Qik Fliks,” users can pre-record up to 12 short videos for when they want to respond fast to a video message—like a personal video equivalent of an emoji icon.
Videos shared through Skype Qik will be stored in separate threads for each individual or group, and each video sent can be removed from one device and deleted across the devices of the group’s members. Once a message is two weeks old and everyone has forgotten about it, it automatically disappears.
To get started, users simply have to download the Skype Qik app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. For more information on Smart’s Skype Qik offers, visit http://smart.com.ph/skypeqik.
