If Yahoo SMS Messenger was initially available to Globe and Smart subscribers, SUN Cellular also 
developed a similar service called iMessenger, where IM users can login and chat via SMS. Good thing about their service is their availability, not only to Yahoo users but to MSN, AOL and ICQ users as well! This service has been available since January 2006.
To start using the service, just type IM and send to 2746.
To login:
LOGIN YAHOO yahooid password
To start chatting:
CHAT YAHOO yahooid message
To logout:
LOGOUT
To use the service with other clients (MSN, AOL, ICQ) , read their quick start. Each LOGIN costs Php 2, and each message you send to a buddy costs Php 0.50.

lugi ako..hindi nagcoconnect
i hate it
Hello! Yes I have tried this and it really is sulit! ^_^v I love it!
Actually I think if you Register for the 1 Day Unlimited Promo, you do not pay Php2 for the login. I think it’s free. But Im not so sure kasi for me, I didnt pay any at all in logging in. :)
Gumamit din ako nito pero pag karaan ng 2 days yung sun pasa ng pasa na wala daw ako balance naka 200 and plus sila na send ng ganun kaya nainis ako at sinira ko yung Sun sim ko pero maganda naman gamitin ang pinagtatakhan ko lang bakit sinasabing wala daw ako load samantalang kakaload ko lang ng 25 pesos.. ngayon gagamit uli ako ng Sun para sa UNLI CHAT .. nakatanggap uli ako ng 60 plus na text from sun na wala daw akong load.. kaya bibili ako ng bago.. kahit ganun.. okay lang.. at least makapag chat ako.
for unli ym:
text
BUY DAY (which costs P20)
if you want an unlimited chat for a week text
WEEK ON (which costs P100)
then send to 2746
And of course, you must login first before you send this setting… ;)
such a sweet way for me to connect with my husband while i was away from my computer ;)
and one more thing…
make sure your “signature” is OFF cuz it would prevent you from signing in (that’s why you always received login failed message)
One month na akong gumagamit nito straight!! 100 a week so minsan sa gabi na lalate ng dating ang messages sa cp ko. tapos ngayon maintainance daw ng imessenger mag hintay daw ako sabi ng operator!! badtrip talaga!! Yung Bf ko sa texas.. d2 lang kami nag babad mag usap!! grabeh need ko tuloy pumunta ngayon ng cafe para mag paliwanag sa kanya at mag usap kami. hay… hello card.. wala pa ako mabilan d2 kainis.. call ko sana xa.. pero maganda toh 300 a month 100 a week. unli xchat!! sana maayos na!!
i love this service! buti na lang may ganito. ang tagal ko na rin naghahanap ng chat service na hindi na kailangan mag-download ng application or meron mga gprs charges. hetong sun imessenger, pwede sa kahit anong phone. tapos ang mura lang..kung di unli, P0.50 lang. sulit na yung unli at P20/day. and yes, wala nang login charge pag naka-unli.
i’ve been also using this one. but i was only able to use this once coz the next time i log in di na ako mka access.. and i hate.. sana ayusin na nila ito.. maganda sana kasi sulit at pwede kang mag unlimitted but the problem is di kana mka sign in ulit.. hope they’ll fix it na.
does anyone have the same problem as mine?
sun imessenger keeps changing my password. i made a yahoo id just for sun imessenger and it keeps changing my password..so i thought maybe my emial is bugged..so i made a new one.. same thing happens..so last month, i made another one..still the same. i’m so pissed!
i super love this service.. di na kailangan ng gprs. one time kasi i subscibed to a sevice like this but in another network. what i hate about it was kailangan ng gprs. pag walang gprs, di ako makakapag log in. whereas, this one sa sun need not of gprs. so okey na okey. kahit na minsan may flaws, tulad ng di ka makakapag log in agad, eh okey naman.. dala na siguro ng maintenance sa service na ito kaya nagkakaroon ng mga ganyang bagay…
overall, i love this service.. ^________^
hi to all. ive been using this for almost a month now..so far the service still runs smoothly.. no problems encounterd yet. i can receive chat msgs like a txt msg from my bf in US even tho im sleeping. i just wish Sun Cellular would make it cheaper like 10 pesos per day.. -val.
