SK Telecom (SKT) will hold a referral and installation event for the Chat+ (Chat Plus) PC version. The event will run for 1 month, from the 17th to the 16th of next month. It is intended to expand the Chat+ PC version, which lets the company’s users send text messages on a PC using their existing mobile phone number.
The Chat+ PC version is a PC text messaging service jointly developed by SKT and Samsung Electronics. It is available to SKT users who use Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Supported models must run One UI 6.0 or later. Sending and receiving text messages does not depend on whether the other party is subscribed to the service.
New features will be added to the Chat+ PC version. The additions are expected as early as the end of this month. The new features are “scheduled messages” and “text style.”
The “scheduled messages” feature lets users send messages at a desired time. The “text style” feature allows users to apply formatting such as bold and italics. The new features will be available on Samsung Galaxy smartphones linked with the PC version. The new feature support requirement is One UI 9.0 or later.
A referral and installation event will be promoted, with total prizes worth KRW 20 million. The event will be run in two tracks: referrals and installations.
To participate in the referral event, users share a personal, exclusive URL issued on the event page with new customers. Referral performance is recognized only when the referred customer applies for the installation event and completes installation of the PC program and mobile phone linkage. Participants with at least 15 referrals will receive different prizes depending on their referral ranking.
The first-place referral prize is 1 Galaxy Z Fold8, and the second-place prize is 2 Galaxy Watch Ultra2 units. The third-place prize is 10 Naver Pay Point mobile coupons worth KRW 100,000 each.

It added that in a survey conducted by SKT in June among users of the Chat+ PC version, about 500 people responded, and 83.7% of respondents said they were satisfied.
