MyKuya is HERE! (formerly Hey Kuya!)

I signed up for their early beta testers, and it’s finally out! 🙂 Got this email from MyKuya!

In our first days of operations, MyKuya will initally be best experienced in BGC & Makati area but you still can find help across Metro Manila. We are working non-stop to cover Metro Manila as fast as possible. We are also contantly training and helping our partners serve you better. Then we will spend our efforts to make sure this coverage is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Our mission with MyKuya is clear: To be a mobile app that each and every Filipino benefits from. We want to create 1 million job opportunities for the people by the people. I am incredibly proud in what our team at Machine Ventures has created and we believe that success will not be for us to steer alone. We are calling on all those who believe in what we are advocating and want to get involved to reach out! Why we built it read here!

Here are some initial comments:

It’s not free anymore! 🙁 you can link your credit card for the payments and I don’t see any other payment options for now.
It’s not SMS based anymore
There is now ATE, I wonder what’s the difference
