SKT Launches Recommendation and Installation Event for 'Chat+ PC Version'

Published2026.09.17 09:25

83.7% User Satisfaction, Scheduled Messages and Text Style Features Planned for Late This Month

SKT and Samsung Electronics' jointly developed PC text messaging service 'Chat+ (Chat Plus) PC Version' will operate a prize event for one month to expand its user base. New features including scheduled messages are also planned to be added by the end of this month.

SKT announced on the 17th that it will conduct a Chat+ PC Version recommendation and installation event from the 17th through October 16.

A total of 20 million won worth of prizes will be provided, consisting of two events: a recommendation event and an installation event.

Chat+ PC Version is a service that allows SKT customers using Samsung Galaxy smartphones supporting One UI 6.0 or higher to send and receive text messages on PC using their existing phone numbers.

It can be used regardless of whether the recipient has subscribed to the service.

In a survey conducted in June targeting approximately 500 users, 83.7% of respondents answered they were satisfied with the service, and 82.9% responded they use it five or more days per week on average.

Key convenience factors cited by respondents were △text writing via keyboard △message synchronization with smartphone △ability to work on other PC tasks simultaneously.

The recommendation event is conducted by sharing a personal exclusive URL issued on the event page with new users.

When new users complete PC program installation and smartphone synchronization, it is recognized as a recommendation achievement.

Customers who recommend 15 or more people will receive prizes according to achievement ranking: △Galaxy Z Fold8 (1 person) △Galaxy Watch Ultra2 (2 people) △Naver Pay Points Mobile Coupon 100,000 won (10 people).

Through a lottery method: △Olive Young Mobile Gift Certificate 50,000 won for 7 or more recommendations (50 people) △GS25 Mobile Gift Certificate 10,000 won for 3 or more recommendations (100 people) △Mega MGC Coffee Mobile Amount Certificate 2,000 won for 1 or more recommendations (1,000 people) will be provided.

For the installation event, customers using Chat+ PC Version for the first time become eligible for the lottery after completing program installation and smartphone synchronization, and will receive prizes including △Galaxy Book6 16-inch (1 person) △Shinsegae Department Store Gift Certificate 500,000 won (2 people) △Olive Young Mobile Gift Certificate 50,000 won (30 people) △GS25 Mobile Gift Certificate 5,000 won (200 people).

Duplicate winners are possible if participants meet the conditions for both events respectively.

By the end of this month, 'scheduled messages' and 'text style' features supporting bold and italic formatting are scheduled to be added.

The features can be used when the One UI of the synchronized Galaxy smartphone is 9.0 or higher.

Kim Ji-hyung, Head of Digital Platform Business at SKT, stated, "Chat+ PC Version is a service that naturally extends the familiar text messaging experience to PC," and added, "We will continue to strengthen convenience and value that customers can experience in their daily lives."
