Top five things you can do with the upgraded heyÜ

MANILA, Philippines - PLDT HOME's heyÜ, an all-in-one mobile communication application, has recently rolled out a new set of fun features as it sets out to become the digitally active Filipino family's favorite application.

Now packed with 16 features, heyÜ makes it easier and more fun to connect with family and friends. heyÜ is, in a nutshell, a virtual landline for any Android device, complete with VOIP features and so much more.

PLDT vice president and head of HOME voice solutions Patrick Tang noted that heyÜ is designed to “complement the digitally active Filipino family's dynamic lifestyle.” He said, “We’ve come up with new features to bring users free and unlimited voice and video calls, affordable call rates to Smart, Talk 'N Text, and Sun subscribers, plus the lowest rates for IDD calls.”

The upgraded hey Ü also now has a sticker market with stickers that’ll liven up any conversation. “Users can now personalize their messages with unique stickers and create chat groups for easier communication. All they need to stay connected is now in heyÜ,” Tang added.

With its new line-up of features, heyÜ eliminates the need for multiple mobile communication apps. Here are just some of the perks you can enjoy with the upgraded heyÜ.

1. Take advantage of free and unlimited heyÜ to heyÜ calls and more.

The upgraded heyÜ offers the best mobile, local and international call rates to subscribers. They can make free and unlimited calls to and from other heyÜ subscribers, and to all PLDT landlines nationwide. Low call rates at P5 per minute to Smart, Talk 'N Text, and Sun subscribers are also on offer, plus P1.50 per minute IDD calls to the US, Canada, and Hawaii.

2. Make conversations more fun and interactive with heyÜ's free and unlimited video calls.

Keeping in touch with family and friends is now made more interactive with the new, free, and unlimited heyÜ video call feature. It’s the perfect option when voice calls are just not enough. See your loved ones and friends onscreen wherever they may be, and feel closer by using heyÜ.

3. Personalize your messages with the funniest and quirkiest stickers and emojis.

Users can choose and download from the wide sticker folio to personalize their messages and capture their every mood. Both classic stickers and novel choices are available for download anytime. There’s no room for miscommunication when you have the exact emojis and stickers to express yourself.

4. Keep tabs on everyone via heyÜ’s group chat.

With group chat on heyÜ, it’s now easier to stay in the loop, whether it’s with family, friends or colleagues. Users can create their own chat rooms for faster delivery of updates or funny stories. Multimedia attachments like audio, video, photo, and location can be added, too, so users can better share moments with each other. 

5. Have a secret to share? heyÜ offers secret messaging just for that.

Use the secret messaging feature for more exclusive conversations. "Typing," "Delivered," and "Read" indicators are available to make chatting more convenient and instantaneous.
