Free SMS service from Google India – ” Google SMS Channel “

Google strikes again with its new SMS service known as ” THE GOOGLE SMS CHANNEL ” . Google’s message broadcasting and subscription system service is very similar to the one which is currently offered by SMS Gupshup . Google SMS channels allows its users to subscribe and get content from Google, other websites and blogs with RSS, jokes, cricket scores, news updates and many more via text messages. The service is free for both content promoters/publishers and subscribers who subscribe updates via SMS . The process is very simple. Any Indian mobile subscriber can log on to google labs and create their own SMS channel and start publishing their content for subscribers.

The Google SMS channel includes a feature of creating groups for your family, friends or team which makes communication easy. When a group is created, any updates you post in the channel will get forwarded to the particular group users.

Google also provides a feature of sending SMS to groups through the Google SMS Channel website – therefore, it is not necessary to hang on to your cell phone for making an update. Since the Google SMS Channel uses a normal mobile number, the cost incurred in sending a message is a local SMS charge. There will be a change in the charges whn you wish to configure or create a new SMS channel .

As we all know that Google supports various indian languages on their web, the same is applied here too. Sending a message in Hindi, Tamil, malayalam etc is simply possible via the ” GOOGLE SMS CHANNEL “.
