Free SMS India

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Can you ever Send Free Sms online in India ?

A few years back. It was very easy to find a website to send free sms to mobile phone numbers in India.

Don’t give up.

We’ll tell you tat no one can give you sms for free as the operators charge for messages sent.

Most operators dont offer unlimited SMS as before.

The reason ?? Operators are finding out the users are avoiding calls due to free sms.

so they are deciding to charge for sms or put a daily limit on the no of free smses

Back to business

Some sites who have figured out a way to send free sms

Atrochatro

this website http://www.atrochatro.com/ is full of ads every where .. they just want to make sure they make more money than what it takes to send an sms.

heres what they claim

* Upto 4 FREE SMS Allowed daily
* CDMA Networks also supported in FREE SMS
* 150 Character SMS to Reliance (CDMA)
* 160 Character SMS to All GSM
* Service available to users Worldwide
* All GSM Networks including BSNL supported
* All CDMA Networks incl. Reliance supported

they place small ads in the free sms you send so that the user is tempted to respond to the ad after seeing your message. Cool concept

mklix.com
www.mklix.com offers a sms based social networking and group messaging features for free. they are also ad supported.

please share any other sites you know . we will update the list

Are you looking to buy the iPhone in India ?

Sadly the phone has not yet been launched officially in India.

Its expected to be launched here in 2008.

But if you are willing to take the risk you can get your hands on a unlocked version of the apple phone if you are willing to spend 25-30 thousand rupees
