[Ajay Kumar]

Hi Guys,
After a series of conversations with their tech team, it seems finally
we have the number and its working. I am fixing some minor glitches and
talking to their tech team.
Consider this an early announcement before going public with this.

The number is a dedicated SMS only number sponsored to us by One97
communications, (Thanks @nixxin for referring)

Our number is 7388 921 921
More soon!

Confirming the usual definition of 'premium' SMS number -- will users be charged anything more than a normal SMS cost for sending updates?

Best,
Manish

Error on my part - in the subject line - replace "Premium" with "Dedicated" :)

Its not a premium number. Users will be charged normal SMS rates depending on their location(STD/Local). I think this is a UP(East) Airtel number.

After a series of conversations on email, which is still on. We have another number due to some technical glitches from the Operator end.

Also I tested both incoming and outgoing SMS work using the APIs which need some customization.

The new number now is 9717 403 111. 

Hopefully by the time we go public there are no other problems from operators or otherwise and the launch is smooth.

I will work on it this week and hopefully we can go public by the end of this week.

I am also working on a proposal/project plan for the project and if any one is interested in helping out or collaborating on the project on a longer run, please get in touch with me so that I can share the document.
