All Gmail users can now send FREE SMS to your Mobitel user contacts through your Gmail chat window!
To use this feature all what a Gmail user has to do is,
Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 |
Log into your Gmail account. In the Send SMS box, enter the Mobitel number of the person you want to contact. | In the dialog box, enter Contact name of the SMS recipient. Then, click Save. | Type the message in the chat window and hit Enter. |
The message will then be sent to the Mobitel number as a SMS sent from the mail address of the Gmail user. If the Mobitel user replies, the text message response will appear as a reply in Chat and the conversations will be stored in the Gmail user’s Chat history just like regular chats!
Reply SMS will be charged at just 10cents (+ tax) for the Mobitel user.
If you are a first time Gmail chat user, you would need to enable a Chat application to enjoy this feature.
To do this, follow these steps:
Login to Gmail account -> Mail settings -> click on the “Labs” tab -> enable “SMS (Text messaging) in Chat” and “SMS in Chat gadget” -> Save
I checked already, its working.
