Google (Gmail) has been busy with free SMS feature for a while now. Google claims to have resolved all bottlenecks and now this service is all cheese atleast within United States.
So, from here on you can send free SMS from chat window within Gmail anywhere in US. To get started, login into Gmail and click on settings at the top part of the screen. Then click on ‘labs’ tab and scroll down to check for ‘Text Messaging (SMS) in chat’. Select enable and click on save changes.
Now click on any live chat contacts to popout the chat window. Then click on ‘options’ button and select send SMS option. Then enter the phone number and click on save button. Then? – well, start enjoying free SMS flow from your Gmail. Test it out and see how it goes – did Google get it correct this time?
Good
