Why free #Gmail SMS is a life saver. Read on

Yes, it's finally here. Free SMS in Gmail. That too practically unlimited. We are a nation with not much free stuff around. For example, services like Magazines, Google Music (Works with a hack), Google voice. We have been waiting to get hands on these extremely useful services since day one. By we, I mean the geeks. Sadly, regular people are happy with what they have. Oh I'm deviating off the topic. Anyways Free SMS can be helpful. How?

* If you're an Android user, you are well aware that all your contacts are synced on Gmail. So in case you're in an emergency with only an internet access, all you need to do is log into gmail and find the contact (in the chat box) and send an SMS.

Good? Wait, it gets better.

* Gmail SMS, is practically unlimited. That means, you start off with 50 Credits/SMS. Once you send an SMS, you'll lose 1 credit and the credit is retrieved back as soon as that person reply. This is a brilliant way to stop sms spamming. Also the receiver of the sms can send STOP to your messages and hence block the sender.

Hope you got an idea of how it works.
Good day.
