Google SMS Channels: Send SMS Text Messages to your Group for Free

[ThinkFree]

Getting each update for Labnol/Techblog twice, but haven't received even one for other channels that I subscribed(News from Delhi, daily quotes etc)

 

[red_devil]

Okk...i've subscribed to a few more channels...

wisdom quotes,
poor joke of the day
EPLScoreUpdate
Simply F1

and

K2SMSBANK <---> this thing has been flooding with msgs...so those of you who want to chk out if everything is working well should subscribe to it...i've got approx 10 msgs since yesterday

 

[ThinkFree]

^^But I have limited max sms per day to 10

 

[red_devil]

^^ change the limit {if it doesn't disturb u } and once you're sure you are getting updates as and when they are posted, un-subscribe from the channel.

 

[ThinkFree]

^^What disturbs me is getting the exact copy of the message I have already received 5-6minutes ago.
The service seems to be in testing phase at present, and is not working absolutely fine.

 

[red_devil]

^^ seems strange. I've never got any duplicate message from the time i signed up !!

 

[Ramakrishnan]

I am yet to receive any message after my instantaneous join. Hope for the best. Highly fascinating.

I subscribed to this service and man do they keep sending messages,..........it keeps coming........people i am going to lose half my battery on the SMS alert tone. lol.

 

[Zangetsu]

Me 2 subscribed....now msgs will come as spams...hahaha

 

[apoorva84]

i unsubscribed...was getting bugged by all those messages..

 

[ThinkFree]

^^You were getting bugged, I am disappointed as I am not getting any update from some subscribed channels.

 

[amritpal2489]

subscribed..... and working great for me...

 

[Cool Joe]

Some of the channels don't send me any message....

 

[ThinkFree]

^^Expect it as it's testing phase for the service.

 

[mastermunj]

they sure would be facing problems with keeping the cost of sms sending low and more over, to have a parallel mechanism for sending so many sms.. Might be they are trying different sms protocols.

But whatever it is, Google Rocks!!!

 

[pc_game_lover2004]

great subscribed to 6 groups

 

[mavihs]

i'll try it out in d morning when i get-up!!!

thinking 2 make a group for Delhi Tech meets which will be about all d upcaoming meets in delhi!!!

 

[Cool Joe]

So far I'm only getting messages from joke of the day and google tech news. And yesterday, google tech news sent me some non- tech news
This is crazy.

There's competition for smsgupshup!

Thanks boss . I think difference is that gupshup allows post by group owner only.
Google sms subscriber can post to channels if allowed by the owner.
Am i correct ?

 

[iChaitanya]

^^ Yes, you got it right.

Moreover, the smsgupshup site is buggy. Why don't these smsgupshup people keep the site design simple like Google?

Anyway, forget it!
