Free SMS Services available in India | All covered!

Prashanth on May 1st, 2008

I have already reviewed many SMS services on Tech Bangalore, this is the consolidated post on all available SMS services. Free SMS services are important as many of us don’t have free SMSs on our tariff & service providers doesn’t allow free SMS festival occasions. So, I am making a list of available services with small description about each of them.

Free SMS services:

Way2SMS:

Way2SMS is a free SMS service which enable you to send free SMSs to any mobile number in India from web. Just sign up & start sending SMSs. It also has group messaging service. Out of 140 characters of SMS, users are allowed to send 92 character messages. Remaining characters will be used for advertisements. Despite of web interface to send SMS, way2SMS also has wap interface. So, If you have GPRS active on your mobile phone, you can send SMSs via mobile phone also.

You Mint:

You Mint is yet another service similar to Way2SMS which allows you to send free SMSs to any mobile in India via web. It allows 80 characters of message & remaining used for advertisements. You Mint claims “We actually pay you for getting friends signed up to this service!“. You Mint pay users for referring friends to it’s network.

Conclusion:

Way2SMS stands out in lot of areas listed below:

  • Way2SMS allows 92 characters unlike 80 characters of You Mint
  • Number of SMSs per day or to a number are limited in You Mint, unlimited in Way2SMS
  • You Mint has time limitations to send SMS, free SMSs are allowed only between 8 AM to 10 PM
  • Lack of wap site

Group Messaging Services:

SMS Gup Shup:

SMS Gup Shup is the best available service to send group SMSs. You can create your own group & start sending SMSs. You can use web interface to send SMSs to group of people free of cost. You can also send SMS to your group from you mobile, send SMS to 567673434 & that gets delivered all people in your group.

Activ Mobs:

Activ Mobs is a Bangalore based group SMS service which enable you to send group messages from your mobile. The idea of Activ mobs is to send message bunch of people for the cost of one SMS. Activ Mobs don’t have any web interface to send group SMSs. This is the SMS only service with registeration & using services are via SMSs only. Activ Mobs uses karnataka local number rather than premium number which reduces the SMS sending cost.

Tagg.in:

Tagg.in is a recently entered into group SMS service. Tagg claims it’s not only group SMS system, but also a Micro Blogging platform. Tagg has pretty good interface & simple registeration process. For me, it looks like clone of SMSGupShup with no additional features.

SMS Sharing Service:

Vakow:

We don’t have any competetors in this service, Vakow rules! Vakow is a greate web service for SMSs I have seen. Vakow is to share SMSs with your friends & world. You can use either web interface to post messages or via SMSs. Users can subscribe to other users, rate SMSs posted by others…etc. You can also store personal messages which carries memories (Ex: First proposal you got from a girl/boy ;) ). Personal messages can be marked private which will not be visible to anyone else.

  11. @Amit

    should say “Vakow! rules!!!”

    I have suggestion:
    Why don’t you make SMS character limit to 160 characters. I know that 20 character you use to put ads inside messages. But if you make it 160 chars & ad-free, you will definitely stand out of others! I think you can earn enough from ads on site rather than inside SMS.

  12. Oh we would love to make it 160 chars, the problem is not ads. We put “amitu msgs:\n” before the outgoing messages, which takes up upto 20chars, max username allowed is 15chars [actually more, but we wanted a round figure :-) ].

    BTW our private store is one of the less known feature, you should check it out sometime!

  13. way2sms allow only 15 msg per day if u hv any idea abt aby website which allow numbers of sms allowed to group pls tell me my mail address is dilipmkolhe@rediffmail.com or call me at +91-9766634928

  25. Hiii Tejas,
    You need to host the web on internet which cost to you around 2000/yr.
    There is certain setup of telecommunication which liks to the various telecom service provider.
    There should be contract with them.
    There should have setup of various instruments to connect to the service provider setup which will get rovided by vendor like Huawei, Lucent, ZTe etc. cost may be around in lack rs.
    Hope you will get better information when you will discuss with vendors.
