FooSMS was down yesterday & since it was loading different site, I thought it went down forever. To confirm this, I sent a mail to FooSMS team asking reason for going down. It seems they are coming with new interface including user registration, here is their reply:

Hello Prashanth,

Thank You for Contacting FOOSMS !!

Actually our back-end team is still working with some reseller options.
You can find the same @ http://sms.foosms.com
We are planning to release the same within a weeks time.
With reference to this we changed our servers and while updating the ip
address, a mismatch happened.
And yesterday it takes little more time for the name servers to reflect.
i.e. the actual problem what we faced yesterday.

Thanks,
J.Bibin

That’s a very good news for all FooSMS users (including me). Since this is still in “Beta” it might not be fully functional. You have to wait until it gets released. By the way, you can use same old FooSMS at http://foosms.com (without WWW). I usually use FooSMS for sending any long web URL to my phone! eNjoY free SMSing!

Probably this is the most asked question in Tech Bangalore comment section, “Is there any trick for free GPRS?”. I had no answer before, but got one now. My fellow blogger Rahul Bansal, who recently became full time blogger has revealed this trick on his blog Devil’s Workshop. The trick works fine for Airtel, just install Tea Shark browser on your phone & done! You need have Airtel Live Free GPRS active on your phone. You can get details here to activate that. Actually Airtel Live free GPRS allows you to browse only Airtel Live wap site & other few affiliate wap sites like Yahoo! mobile. But it was not possible to access other sites like m.gmail.com.

Airtel might be fixing this issue soon, so enjoy free gprs until then!! More details about this is posted on Devil’s Workshop. You can get the Tea Shark browser at www.teashark.com
