SMS Text Messaging From Gmail
Some days back Gmail has added a feature that will allows Gmail users to send free text messages from Gmail. From Today Gmail users turn on text messaging for chat. Just click on Settings, and go to the Labs tab. Scroll down until you see “Text Messaging (SMS) in Chat” and select Enable and Save Changes. Currently Sending free SMS from Gmail to mobile numbers is only limited to US Mobile numbers.
How to Send Free SMS From Gmail chat
- Just start typing Mobile phone number or into the search box in the chat window on the left, then select “Send SMS.” You can also select the contact you want to SMS first and then add their phone number.
- Once you give us a name for that phone number, you’ll be able to start chatting.
Gmail also saves the Mobile numbers that Gmail users using to sending free Text messages from Gmail. So next time Gmail users has to only type the name in the chat box and select send SMS.
Mobile users will receive SMS text message from number with area code 406. Mobile phone users can reply to Gmail SMS text messages as they reply to any other text message. The reply gets routed back to our Gmail servers and shows up in your friend’s Gmail chat window. Each of your friends’ messages will come from a different 406 number so you can reply to any message and it will get back to the right person. Messages from the same person will always come from the same number, so you can even bookmark it in your phone.
Mobile phone users can block Gmail SMS Messages by just replying with BLOCK and If you don’t want to get texts from anybody using Gmail, reply with the word STOP and we’ll leave you alone.
Note: All these text messages count as part of your regular mobile messaging plan and might incur fees. So unless you know your friends have unlimited text message plans, please be sensitive to their phone bills.
