Way2SMS has come long way from its preliminary old. Their UI resembles the AJAX technology and has its similarities with Gmail UI. As in 160by2, one will get the 'A message from Recipient's Name' instead of 'A message from WAY2SMS.COM' which is common for all the free web sms websites.
It provides with 110 characters as against 90 of 160by2.com and Indyarocks.com
One can set a mail alerts for Gmail and Yahoo.

I wish Google can do this on its own.
ReplyDeleteI trust Google more than upstart third-party-companies, [I don't consider Google as third party, it's our own :) :) ] particularly since the service is very much within Google's own capability and one fine morning it might launch this as part of its convergence or integration.
In the meanwhile, the third party websites would have gathered thousands of mobile phone numbers, sell them to god knows who and vanish into thin air and take some other name and start all over again.
I know I am being paranoid about giving away mobile numbers to sites like these, but I suffer even because of BSNL's own (apparently) service messages which, unfortunately, are not opt-in. They are not even opt-out, there is no way you can tell them don't send. As if they would listen.
