Gmail SMS Lets You Send & Receive Mails As SMS In Ghana, Nigeria & Kenya

If you are going to receive an important email, but you are not near your computer and your smartphone is not internet-enabled, what do you do? To solve this issue, Google has brought a new feature called 'Gmail SMS' in Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya. Users in these countries don't need to have WiFi or 3G to send or receive emails.  Additionally, one can control the emails received by replying with commands such as MORE, PAUSE and RESUME.

To activate this service, you have to register your phone on Gmail. In Account settings, click Open SMS settings in the "Phone and SMS" section and add your phone number. Then, verify your phone number by entering the verification code that Google sends as SMS to your phone.

Users will be glad to know that receiving Gmail SMS is completely free of charge. Of course, standard SMS rates will apply when replying to messages, creating new messages and sending Gmail SMS commands from your phone. That said, now you can't give excuses about bad internet connectivity for not replying to emails. Anyone here trying it out right now?
