Send Free International SMS Via 160by2.com

Hyderabad-based 160by2.com, one of India’s largest free SMS service providers for the first time in the country enables its consumers send free SMS from mobile phone. This service is available to mobile phones with Internet connectivity across India and to UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines. The application has triggered 1,17,760 downloads in just a month.

The first of its kind service is open to all 160by2.com registered users in India and enables free SMS connectivity to mobiles in these countries. This service comes as one of the most interesting and useful
development in internet/communication domain for people who wish to keep in touch with their closed ones abroad, but high cost prevented them from doing so earlier.

The free-to-download mobile application brings in a new dimension to SMSing and backup as users of this service can use the mobile’s native phone book contacts while sending a message. The application can be downloaded from http://m.160by2.com/app on your mobile phone, once installed you have to register and start sending messages. The 250KB easy to download application runs on mobile phones with internet connection supported with Symbian or Java operating systems.

Another unique feature of this application is that it allows the user to use the inbox / sent messages folders at no cost. The user can also access the phone book on the mobile to send these messages. One can also save mobile phone book on 160by2.com as a back-up.

Commenting on the service Mr. Satyakalyan Yerramsetti, CEO-SMSCountry said, “Our innovative mobile application makes sending SMS hassle free. Once the application is downloaded on the mobile with internet connectivity, it enables the user to send free messages from this icon and need not log onto 160by2.com each time. We will also be launching upgraded versions of the application from time to time.’’

The company intends to extend this service shortly to rest of the Middle-East and MENA nations including Bahrain, Yemen, Qatar and Oman. With a large number of Indian expats residing in these nations.

It's a good news.This would help the techies to save their SMS costs.However,it should have been compatible with any OS than Symbian.It would be great if the service can be expanded to Americas and Asian countries.
