Email As SMS & Push Mail Service By Indian Telcos

My friend showed me something that made me go WTF! Is this free? And he gleemingly said, yes! E-mail on the go is something most of want. It is handy. The phone is in the hand and so when the mail comes on the phone it becomes ‘handy’. Sorry for the crappy joke.

Anyways, Mobile service providers in India have Push E-mail facilities for their customers, some give it for free, while others charge a bomb. Needless to say, the services which aren’t widely used give it for free and the ones that are famous and most commonly used charge for it. There is also a table that shows a certain hack that might work for you to get emails forwarded to your phone and get your own [email protected] email id.

My friend has the option of receiving mails only for free, he does not have pay anything at all and apparently the service was activated on his number without his knowledge, he accidentally came across it.
