How to send free SMS from Gmail

 

There are lots of websites available on the internet like way2sms, 160by2, anonymous sms sites and many more through which you can send free SMS. Now Google has also launched a new service to Send SMS from Gmail account. This service is currently not available in India as well as some other countries.
SMS will be sent from your Gmail Chat itself. You just have to enter the mobile number of your friend to send free SMS. If your friend replies back to your message then he has to pay normal SMS charges and the message will be received in your chat . This service limits your SMS length to maximum of 50 characters and you can send only 50 SMS from your account in a day. But the amazing thing of this service is, if your friend reply back to your message then you will get 5 extra SMS but this cannot exceed 50.
