SMS is good but its too difficult to type. Not even the iPhone’s touch screen makes it easier. I really don’t spend much time sending SMS’s from my mobile phone. But still SMS is the best way of communicating something quick and fast. In pursuit of sending SMS in a better way, I found a very useful hack. You can send an SMS from email How does it work? Take the number to which you want to send an SMS and turn it into a email address using the services provider’s gateway. For example, You want to send an SMS to 9845012345 in Karnataka. Send an email to : 9845012345@airtelkk.com. You can replace the number with any number of your choice. This method works for Airtel in Karnataka only. For sending SMS’s to other service providers in other states you might have to hack your way to find the gateway. I found an list of possible gateway’s for the service providers and states. This is not a comprehensive list. I have not tried anything except Karnataka and AP. If any of the things does not work below, I cannot help it. Please add any gateway’s you know of in the comments section. Replace the number preceding the @ symbol with your desired number.
Nice hack : You can set your gmail to forward it to your phone number (ex : fwd to 9845011111@airtelkk.com) and receive the email’s via SMS.
