Free, India, Messaging Service, SMS, Text Message, Website
I had promised my readers that I would post a blog about free bulk SMS.
SMS7 is an online short messaging service which lets users send free unlimited SMS. Yes, you heard me right. The SMS can be as long as 440 characters in length. Is that not enough for you? :D If not you can compose the second large text message, the service is unlimited and free.
Do you realize about the money you are charged for the service which hasn't served your message yet? If you use any of the free SMS services, you can save your pocket money (sometimes very large) and there will be no tension of pending. Some sites hold messages in their servers if the cell phone is out of reach.
