Get Gmail email as sms in your cellphone for free only for India.

 

Google labs launched SMS Channel in India.We can get sms alerts of any channel by this tool of google.We can do a tweak and couple the RSS feed of gmail and sms channel and get the brief contents of email alerted to your cellphone free of cost where ever you are.Below are the steps to do it.

1.Gmail RSS link will be like this :

:@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom">https://<username>:<password>@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom

2.But this format is dangerous as it exposes your email id and password.To overcome this create an account in  www.feedburner.com and burn you RSS feed.Then you can create a URL as follows

http://feeds.feedburner.com/mygmailinbox

3.Now create an account in google sms channel and create a channel with the following credentials - tick “By invitation only” in “Who can subscribe” Section.

4.Just put this RSS link into your SMS channel.Name the channel as MYGMAILCHANNEL for easy recognition.

Now you will start receiving alerts in your mobile for gmail emails that you get daily.

This service is available only in India as Google SMS channel service is currently only for India.Indian cellphone carriers like Airtel,Vodafone, Idea etc supports Google SMS channel .

Important Note

The only drawback of this trick is that if any gets your RSS feed link ie:http://feeds.feedburner.com/mygmailinbox , they can read your emails as feeds with a feed reader or in feed supported browser.
