Google has launched a text message based version of its email service in Nigeria and two other Africa Countries - Ghana and Kenya.
The search giant said "the service is free", but users will have to pay their service provider's SMS charges. The Gmail SMS service does not require internet access to work, even the most basic phones with just voice and SMS capability can use this service.
Emails on this service are received as SMS and sent as same."Gmail SMS automatically forwards your emails as SMS text messages to
your phone and you can respond by replying directly to the SMS.You can control the emails received by replying with commands such as MORE, PAUSE and RESUME."Additionally, compose a new email as an SMS and send to any
email address recipient - who will find your message in the right email
conversation thread!"
