Google has extended its free SMS chat service to India, whereby users can send text messages to mobile phones via Gmail Chat.
"You can send SMS messages to your contacts' mobile phones using Gmail Chat ... Google does not charge for using this service," according to information available with Google's website.
The SMS service is available in India and 51 other countries in Asia, Africa and North America.
The feature was activated for Indian users on October 10 and is available for regular Gmail users as well as those on Google Apps.
As per Google's website, this feature is available on all the mobile operators in the country.
The company said in order to send an SMS, users would have to add phone number to their contact list.
Responses to the SMSs would appear as replies in Gmail Chat and conversations will be stored in users' Chat history, like regular chats.
Google initially provides free SMS credit of 50 messages for each user. For every message sent, users' credit woud decrease by one. However, this credit would increase by five every time a user responds to the text message by sending a return message.
In case, the SMS credit limit slashes down to zero, one credit would increase automatically after 24 hours.
Google said users can also 'buy' SMS credit in case of shortage by sending a text message to their own phone and then by replying to that message.
The internet firm has also provided the facilities for those users do not wish to receive any messages on SMS from any Gmail user.
The service starts with 50 SMS credits for each user, every sent SMS costing one credit. Every reply received adds on 5 credits subject to the maximum level being 50 SMS at any given time. There is no official statement from Google on the launch of this service, however the service has gone live this evening in the chat windows of many users.
Google is rolling out the service in partnership with cellular operators, which means they would share revenue with Google out of SMSes users on their network send. It specifies a way to buy more SMS credits. "You can always send an SMS to your own phone, and then reply to that message multiple times. Every time you send a reply message, your SMS credit is increased by five. Effectively, you're buying more messages by paying your phone company for these outgoing messages," it writes on its chat help portal.
The service currently supports eight cellular operators including Aircel, Idea, Loop Mobile, MTS, Reliance, Tata DoCoMo, Tata Indicom and some circles of Vodafone. BSNL, MTNL and Airtel are not supported yet.
The SMSes sent from Gmail chat are delivered to mobile phones while replies from the mobile phone come into the chat window. For the mobile phone user, the reply is charged at local SMS rate as per her/his normal billing plan.
If no replies are received to any of the 50 SMSes sent and the credit balance come down to zero, Google says, "...it will increase back up to one 24 hours later. So, you won't ever be locked out of the system."
