http://www.crestock.com/images/470000-479999/479173-xs.jpg
These days, biggies such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter, etc are opening up the gateways for the users to be as mobile as you can. Let it be through WAP or SMS. Yes, its darn true!
Facebook has opened its way to text your status updates on your profiles and so has Twitter.

Now you'd think I'm too late to tell you that and it'd be anyhow a high-cost service. My answer would be a big NO! Since I don't have to really explain how its gonna work for you guys as its easily available on the portals' dedicated pages for the same, I would tell you how is free and what all can be done by these services.

Takin' up facebook first. Facebook (the best social network - for now) lets you update your statuses, add a friend, privately message a friend, post something on their wall and so on. You can do this by registering your mobile number. You can look the page up for commands too or just send "HELP" or "TIPS" to 9232232665 (92FACEBOOK).

Next comes Google, the best search engine ever. They encroached their service of Googling upto SMSes now. If you wish to look up for the local business numbers, movie timings, horoscope or even the Dictionary, just send your query to Google's number 9-77-33-00000 . Wish to have a demo or the list of commands, please visit the page.

Now Twitter, the 140 Character mania spreading like a wildfire. Its only service is to share "what's happening" with its users, which people love to do that. In India, only Bharti AirtelSMS users can use that service via . Thanks to Gagan because of whom I came across the news that we can use the service while being the subscriber of the rest of the mobile carriers. SMSTweet.in offers the you tweet via text easily. No specific jargonated commands. Visit the page to know more.

Question's still unanswered - How the hell is it FREE?
A li'l trick and your the master. After visiting the respective pages you'll come to know that all the numbers of the services are National Numbers and would charge you Re.1 per SMS. The numbers are 10-digit mobile numbers and with the NOMINAL charges.

Remember, these days local and national SMSes are coming in a pack for some cost. Just like Vodafone gives FREE UNLIMITED SMS (max 20,000 sms) at Rs. 89 (in Delhi) and Aircel gives it for Rs.79. Likewise, Reliance GSM offers 15,000 msgs for Rs.25 only.

Co relate and realize that if you use the above services then nothing out of your balance would get deducted. Yes, NOTHING AT ALL. This makes it free for those who use these SMS Packs.
Any query still left unanswered?
