Google india labs has introduced google sms channesls just now.A sms channel is like google groups where we have subscribers,and we recieve emails from the group.Just like this the email in the above concept is replaced by the SMS.The wonderful thing in the above concept is the sms's are sent freely for the subscribers.I the user registration is very simple u have to have a google account just like gmail or other thing.You have to give a username for the sms channel and enter your phone number.You will recieve a confrimation code from the google you have to enter the confirmation code to verify your phone number .After registration is over you can create very easily the google channels(groups) just like google groups or you can subscribe to already registered groups.
Currently it supports English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada.Though there are a lot of alternatives for this like sms gupshup and others a product from google is worth takin a look(my opinion).
