velma 6 Report post Posted February 14, 2013 Hello People,I am opening this topic on behalf of a member Sutirtha who asked "How do you get free email alerts via sms" . Anyone have any ideas?I am aware of this being possible through way2sms but has anyone actually used it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tritesh 1 Report post Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Velma,I am afraid of posting the way. Because those are not providing any official API, so, we have only one method to create our own API using Curl Library. And ofcourse I searched a lot about free sms api but not find anyone.And in concern with Way2sms, currently I am using this feature by forwarding gmail mails to Way2sms but not whole inbox. I also tested it with Yahoo mail as well. Edited February 14, 2013 by agyat (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tritesh 1 Report post Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) On Googling (by making search on google) more about how to get "Email alert through SMS" today I find another site that is site2sms. Like way2sms, site2sms also allowed user to send free SMS. Here are the steps for how to configure free Email Alert on site2sms. Steps:[/font] First go to http://www.site2sms.com/ Register at site2sms.com with your mobile number. after register ,go to e-mail alert tab in that site make your days and time to get sms alert now, go to your gmail account go to setting--> email setting-->forwarding and pop-up forwarding your email to your site2sms address like this and verify your account by code. Done now get all new e-mails alerts in your phone. But unfortunately these both sites for Indian users only. Hope in next post I will be able to have solution for international users.

rpgsearcherz 5 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 Alright, to do this, you will want to forward the message to a specific email address. This email will then be what notifies your phone that you got a message. This site (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/email-to-sms/) has a lot of different ones on it, where you put your email in the format number@service.com, and it will send the SMS to you.This should help get you started!
