T-Mobile UK – doesnt work, just bounces back with a ‘no address at this location’ error.

Same for Orange UK and Vodafone UK.

Pretty much all UK providers banned these about 3 years ago.

@ Umut M
That would be a perfect solution (free + paid SMS)

@dotcompals,

It would be great if you can share the latest available providers in India and their formats.

@dotcompals & @James,
Thanks very mcuch for the update. We’ll be checking the providers you mentioned.

@alra,
I see your point with non-working SMS providers. On the other hand, I believe we’ll be able to fix the list soon with the help of readers/users and this seems to be the only way to provide free SMS messages.

However, we can add a paid SMS alert option that uses a reliable gateway and users can decide to choose the one they prefer.

Looks similar to this one: http://bit.ly/1XnUwI
but as other has commented many of these service are no longer available either due to change of ownership or simply because the service was mis-used. Only way to make sure is to use a real SMS account and I do give full credit to the work Uptime is doing and the service they provide but using a list like this is just not pro enough in my view it takes a piece of your trustworthiness

This is a pretty good idea but I tested the Vodafone & O2 ones for the UK about 30 mins ago and neither have come through yet.

the data for India is not the latest and almost everyone listed under india does not do business now. for example BPL Mobile, hutch, orange etc.

Interesting, I was just looking at this for mobile web apps,

One thing I discovered is that this service, email to sms is not always free for your users (with fido you need to pay to have it)

Also, I do not get the message directly, I have to type read in the sms to get the real sms message which is clunky to say the least…
