Most of you might have heard about
Google Voice which provides great free VOIP service within USA. However,
Google Voice is not free for people outside USA. When you try to visit
Google Voice home page from anywhere but USA, it says that Google Voice
is not available in your country. Today, we bring you a hack that will
let you use Google Voice to send and receive free SMS anywhere in the
world.
Requirements:
- A smart Phone (iPhone, Blackberry or other smart phones)
- Internet connection
- Two Google Voice Accounts
Steps
If you have a smart phone you can download the google voice application
for it. If Google does not have an application for your device you can
still use web version which you can access from your phone’s web
browser.
You will need a Google voice Account . If you are outside USA you can use a proxy such as Click Here
to create Google Voice account. Remember that you will need one account
for each person that you want to send (or receive) SMS to (from).
Google Voice comes with a USA phone number that you have the option to
choose from host of numbers.
Once you have the accounts set up you can login to your phone using
this information. The good thing is that this application works on GPRS
too. Moreover, you can use GPRS without the special data plan for
iPhone.
After you have logged into your application successfully, you can
send SMS to any number in USA and Canada. Since all your friends now
have a Google Voice Number you can sms them and they can reply back on
your Google voice number. Your friends or partners need not be within
the same country. They can be anywhere in the world. This is totally free SMS service for you.....
Enjoy !!
