This is really cool. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=140366 * Initially, you're granted a quota of fifty messages. * Every time you send a message, your quota decreases by one. * Every time you receive an SMS message in Chat (for example when a phone user replies to one of your messages) your quota increases by five, up to a maximum of 50. If your quota goes down to zero at any point, it will increase back up to one 24 hours later. So, you won't ever be locked out of the system. "Buying" additional messages Keep in mind that if you'd like a higher message quota, you can always send an SMS to your own phone, and then reply to that message multiple times. Every time you send a reply message, your quota is increased by five. Effectively, you're buying more messages by paying your phone company for these outgoing messages... Kerich.

Safaricom vs Zain on all arenas...am I reading too much into it?

I welcome this new feature as much as the next guy. But isn't anyone worried by the amount of information google has on the world? Your search results+Your emails+Your text messages+Your GPS Locations+You browsing history+Your Calls ... and the list goes on. Do you trust Google? /James On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 09:23, Haggai Nyang <haggai.nyang@gmail.com> wrote:

For Google, your data is there mining field. I don't see a problem in it unless you have something to hide. Then again don't give them data that you find valuable and private. After all no-one forced anyone to sign up to Gmail. On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 10:18 AM, Haggai Nyang <haggai.nyang@gmail.com>wrote:

they have a link to a page that informs you how to use the service, if you scroll to the bottom you will find this note :-) Note: Sending and receiving a message from Gmail to any phone is free. When replying with an SMS from phone to Gmail, you will be charged a regular SMS rate by your mobile provider. Gmail SMS is currently available in Kenya with Safaricom. hope it has answered your question On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 9:26 AM, Solomon Mburu Kamau <solo.mburu@gmail.com>wrote:
