    • Dear Pramod, what do you want to make an SMS Channel about?? If you have no website or RSS to promote, you can just make a simple SMS Channel in which You keep sending the SMSs yourself regularly. That way, the SMS Channel becomes your personal Mini-Blog. That ‘s actually quite cool, all you have to do is promote it properly as otherwise no one will join it… You can simple send the Link of the SMS Channel to all your friends and they’ll join it… Pure and Simple! Got any more doubt??

  1. if i create my own sms channel then.. how many people can get it at a time????

    how many sms can i send in a day???? plzz mail me the answer.. 🙂

    • Hey,

      As far as I know, you can send a maximum of 999 messages per day and there’s no limit to the number of people who can join your group. There are channels out there with thousands of members!

      Enjoy!

  2. Hi,

    Is this an ad free version?
    Coz i was testing it out and one of the messages was appended with an ad. It will be great if you could confirm this.
    Also, the system did not allow me to send more than 4 sms saying “too many posts”.
    Any idea?

    • Dear John, Nope it’s not ad free. Just like all Google services, this one too comes with ads… However, there’s no limit to the number of texts you can send in a day…

      Regards to your second problem, I used to have a personal sms channel for me and my family with a lot of posts going out but never faced this problem. Maybe it’s a new restriction they’ve put because of the large number of channels out there. Just wait some time before sending out new texts… 🙂

  3. How can i make my channel into Private channel ?

    • Ranjit… If you are getting an error in the creation or about your blog, check if the rss link that you are using for creating the sms channel. Best way to check it is to open Google Reader or an RSS reader and try to import that link to it. Hope that helps, 🙂

      And do tell me what happened…
