       Google has launched Gmail SMS, a simple service that allows
       Nigerians, Ghanaians and Kenyans send and receive e-mails as SMS
       messages using their mobile phone regardless of whether or not
       their phones are connected to the Internet.
       This service will proove to be extremely useful in these three
       countries given the often spotty state of Internet connectivity
       in many parts. Gmail SMS works on any phone including basic
       phones that only support voice and SMS.
       The service automatically forwards users e-mails as SMS text
       messages to their phones. They can respond to the e-mails by
       responding directly to the SMS.
       Receiving Gmail SMS is free of charge. Standard SMS rates apply
       when replying to messages, creating new messages and sending
       Gmail SMS commands from your phone.
       HOW IT WORKS
       “Gmail SMS automatically forwards your emails as SMS text
       messages to your phone and you can respond by replying directly
       to the SMS,” says Geva Rechav, Product Manager of Emerging
       Markets at Google. “You can control the emails received by
       replying with commands such as MORE, PAUSE and RESUME.
       Additionally, compose a new email as an SMS and send to any
       email address recipient – who will find your message in
       the right email conversation thread.”
       So, how do you set yourself up with Gmail SMS?
       First of all, you’ll need to log-in to your Gmail account,
       and click on your profile at the top of the page and then hit
       Account.
       Next, you’ll have to access your settings in the
       “Phone and SMS” section:

       You will then have to link your mobile phone number to your
       account to be able to send and receive emails from your
       handset:`
