DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (DiGi) today announced its partnership with Google to offer Gmail SMS, a service that allows non-smartphone users to use Gmail services.
Google’s Gmail SMS is a service that allows Gmail users to send text messages to their friends on mobile phone. Replies and responses to the text message will appear as a reply in Chat.
For selected DiGi customers, the service requires no subscription; chat messages sent via SMS from their mobile phones are billed at RM0.10 per SMS. Unfortunately the service is not available for DiGi port-in customers(012,019,017,018,013).
Only these DiGi pre-fix mobile numbers are supported- 016, 014-3,014-6,014-9, 010-2,010-36 to 010-39,010-46,010-56,010-66,010-76,010-82,010-88,010-90 to 010-98.
This strategic partnership announcement is made on the back of a global agreement between Google and Telenor announced recently. Its intention is to roll out a global Android Market initiative in stages to stimulate further growth of the Android ecosystem in all 11 international markets of Telenor, including Malaysia.
