  • It is probably already introduced by today bcuz i received sms from ufone regarding starting of this service .

  • Good service, But I will not use this kind of non free services where I can already read send email and attachments with my GPRS enabled mobile in about 15paisas to 20paisas per email without attachment(Zong’s 8KB GPRS)

  • I would rather go the other arround,

    Is there any service of sending SMS on any number in Pakistan using email? any help ?
    Forexample if i want to send SMS to 0321XXXXXX and 0300XXXXX , i would type [email protected] and [email protected] , ( assuming pakcell is a private company providing “SMS to EMAIL” service to send SMS on any network in Pakistan). By using this method, i would simply pay a minimal monthly amount to pakcell.com and will keep sending SMS’s to any cell-number through my email account.

    This seems little trickier to me, and can be a good idea for a new company to launch this service.
