How to get free SMS alert for Gmail, 15 minute talk time, and free SMS

Hi dear friends, it has been a long time since I came up with some new cool idea to help you ease your life.  Sometimes we are expecting an important mail, but we cannot stay in front of computer all the time to check again and again whether the mail arrived or not, at that time we wish if we had a Free SMS alert in GMAIL, but unfortunately this service is not available currently on GMAIL, but you do not worry.  We can get this done for free.  Plus you will get 15 minutes of free talk time and more free talk time for each friend you invite.

Today, I am going to share with you all a method through which you can set a free SMS mail alert system in GMAIL, without even revealing your password to any third party, as you need to do it in way2sms.  So let us start.

Note:  This process may take upto 15 minutes to setup.

Step 1:  Go to Click Here for Free 15 minute talk time and signup for an Ibibo account.  This will also give you free talk time of 15 minutes.  By this method, you will get a call from ibibo on your mobile, and it will connect you to your friend, and as such you both will talk on your mobile, no need of internet headphone or anything it will just be a normal phone call with caller tune advertisement.

Step 2:  After signing up for an account on Ibibo, click on Free SMS, and setup your mobile number with your ibibo account.  Note:  Your mobile number is confidential and not shared with anyone, not even your friends, but your friends can send you free SMS or call you if you allow so.  As soon as you setup your mobile number with your Ibibo account, you will get 15 minutes of free talktime and you can call any of your friends for free.

Step 3:  Note down your new ibibo email address, it must be like eg,  yourusername@ibibo.com.

Step 4:  Now go to Gmail account and click on Settings on the top right corner.  Then click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP.

Step 5:  Click on Add a forwarding email address and enter your ibibo email id, eg., yourusername@ibibo.com.  You will be given a password, note it down, and then go to your ibibo mail, their you will receive a verification mail from gmail, click on the link which says, Click to Verify your forward request etc. and authorize GMAIL to forward your gmail emails to Ibibo.

Step 6:  Go to ibibo account, and click on SMS alerts Activate Button.  That is it, you have successfully setup your account to receive free SMS alert of GMAIL.

Extra:  You can also create GMAIL filter for selective emails, subject, or any search string, suppose you want to get alert of only a few friend on SMS, then you can create a filter for his/her email id and get alert only for that.  Go to Settings > Filter >  Create a new Filter >  enter your friends email address > select other options of forwarding, and select your forwarding id as yourusername@ibibo.com,  as such you will receive free alert for specific friends.  Similarly if you want SMS alert or specific subject you can create a filter for that and forward it your ibibo account.
