Google has launched Gmail SMS, a free email solution which allows mobile phone users in Nigeria and Ghana and Kenya
to send and receive emails without internet connection. The service
works on any phone including basic phones that only support voice and
SMS.
If you activate GMail SMS, the service automatically forwards your e-mails as SMS text messages to your phone. You can respond to the e-mails by responding directly to the SMS. 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.”
