GET THE NEW FREE SMS 2.0 FROM AIRTEL

Airtel, India’s largest mobile network with insane number of
subscribers came up with a new idea called SMS 2.0. It’s basically a
mobile application dealing with text messaging.

Over a period of time everything (email, IM… etc) seem to be
evolved, but SMS is still an old man’s postal mail with its dull and
usual features. Airtel created SMS 2.0 with an intention to overcome
the boring default text editor of your phone.

What is SMS 2.0?

SMS 2.0 is a free upgrade to your existing or default SMS
application. Once installed, it enhances your messaging capabilities by
replacing the existing application and including features like
emoticons, colors etc. It can also deliver your favorite content to
your mobile.

Follow these steps to get SMS 2.0 on your Airtel mobile phone:

• Go to Airtel SMS 2.0 page and click download SMS 2.0 for free.
  
• Now you will be prompted to enter your 10 digit Airtel number (Prepaid/Postpaid) in a pop up box.
  
• Once you enter and click send button, you will shortly receive a service message from Airtel
  
• Open up the service message and click the link to download Airtel
  sms 2.0 app. Note you need Airtel live to be activated before. If you
  haven’t activated send a message “alive” to 202, once activated send a
  message “live” to 2567 to get settings from Airtel.
  
• Once you downloaded, install the application and restart the phone.
  Now SMS 2.0 will be installed successfully in your phone replacing your
  default SMS editor.
  
• Whenever you read a message a small box is placed below it which
  shows your favorite content from Airtel. When you click the box, it
  gets maximized and you can read more about it. Currently there are 12
  categories like Cricket, Movies, Jokes, Music, Sports, Fun & Games,
  News, Lifestyle, Travel & Food, InfoTech, Business and
  Spirituality.
  

Snippet: Airtel simultaneously uses the box to
display ads related to the categories. Unfortunately this application
and service is available only for Airtel (Prepaid/Postpaid) subscribers
all the states and compatible with Nokia (GPRS enabled phones) handsets
only. Others have to wait until they build an application for your
phone.

Also by installing this application, they prompt you to register. By
registering you create a SMS 2.0 profile which tells your age, gender
and content preferences. So they can customize content for you.
