Gmail has started rolling out "Free SMS on Gmail" facility for all the Google Apps customers in India. It is available for all App users, Free as well as paid.
If you want to send an SMS to your friends on your contact list just enter the name in the “Search or invite friends” box in the chat and “Select SMS” from the box of options that appears to the right of your contact’s name. Or, if you already have a Chat window open for this contact, just click Options, and select Send SMS.
SMS credit is an allocation of SMS (text messages) that you’re able to send to a mobile phone:
If your SMS credit goes down to zero at any point, it will increase back up to one 24 hours later. So, you won’t ever be locked out of the system.
Additionally, Google has also explained a way to “buy” additional messages, where user has to just send an SMS from his own phone and then reply to it multiple times. Every time, a SMS comes in the Gmail mailbox, you get an additional of 5 outgoing SMSes (max upto 50).

Google SMS Credit
How it works:
- Initially, you’re granted a credit of fifty messages.
- Every time you send a message, your credit decreases by one.
- Every time you receive an SMS message in Chat (for example when a phone user replies to one of your messages) your credit increases by five, up to a maximum of 50.
If your SMS credit goes down to zero at any point, it will increase back up to one 24 hours later. So, you won’t ever be locked out of the system.
