The month that was – March, 2008

April 14th, 2008 by Satya Yerramsetti

Yet another eventful month went by. Records were set, only to be broken AGAIN this month. :-D

We added more than 2.5 lakh users, taking our registered base past 7 lakhs. But, the real measure, the number of mobiles we reached, has skyrocketed from 15.5 lakhs to 28 lakhs.

And if that was good, check the message count…. users sent over 1.3 Crore messages in March alone, a WHOPPING 77% growth over Feb.

And all this, in less than a year of operations…. Great, isn’t it?

All this, has been made possible only by the continued support from YOU guys, our users. Thanks a lot, everyone…

Our widget is now available on over 700 websites. Thanks a lot, for trusting us enough to add it on your sites/blogs.

Also, on the WAP front, we have added all the basic functions available on the Internet. So, you can now register, send messages, send templates & add contacts without going near a computer… Isn’t that an incentive to get GPRS connection Now??

The efforts are starting to bear fruit, with over 10% volume now coming from WAP. Same is the case with the J2ME Application as well… More news on that, as it happens.

We have also started a new service to help our users who have internet restricted in their workplaces… Any guesses???

EMAIL 2 SMS… Now, just email your sms text to us & we will deliver it to your friend.

Using this, you can now send FREE SMS to your friends anywhere in INDIA. Just email us with the following format:

Send the email to <receiver’s mobile number>@160by2.com,

In subject, enter your <username> or <mobile number>,

Enter the text you want to be sent across to your friend in the text box below the subject.

An image has been provided below to facilitate better understanding.

So, if you couldn’t use 160by2 because of Internet restictions, BREAK FREE ! and start sending FREE SMS to your friends across India.

Hope you will like this new feature as well…

Please keep those comments flowing….

Keep SMSing!!!

I mean if u can add an option (GroupSMS) which will be a real boost to your site and more friendly user… and also an option to receive cricket updates….. than i think ur site will receive a huge response from every aspect……

  40. sandeep Says:

    Cool feature dude .. the features and the simple look stuns me…
    One suggestion though ….
    You could add the color customization feature for a fresh look
    ….
    Regards … Sandeep

  41. Vaibhav Dugar Says:

    hey. I have been using this site for couple of months now and what keeps me coming back is the look and feel of the site. it’s simple and neatly laid out. The other good thing is the features you keep coming out with.

    Since, you have come out with the email 2 Sms version, I am eagerly awaiting the “sms through your webpage/blog” version. A widget will be cool and how about releasing an API later in the year.

    By, the way, how are you taking care of spammers?
    this email version has struck an idea in my head. Create an email form.
    But i do believe that opening up more of such windows for convenience in sending smses will result in a lot of spam.

    I know u’ll prove me wrong..
    your work shows a lot of promise…

    all the best.
