Just imagine yourself having an Sms alert whenever you receive a new mail into your gmail/yahoo/other inbox without even having an internet connection!!. In this Exciting world around us, Where Email is the primary source of communication, it's important to keep ourselves updated with Emails!!! So let's explore the way to get 'free' Email alerts on our Mobiles via "Sms".... There are many ways where you can get Free Email alerts for your phone. Lets see some of the selected and best methods to create your Email alerts for free.. Both the tweaks jotted below requires you to forward your email (let it be from gmail/yahoo or any other) to one of these services.
Tweak 1: Using the most famous Hotmail/Live service.
Hotmail/ Windows live offers a free service that sends an sms alert to your phone when you receive a mail into your live/hotmail inbox. So we can use this service to get your personal email alerts just by auto forwarding your personal email to hotmail inbox. The steps to setup the service is as follows.
Step 1: Create a windows live or hotmail account which just takes few seconds.
Step 2: Navigate to this link https://devices.live.com/Devices/Mobile to configure your mobile number for receiving alerts by clicking on the "Add a phone" link present on the page. Go on with the instructions present later.
Step 3: Forward your gmail/yahoo or any of your personal mail to the email created in Step 1 to receive instant alerts. The forwarding instructions can be found in this page.
Tweak 2: Our friendly way2sms.com
Way2sms is yet an other service that offers the same functionality as hotmail.all you need to do is create an account with www.way2sms.com , register your mobile for "Mail Alerts" and follow the instructions present in the "Mail Alerts" tab.
The only disadvantage with way2sms is that you need to renew the subscription for every 14days. So I would personally recommend to go with hotmail.com to get your email alerts.
