Many users may have been waiting for this day when Orkut officially will start this service to ping their Mobiles with Orkut updates. You guys may have tries various tricks and hacks like changing scraps to RSS, making email email notification to send as SMS on mobile.
Now, Orkut has made this thing simple for you to get updated by recieving SMS message in you mobile inbox by using the service called ” Orkut SMS ” Orkut has alreadt launched their mobile version as http://m.orkut.com but it was of no use for mobile phones without facilities like EDGE or GPRS connectivity.
How to register?
1. Register your phone on the orkut website by going to mobile tab under Settings..
2. Choose Country and Enter your Mobile Number
3. After Clicking Next, you will receive Verification code from LM-Orkut.
4. Enter that code in the Orkut page and press Confirm button.
If you are a Orkut user, you should try it at-least for receiving scrap which is free.
Again, I am unlucky to be an Airtel subscriber which is not supported by Orkut. It doesn’t affect me because I don’t use Orkut much but don’t worry guys- Airtel is a leading cellphone carrier, it will be supported soon or just give it a try to check and confirm yourself.
Update: All network carriers including Airtel not only in India but also most of other countries are supported.
Please note that delivery of SMS message on mobile is not instant as soon as scrap is received. There is sometimes a delay of 3-4 hours but still an useful feature!
