Texting From a Kiosk

Indian mobile operator Airtel has launched an SMS kiosk in the southern city of Bangalore, in an attempt to give a flavor of messaging to those who don't own a cell phone, reports Cellular News.

This new service will provide customers the option of sending a local or national SMS to any mobile phone in the country at just Re. 1. The usage of the AirTel ExpresSMS is similar to that of a coin-operated phone booth. The customer can also wait and receive a reply SMS from the mobile number to whom they had sent a message.
