Description: As the name indicates, you can send maximum of 80 bits message to any cell present in India. Though this is a free service to the end user, the company uses inherent advertisement feature, to earn through the free sms. The first 80 bits of the message is your sms text and the next 80 characters is an advertisement.
This was launched in June 2007, initially I doubted how can this sustain thinking there are other players in the market and also they give just 80 characters of message, but this turned up to a huge success because of their committed free service. They have done a great number of modifications to catch the nerve of the user.
