Google Targets Africa With Email-to-SMS Tool

Google has launched a new service called "Gmail SMS," a version of its Gmail email service, for users in Africa. This text message-based version of Gmail, currently available in Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya, is designed for phones that cannot access the Internet and that have only the most basic features, according to the BBC. Google SMS works by forwarding emails to phones in the form of a text message. Users can then directly reply to that email via text, with the correspondence then filed away in Gmail's conversation format.
