Free sms from GMail to Mobilink in Pakistan

For the first time in history you can send free SMS to Mobilink numbers all over the world through your Gmail account/ Gmail chat. Don’t think that I will be giving you any specific code or a telling a trick for this. It’s a genuine offer that Google along with Mobilink are offering. There has been no such offer ever before. Similarly, Mobilink users can reply back also to same Gmail account but it is necessary that a SMS should be received through Gmail account. The Mobilink users cannot send SMS by their own choice to any of the Gmail account.



How you go about?

The new users as well as the existing users can avail this offer. Nor the Gmail or Mobilink users have to subscribe or register for this offer. The first and the last requirement is to have a Gmail account. If you don’t have, than follow these steps:
Visit here: www.gmail.com
Click on “Create an account” (option is available on top right of the screen).

How Gmail users send messages?


Once you have login to your account, go to send SMS box option.
Type only Mobilink number to whom you have to send this text message. Another screen will open after this.
Check country code. Country code for Pakistan is “0092”.( you can also save this contact right now. Since it gives you option for saving contact. If you get it saved, then for next time you will type the user’s name).
A new window appears before you. Type your message and send it.
That’s it.

How Mobilink users will respond it?


It’s not more than a single step. Just click on reply option.
There are some commands which Mobilink users can use. Such as
Block and unblock: By using “Block” command you can block messages from particular Gmail account and with “unblock” you can unblock the Gmail user account.

There are some limitations regarding this Gmail SMS offer. It offers credit only for 50 SMS. For each SMS, credit decreases by one. I discovered a new thing while using it. When any Mobilink user sends you a message he will be charge more than 1 Rs. But when you receive any message, your credit is increased by five. I must say it’s unbelievable. It’s a new offer and everyone should try with it since now you can remain in contact with your friends and it cost you “ZERO” but gives you “5” credit, at the same time.

How to improve your Wireless internet and network connection?

Microsoft Windows gives you a notification whenever your wireless network has a weak signal. This is a sign that you should improve your wireless network. When you get this notification, it means that the wireless connection is not as reliable or high-speed as it's supposed to be. In fact, the wireless connection signal may be completely lost in certain areas of the house. If you would like to improve your wireless network signal, you should carry out a few of these tips. These tips will extend the wireless range. They will also improve the overall performance as well as reliability of the wireless network.



Re-position the wireless router (or wireless access point) to the centre of the house.



Place the router away from walls.

Place the router off the floor.

Place the router away from metal objects.

Instead of using a standard antenna which you get with the router, use a hi-gain one. If the standard router is placed by an outer wall, part of the wireless signals will be directed outside the house. This will also waste the power of the router. Hi-gain antennas send the wireless signals in a single specific direction which you are able to aim on the path where you need them a large amount.



Replace your laptop or computer's wireless network adapter with a USB network adaptor. It uses an external antenna that improves the range of the signals. (Laptops which have built-in wireless normally contain outstanding antennas. They do not usually require to be upgraded.)

Add a wireless repeater to extend the signal range.



Change the wireless router's channel to increase the strength of its signal. You can do that through the configuration page of the router. The computer will detect the new channel itself.



Reduce wireless interference by avoiding wireless electronics which use the 2.4GHz frequency. You should use cordless phones which use the 900MHz or 5.8GHz frequencies.

Update your firmware updates for your router through the manufacturer's website. Update your network adapter driver through the Windows Update feature of Windows 7 and Vista or visit the website www.update.microsoft.com for Windows XP.

Upgrade 802.11b devices to 802.11g or buy a new 802.11 g equipment. It is five times faster than an 802.11b device.
