The popular Google labs feature Googele SMS channels - India is paused due to increased bulk SMS costs. Is there any alternative way or service available to send updates to the mobile numbers for free of cost?

Alternative for Google SMS Channels
Create a twitter account. For example : livetolearnweb
Set your website feed to post tweets automatically in twitter using feed-burner.
Then ask your visitors to follow the twitter account via sms to get updates.
E.g. To get livetolearn.in updates via SMS send sms 'FOLLOW LIVETOLEARNWEB' to 53000.
does twitter only support Airtel in India?
Hello,
