Get sms alerts from your Inbox for free


         “You went to bed late at night and obviously woke up late next morning. Meanwhile you did not get time to check your mail which actually helped you to reach office in time. But the twist happened when you got to know that the meeting for which you prepared the whole night actually got over even before you reached office. Actually the meeting was preponed by an hour due to some reasons and you were informed through mail.”  

If the above story is quite common in your life then this article will surely get you through.You just need to follow some really easy steps and then you are done. After that you will get all the notifications in your mobile via text and need not worry about checking your mail each time.

STEP-1:
Go to www.way2sms.com and make a free account with the signup button. After you become a registered user then sign-in into your account. 

STEP-2:
Once you sign in, you will find “Mail Alerts” at the top right end corner. Once you click it you will be redirected to you alerts page. Here you need to note two things. First your Mail Alert Status should be activated and second you will find “Forward your mails to” followed by a mail address. Copy the address.

STEP-3:
Go to your mail page like gmail or outlook and forward all your mails to the address you got in step 2. Then you are done. You will now receive all your mails as a sms alert.

I can help you with Microsoft Outlook and GMail as I tried with them personally. So here it goes:

OUTLOOK:
  • ·         Sign in to your account and at the right top you will find “Options”.
  • ·         Select “Create your Inbox rules” and then click “NEW” in the page redirected.
  • ·         Once you click “new” you will get two options:
1.      "When the message arrives and"
·         Select the option “Apply to all messages”.
2.      "Do the following"
·         Select the option “Redirect the message to” and paste the mail address obtained in step-2.
That finishes your job. You can now do your work without any worry as you will get all information in your phone wherever you are.

GMAIL:
  • ·         Sign in to your account and at the right hand top corner click the settings icon.
  • ·         Then select “Forwarding and POP/IMAP” button.
  • ·         Click on “Add a forwarding message” and paste the address obtained in step-2. You may be   verified by google. Once you verify your account or phone then you can enjoy receiving sms alerts.

For any other mail domains other than the two examples, you will get the information from the website www.way2sms.com itself. I hope this article will be able to help you a lot.

IIIT Bangalore interview

You would also like Preparing for Interview , Getting into IIITB ,  Preparing for Online Exam , and FAQ on MS in IIITB We reached the campus for the interview 5 minutes before the scheduled time. I attended a lot of interviews before this but the interview at IIITB seemed special. A little bit of tension and the joy to be in Bangalore balanced my psyche as my brother parked the car in the parking lot. He was my cousin’s friend who was there to accompany me as he himself was a student of IIITB . Nevertheless, both of us went to the help desk located at the main gate where I had to verify myself as me. Then we were handed over a paper which listed all the process that was going to be held and was directed to the main building. Impressive as we already knew what all we had to do without any problem. So we headed towards the main building. It looked great from outside with some perfect combination of colors and a large logo at the top. The campus was tidy enough which seemed ...

Now here you are, at the most important part-The Preparation. Well there's nothing to be feared or getting tensed. These exams are all about testing your capabilities. If you are pretty sure about what you can do, then you are there. I will be dividing the article in two parts i.e, Online Exam and Interview (Follow the link provided) and I will be short.

They are easy but needs some practice. As you have limited time for each section...

Terrified Surprise !!!

       'R onny...... Ronny.... Wake up'. I could hear a fading voice calling my name to wake up. I somehow opened my eyes and looked at my watch. It was 10:50 PM. Then I could figure out that it was my roommate waking me up to have dinner. My eyes did not like this disruption and forced me to close them again. Within seconds this friend of mine started calling me again and this time handed me my dinner. With no choice left, I woke up and had my dinner. There is a small incident before this one which needs to be depicted before I proceed further. Four friends including me decided to share an apartment as we worked in the same company, were friends for the past 6 months and this would indeed save some bucks for us to enjoy. Once, there was a long vacation of 3 days (Once you join office, 3 days will be like 1 month holiday) and everyone was planning for some trip or the other. But for us it was a normal holiday which meant sitting back home and watchi...
