African, Middle Eastern and South Asian Users Can Now Update their Google+ Status through SMS
The Google India Blog announced that users can now easily post status updates to Google+ via SMS. For some foreign countries where mobile internet isn’t always a given in all areas, this tool allows people to stay up to date without having to head over to an Internet cafe or finding a wi-fi signal. The feature is pretty simple, but adds to Google+’s buffet of services.
The service was originally available only to users in the US and India when Google+ was launched in June of 2011, but the update brings the service to 41 new countries, listed below.
Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Bahrain, Benin, Cambodia, Cameroon, Congo (DRC), Cote D’Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana, Guinea, Indonesia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Morocco, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand, Tunisia, Uganda, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Zambia.
