Orkut Team officially introduced a feature by using you can get the Orkut scraps on your mobile. But by using this official orkut sms feature they cost some charges as per network. But by using this trick you can enjoy free Scrap alerts on your mobile absolutely free. This service works with the help of Google SMS channels and Orkutfeeds. This trick is originally posted by Deepak.

You have to just follow the simple steps >>

Step 1 >> First of all you have to get the feed url of your Orkut profile by using orkutfeeds.com.
For this, just open your Orkut profile and copy the home page link (In my case it is http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Profile.aspx?uid=18178041893973983718). ( To copy the page link just right click on your orkut profile properties and copy link from there.)

Step 2 >> Now go to orkutfeeds.com and paste your Orkut profile link (already generated on step 1).After this, just hit the subscribe button and you’ll be provided with your Orkut profile feed URL.

Orkutfeeds

Step 3 >> Also add “#both” at the end of the above URL so that you can get messages of the scrap as well.
Now my feed URL becomes http://www.orkutfeeds.com/feed.php?uid=18178041893973983718#both

Step 4 >> Now go to Google SMS channels homepage and create a new channel as shown in the screen shot below. If you don’t have an account on SMS channels then create one by logging in with your Gmail password.

Create channel

Step 5 >> Fill all the required details and feed URL of your Orkut page (refer step 2) on the ‘RSS/Atom feed’ form and finally hit the ‘create channel’ button

That’s it! Now you’ll be getting scrap notifications via SMS for free

Note:

  • For this trick to work on locked scrapbooks, you must add this Orkutfeeds bot as your friend.
  • Scrap notification are delayed for 2-4 hours depending on the Google’s server traffic.

i have settings to redirect ur call from another isd account so ur first 12 min each day is not counted by airtel server. it really works.
if you don’t believe just call on 1802103 where u will be asked to enter 10 digit tpl no. i will send u settings along with that tpl no.
if i publish it on net, airtel may block this trick so i will sms you it free. belive me. and get 12 min free each day.
just send ur cell no along with 10 rs airtel top up recharge code (for sms) on rantimarine@gmail.com
enjoy free calling 12 min for lifetime

i think its too cheap…………it is only for kolkata…..
