have decided to build their official fan community on the SMS GupShup platform. Join your favorite teams and get latest updates from teams and players, participate in contests, play games, win incredible prizes…..

Product Updates

For publishers: As you know, GupShup currently allows a limited number of messages (4-8 per day) and limits the message length to 140 characters. Based on the feedback from the community GupShup will soon be reducing the message length, but increasing the number of messages allowed. Message posts will be restricted to 100 characters. The number of messages allowed per day will be increased to 6-12 per day.

For subscribers: On web and GPRS, subscribers will have unlimited access to all messages on all groups. Subscribers on SMS will get a limited number of free incoming messages per day and after that will have to pull additional messages by sending a GET message. These limits vary based on the activity level of the subscriber.

Games and Applications

GupShup is introducing a powerful new application platform (http://api.smsgupshup.com/) to enable you to quickly and easily develop and launch your own SMS games and applications. The platform gives you the benefit of all the infrastructure that GupShup has already developed. There are a few sample applications available, along with the source code, and instructions on how you can build your own. You can also earn revenues from the premium incoming messages. It’s like building your own VAS company – quickly and easily.
