Hi Tanya & others, Sending the sms command ACTV would work only during the period when it asks you to do that. Later Google unsubscribes you.
I suggest when this does not work, and even sending the "ON EYEWAYNEWS" does not help, unsubscribe for a day or so and subscribe again. To unsubscribe send OFF EYEWAYNEWS to 9870807070. After a day or so, subscribe again by sending: ON EYEWAYNEWS You can do all this online as well at http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels. The Google SMS channel pages are not very clear on this, and there is very little that we as channel owners can do to troubleshoot. I have written the above only out of experience. Also pasting below relevant portion from the FAQs of Google SMS channels: I'm a registered user, but I don't receive any messages. What do I do? Please make sure that you are subscribed to at least a few channels that are posting messages, your SMS Center number is correct, your mobile SMS Inbox is empty, you have not blocked or screened the Google SMS Channels number, you are not subscribed to the 'Do not Disturb' facility, your maximum message per day is not set to '0', and your "Start Time:" is less than the "End Time:" on your 'Settings' tab. If you have not visited the web SMS channels web site labs.google.co.in/smschannels or have not sent any SMS to 9870807070 from your mobile at least once in six months, your account may be deactivated. If your account was idle, you would have received an alert on your mobile asking you to reply. To reactivate your account, send the command 'ACTV' to 9870807070 from your mobile or login in with your gmail ID and go to the SMS channels page. If you still do not receive messages, please post a message to the Google SMS Channels Discussion Group to request help. thanks and regards, Pranay Gadodia | Programme Manager Project Eyeway - A knowledge resource for living a fuller life with vision loss C/o Score Foundation, 17/107, Basement, Vikram Vihar, Lajpatnagar 4, New Delhi 110024, INDIA.
