Whether you live in India or are just vacationing there, a situation might arise--such as a family emergency or a bill that is due--that makes it crucial for you to send money to another country. In India, as in most countries, it takes more planning to get something out of the country than to move it around within the country. But there are options, and once you know how much money you're sending and how quickly you want it to get there, you can pick a method that works for you.

An SMS message is better known as a text message. "Texting" is the method of chatting with someone, by sending messages from your mobile phone to another mobile phone in the event that you cannot talk. However, it can become rather costly to continue to send text messages if you do not have a data plan. If you constantly receive a text messages from someone who is harassing you or you need to find a way to keep your kids from texting you may want to try disabling your SMS messages.

Short Message Service (SMS) or Text Messaging is a quick and easy way to send information from mobile phone to mobile phone. You can also use SMS messaging to send emails from your computer to a cell phone. Most cellular service providers have an email server that will receive your email and transform it into an SMS message that will be sent to the phone number specified in the email address.
