The Mumbai Festival selected SMS GupShup, the popular group messaging service, as its official SMS Partner for its 2008 event. SMS updates on event schedules, food festivals, theater events, and other related information will be available. The service will be available for the duration of the festival, from January 24 to February 3. To give Mumbaikars a choice of updates, SMS GupShup set up three groups: MumbaiFestival, FoodFests and Theatrics.

Webaroo has also launched innovative picture messaging as a part of their SMS GupShup service offering.
