 Sometimes we wonder what we would have done without technology. But then again, we also know what could be done. Like getting the latest Railway and Union budget updates on your mobile phone.
On February 26 and 28, when the Railway and Union budgets are going to be presented in Parliament, people not just in Mumbai, but anywhere in India need not sit glued to their televisions to hear what the ministers have announced (a train fare hike? an Income-Tax rate reduction? You get the message, don't you?). All you have to do is click here , register with Mid Day Mobile, and get 15 messages (five for Railway and 10 for the Union budget) giving you the latest updates.
All you have to do is enter your details and your mobile number. It does not really matter where you are located in India or which mobile service provider you subscribe to in India. Or for that matter, any country in the world.
For BPL Mobile subscribers in Mumbai, it is even easier. Just type in 'mibudget' in the 'messages' option of your mobile phone and send the message to 333. And you are subscribed.
All this, for just Rs 35. Or $5 if you stay abroad.
Users can pay through credit card, or Mumbaikars can even opt for a cash-on-delivery mechanism by either logging on to mid-day.com or just calling Hello Mid Day on 490-0000.
Chances are the budget will have lots for us to cheer about. And you would have read it first on your mobile phone.
