Registering for Jaamun Email service via SMS

To sign-up, simply send an SMS in the following format to 09773467755

Email ID SPACE Email Password

Next, you shall receive a confirmation of your registration via SMS.

An account will be automatically created for you on Jaamun. The user name for this account will be your mobile number and the password will be the same as your email password.

As and when you get time, you can login into your Jaamun account and configure filters, change email ID mapped to the mobile, configure time filters or pay for the subscription.

Jaamun service number 09773467755 is not an ordinary mobile number. It is actually a Virtual Mobile Number (VMN) just like the premium numbers that you might have come across such as 56070 & 56677, the only difference being that the users do not need to pay premium charges for sending an SMS to this number.

It is for this particular reason that we chose 09773467755 to operate our service, although we had the option of using a 5 digit premium number as well. All mails that you receive on mobile will come from 09773467755 and when you use our reply, forward and compose service you would have to send an SMS to the same number.

Also note that the cost of sending an SMS to 09773467755 is over and above the subscription charges. The actual cost of sending an SMS may vary between Rs. 0 & Rs. 1.50, depending on your tariff plan.

Do let us know what you feel about the SMS registration scheme.

Cheers!
