Way2sms does not work anymore for numbers registered with DND. Even if it works it will be only during 9 am to 9 pm. I tried all the services out in the web but none of the free services work these days due to new regulation by TRAI. The paid service of weekwill.com works fine and here is a comparison done with way2sms http://www.weekwill.com/blog/way2sms-com-mail-alerts-vs-weekwill-com
