Google+ SMS support added in 41 countries

When Google+ launched in June last year, SMS features were available only in India and the US. Today we’re pleased to announce the expansion of Google+ SMS to 41 new countries:

Google+ helps you share the right things with the right people when you are online, but how about when you are not connected to the Internet? A team of motivated engineers in India realized the importance of connecting you with the right people on Google+ -- regardless of where you are or what kind of device you're on -- and we've introduced Google+ SMS features as a result.
