Oil marketing companies today provide a range of services to communicate the latest rates of fuel to their customers. For instance, state-run Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) offers an SMS-based facility which enables its customers to receive information on current fuel rates on their mobile. Indian Oil consumers can find out the latest fuel prices in different parts of the country using this facility. The customer is required to send an SMS in a format prescribed by the company to a particular number in order to avail this service.
