Default Google Text Msg

Morning & happy Wed to all....

This might be a re-post but have any of you tried this service from google? All you do is text them with what your looking for & the city you want it in and google will reply with what it finds within the specific city you requested..... Beats the hell out of 411 if you dont have Internet access on your cell phone.

When you send it the number will be google so just spell it out on your keypad, 466453

Enjoy peeps.....

I use the text thing all the time. It works well. If you need a specific answer that Google won't give, then text the question to "chacha"

I GOOG-411, I use it all the time. Also, if your moral standards are a little low there is (used to be at least) a semi-easy process to use it to call long distance numbers for free.
