Google from almost any cell phone

| No Comments

I just found out about a neat new feature over at Google.. a new SMS (cell-phone message system) interface for those of us too cheap to pay for web-access on our phones. Nearly every phone has a SMS feature.. although some providers charge for it. I know for T-Mobile it is $.05 a message, but AT&T has free incoming messages I think. In any case it's probably cheaper than calling 411 which can cost from $1 - $1.50 (if you're good at google queries) .

It looks easy, you send one message to google and 1-3 sms messages
reply with the answer in a minute. I haven't tested it yet, but looks
neat. Check out the tips sheet too, for stuffing into your wallet.
