Have you ever needed a quick phone number and didn't want to take the time to boot up your computer and search Google and you wanted to avoid the high charge for directory assistance or 411 connect? Have you ever wanted the phone numbers for the local movie theatres or pizza places near you and you don't have anything to write the numbers down on? There is a quick and easy way to get the information you want within 60 seconds and most of you can get the information quick and cheap with your cell phone and your text message feature.
Send a text message to this number: 466453 (I know this is a partial number but trust me it will work). Now type in what you are searching for and for your example use the following as a test: Plumber 43050 (of you can type in Plumber XXXX (enter your zip code where my x's are) Now simply press send and sit tight and within 60 seconds you will get a text message with the information. This works for client names, addresses and phone numbers and it works for just about anything you are searching. If you want another good test why not search your name or your spouses name and your zip code?
There are so many potential uses for this service and once you play with it a bit you will quickly see the many possibilities. Your family will love it, your past clients will love it, your team will love it, I have a feeling that pretty much anyone with a cell phone will find a use for it at some point. The key to remember is that if you do not have a text messaging account you will get charged a non contract text message rate. For those of us with text messages contracts and especially those of us who have unlimited text messaging this is a feature that we will be using on a very regular basis. Google has done it again and the speed of this service is amazing.
