Text Message Google For Quick Info
My first experience with Google Mobile SMS (Beta) occurred last week when my boyfriend and I needed a phone number for a restaurant to order take-out. Since I didn't have my Blackberry with me we didn't have internet access, so my boyfriend suggested we text message Google for help. It was amazing!
Tips For International GSM Roaming
If you are planning to travel across the border this holiday season, there are some tricks of the trade when it comes to GSM (global system for mobile communications) cell phones and long distance calling.
- Calls to voice mail when roaming internationally are billed at international rates.
- When you are abroad and turn on your wireless phone, it will automatically search for a wireless network. Registration usually occurs within 30-40 seconds.
Geek Tip: 1-800-GOOG-411 Now With Maps
A few months back Google introduced its 1-800-GOOG-411 service, which provides users with free business info. You just call or text the number (1-800-466-4411) ask for help and your answer is spoken back or text messaged back to you (just by saying text message), and the number you requested is automatically given to you free of charge. It's less expensive than 411 (cause it's free!) and is just as easy as the old school service.
Need A Cup Of Joe? Text Starbucks!
Apparently, Starbucks receives thousands of calls each year from thirsty coffee drinks in search of the nearest coffee spot. Now, the caffeine-craving masses can send a text message with the area's zip code to MYSBUX (or 697289), and a list of nearby Starbucks stores will pop back. Customers using mobile devices with Web access will find a store locater by typing Starbucks.com.
