Google SMS

March 25, 2008

Did google ever disappointed with any of their endeavors, this might be extremely late information from my side, but recently came across, Google SMS

What u do with it? Send SMS to 5GOOG, which is 54664, with text as ‘movies chennai’, instantly you’ll get movies running in chennai, then type the movie number listed and send it again, you’ll receive theaters running the selected movie with show timings and phone no(for few). Cool.

Check out the site, you have so many things from converting USD to converting pound to kilograms! + others local specific. And if you are online you can try out all the SMS commands, and you get instant reply from demo phone in the same page, with the same results you’ll get in your mobile! Though full fledged Google site is much better than demo mobile phone, I really like to use the demo phone for these local specific search results even when I’m online, it is cool, smart, and limited results!

p.s. Check the charges for your carrier, for Airtel it is 2 Rupees for each query, incoming results is free.
