New Google Directory Feature for Cell Phones
Thursday, February 28, 2008
There is an exciting new service from Google that allows you to find the locations and phone numbers for any service, restaurant or facility anywhere, anytime. This feature available by cell phone, from any city in the US, allows users to text an inquiry and the zip code to 46645 and in moments you will receive a text back with the requested information.
For example one could text “Pizza 27608” to 46645 and within seconds, multiple pizza restaurant locations and phone numbers will be text back to your cell phone. Or if you need an address for a specific location, “Pace Realty Group 27608” you can get that too without paying for 411. Simply text the number 46645, enter your requested information, one space, then the zip code. The information will be text back to you in a series, with the message asking you to reply with NEXT for more results.
Google does not charge a fee for this service however standard text messaging rates apply.
Another great Google feature allows users to call Google 411 directory assistance from a land line or cell phone and have results text back to you or be automatically connected. Simply dial 1-800-Goog411 or 1-800-466-4411.
