Some of you are probably going to say "Welcome to 2005" but my wife just let me in on this the other day so boo to you.... :goof

Anyhow... You can send a text 466453 and it will give you hella information.

For Example...

- All I sent in the text was "Dark Knight New Berlin" and within seconds it text me back the locations, addresses, and showtimes of that movie at the nearest 4 theatres.

- Then I just picked a random restaurant and text "Dicarlo Oak Creek" and it text me right back with the address and phone number.

She said she was told it was a free service and only normal texting rates apply and I thought it was too good to be true so I went to Google and right from their site "Google doesn't currently charge users to send a query or to receive results, but your mobile provider's standard rates for sending and receiving text messages still apply." so fire away I guess. :thumbsup

As long as my cell phone number isn't being packed into a database for later abuse by direct marketing.

I think there's legislation against that. Because some carriers charge for incoming texts and what not, they can't.

466453 = Google on your key pad which is easier to remember.

It does a lot more then give you phone numbers and addresses.
