Send text message for Google search

Did you know that you can do a google search using your text message feature of your cell phone? It's easy - just send a text message to Google at 466453 (spells Google on your keypad), and within seconds, you have a text message with the information you need. For example, you can type in a person’s name, city and state and get their contact information, including address. You can text words plus zip codes like “sushi 78745” and find all the sushi places in that zip code. You can also get weather reports by texting “weather (name of city),” along with sports scores, stock quotes, dictionary definitions, movie listings, and driving directions. Get the full information and instructions at www.google.com/mobile/sms

This is a free service from Google. You only pay the text messaging rates that apply via your provider.
