1.compare prices:

You will be given information on what you are looking at and provided with comparative online pricing. It’s free. It’s fun, and it’s a great way to shop smart.Imagine that you can get all the weather,sports and other news (even stock quote) just by sending a SMS,yeah its real

3.Locate:


Find pizza palors, salons, pharmacies and more: Just use the Google short code 46645. You simple send a text to that short code and include as much info as you can, i.e. pizza syracuse new york 13212. Tap the send button and Google will send you text messages almost instantly with business names, locations and phone numbers.

4.Escape!:

Need to get out of a meeting? Has a date gone horribly wrong? Popularitydialer.com to the rescue! Using this service you can schedule a predetermined time for the service to call your phone. A voice will come on the line and start talking as though it were a friend. You can even select a male or female voice.

5.Get Maps and Directions:


Check out Google’s mobile website. Their mobile maps have much of the same functionality as their full desktop version, including zoom, satellite or street views, and the ability to plug in two locations and receive step by step directions.

6.How to let someone down gently:

The Rejection Hotline is a fun number to give out if you don’t feel like sharing your digits. 703.912.1725 brings you to a very funny recorded message.

7.Photo Fun:

If you are running on a GSM network, and 70% of the world is, then you can have lots of fun with short codes and pictures. Snap a picture of yourself, type in the subject line and send it to short code: 7799. You will receive back a photo that will morph your picture into an animal. Very cool.

8.No Service, no problem :

Use 112 for emergency dialing, even if you are out of range or if your phone is locked.
