Very neat google feature that I’ve been over-using so I’m sharing it with everybody who dosn’t know about it yet.
If you txt to “google” 466453 you can get a bunch of information, such as weather, 411, tickets, sports updates etc.
Dosn’t charge you anything more then a regular txt message, which is free if you have the plan.
Text message your search query to 466453 (‘GOOGLE’ on most devices) and we’ll text message back results.
Personalized SMS saves you time by saving your location. We’ll automatically save your most frequently used location for future queries. You can also text ‘set location’ followed by a city & state or zip to save a new location.
