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. **Search Feature Sample Query** Local sushi 94040 Weather weather boston Glossary define zenith Sports \*\* score red sox Movies movies 94110 Stocks stock tgt Zip Codes zip code 72202 Directions directions pasadena ca to 94043 Maps map 5th avenue new york Flights \*\*\* flight aa 2111 Area Codes area code 650 Products price ipod player 40gb Q&A abraham lincoln birthday Airlines \*\*\* united airlines Translation translate hello in french Web Snippets web hubble telescope Calculator 1 us pint in liters Currency Conversion 8 usd in yen Airports \*\*\* sfo airport METAR\*\*\*\* metar khio Help help local > - Google SMS will return results using your saved location if no location is specified. > \*\* If you don’t receive any results, the season may be over for this sport. > \*\*\* Flights data is provided by [flightstats.com](http://flightstats.com). > \*\*\*\* METAR data provided by NOAA. > Requirements: Text messaging-enabled mobile device with a text messaging plan.
