Google SMS    [ Geek Stuff ]

Just yesterday I heard about the new Google SMS Service which allows people to send google sms messages using their cell phone and get responses about all kinds of useful stuff. So far the service is supposed to include the ability to lookup local buisness listings, phone book entries, froogle price quotes, dictionary definitions, and calculator.

Note though, I've been trying to use it all last night and this morning and I can't seem to get a response. Dunno why, but the thought of such a service is very intriguing.

bastard! it won't work for me :(

i poked around the google sms message boards and it seems that anyone who has a number that was ported from a different provider at some point is having problems with the service. hopefully they can get that fixed.

I got a message saying the service is temporarily down. I'll have to try it later.
