BOSTON -- Forget about calling 411 from your cell phone -- just text message Google.The company has launched a text-messaging service that will answer your questions when you are on the go. Whether you need driving directions or need to find a movie playing near you, Google's SMS will text the information to your cell phone.Just send your message to 46645, and you will receive a text message back with the answer to your question. For example, if you want to find a theatre that is showing Cars, text C-A-R-S and your ZIP code.
You'll receive a text message back with the names of the theatres and the times the movie is playing.The service is free right now, and it's in a test phase, but depending on your cell phone plan, you may have to pay to receive the text message.If you have a favorite Web site you'd like to see featured, or suggestions for a story idea, click here to e-mail Jamy your suggestions.Want to subscribe to the Click weekly newsletter?
