evion 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Hey cool new feature with Google! I'm dying to use it but the site seems to be a bit vague on the details don't you think? I see all the features but i see no price. Somehow, the "How do you do it" table at the bottom seems to apply to only US residents. Do other countries get this feature too? Is "Google SMS" computere generated answers or is it human powered? theres another new feature on google! it just keeps on growing and growing doesnt it!Well I totally agree with you. I can still remember Google as a loner search engine during the old times when i was still using Yahoo! as my main search engine. MSN wasn't too bad those times too. Now Google wants to expand more and more. Doesn't this remind you all of Microsoft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redsox58 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Thats a little old its been out for awhile now. The only fee is the fee of sending a text message. I've used it a couple of times just to see if it'd work. It did. I'm not sure if it works in anywhere else but USA though. You can get directions from the specific name or just the categorie of the business. It also has Frooogle SMS aswell for prices of stuff. It all uses Google's algorithms and the same stuff it uses for its internet searches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harriko 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2005 i may want to use this to answer my questions or when i get lost but the only thing is that it only works in the US.... and im in the uk. so like always for everything i have to wait till the service is available for the uk after the rest of the world has it.
