What was SMS search?

hmsimha• 13 years ago

It allowed you to access services like yellow pages, weather, directions through text messages.

For example I could text google (466453) "directions chicago, IL to San Francisco, CA" and it would text me a full list of directions in response. Or I could text "weather" and it would respond with a 3-day forecast. Or I could text "taco bell miami, FL" and it would text me a list of taco bells in miami with their addresses and phone numbers (limited to a page of 5, with the ability to request more.)
