Google Instant SMS Search Service -- How May I Help You?
If you are watching an intense cricket match and the power goes off suddenly
If you have to know about the weather of Chennai before going for a South India trip
If you have to buy a railway ticket or wanna know about the airfare
And above all of that, you don't have internet working at home,Google has all the answers to your IF's.
Google India has launched a newer version of its SMS Search service that allows users to SMS their query to 9-77-33-00000 at the cost of a regular SMS and get instant answers.
In the past, cricket scores and astrology updates on SMS used to be very helping to a lot of us until seeing the premium charges associated with short code services.
But that is where Google scores over others. It takes normal SMS charges from you.
