UpSnap.com - Free directory assistance for cellphones
Perhaps, like me, you find it obscene to have to pay a dollar or more every time you use your cellphone's directory assistance.
Well, guess what: you don't have to any more.
UpSnap, a text-messaging company, has just introduced free directory assistance for users of SMS.
To activate it, you first visit UpSnap.com and send a message to your own cellphone.
After that, you SMS to UpSnap the name and location of the business or person you need, and they send you back, via SMS, a reply.
Try it, you might like it.
Nice price, in any event.

Right, why sign up? Google SMS services are limited and often return "Access Denied" on my Tmobile phone. Thats why I use Koffee-Break SMS services. Koffee-Break is an Amazon.com company. So they say:

My friends in UK and Germany also use it.

Google does the same thing, and you don't need to sign up. Why should you have to sign up?
Check it out at sms.google.com.
